Our glass splashback is held up with some sort of silicone adhesive as
sold by the glazier - so no drilling holes or screws. Is there a
problem with this approach?
Couple of things with it -- first of all, "typical" silicones produce
acetic acid when they cure and they'll damage silvering. There are
mirror-safe mastics around (Screwfix) that avoid this.
Secondly, and this depends on the circumstances, then I'd want some
mounting with a bit of compliance against movement.
It's also a damn nuisance to hang heavy glass by this means !
