Any gotchas about fixing full length bathroom mirrors you care to share?


Walls that aren't flat.

Only tighten the fixing screws enough to hold the mirror in place and
stop it moving. DAMHIKT. Perhaps put a sheet of something 'squashable'
(like that thin foam sheet used for packaging delicate goods) behind
the mirror before you put it up on the wall, to stop it actually
moving about or rattling, but whatever you do, don't over-tighten the
screws.

I used clear washers if the mirror had to be stood off the wall at edges
and Blu Tack dot-and-dab style if there were hollows in the wall (for
fear of someone leaning hard against the mirror). Hadn't thought of foam.
