Hanging a heavy(ish) mirror above fireplace
I'm open to suggestions on this, i've got a mirror, probably about
25lbs in weight, and need to mount it above the fireplace. This house is only about 20 years old, so i'm wary that the in-wall chimney will be quite shallow centrally, so might be a bit of an issue trying to mount it via a single fixing and very strong wire :-} The mirror has two large triangular hooks / fixing points already mounted, but i'm also wary that they won't allow any "tweaking" to get it straight if either of the holes happen to a bit off... What sort of fixing method would you suggest please ? ....and if I use the existing fixing points, would you suggest normal countersunk screws and dangle the hooks over them, or what ? I did use a central fixing with something like a 3" no.12 screw on a picture of a similar weight in my old house which worked well, but again, this is on a "modern" flush chimney breast so perhaps not quite so advisable... |
