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.

Â*Or bubble wrap, instead of foam (the type with small bubbles).
Â*For a heavy mirror, either fix a temporary batten to the wall at
the bottom, or use something like a heavy pile of books to make a
platform right up against the wall. Get it level. Have someone hold
the mirror firmly against the wall while you mark up the holes. Keep
the platform in place at least until you have got the top two screws
inserted far enough to take the weight.

Bollox to that. Use a batten to get it level and use *mirror glue* to
hold it in place.

No worries abput screws.

Big worry about other people deciding it is in the wrong place:-(


That may seem like a big worry but compare it with "the mirror's perfect
but it shows the bath's in the wrong place".



Wrongly placed bath is bad news but nowhere near as bad as a
'wrongly located' bog, which 'needs' to go on the opposite wall
from where the foul stack is.
