Default Bathroom wall mirror

I'm planning to fit a wall mirror in a new bathroom - the space for it
to fill is approximately 1400mmx1400mm. Can anyone recommend a
possible supplier of a mirror cut to size? (I'm in London)

I'm not anticipating it being a hard job to fit it - using a thin
spread of adhesive. However, if anyone reading this knows better or
has any lessons learnt the hard way, then I'm open to other advice!

With many thanks,

James



On something that size I'd think about screwing it to the wall rather using
adhesives. I saw today that B&Q do a range of mirrors pre-drilled for that
very purpose.

The back of a mirror is literally coated in silvered paint, so adhesives
have a tendency to make this peel off after a time, which is not the best
thing to happen with a piece of glass that size. Even glues that say they
are intended for mirrors do the same, especially in a room which has high
moisture content in the air and can create condensation on the back of
mirror if not sealed properly.

Have you had a look at polished chrome or acrylic mirrors ? They would be
ideal for this situation.
