![]() 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 For email, use |

With many thanks, James For email, use Any glass merchant should be able to supply this and polish the edges for you. Bevelled might look nice too. How about an anti-condensation heater to stop it misting up. Not sure if you can buy these but an interesting DIY project. Bob |

Do you follow them into the bathroom or is it a one of those mirrors that allows you to observe them from the bedroom? -- Adam |

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. http://www.bayplastics.co.uk/Product...ass-mirror.htm http://www.buyersguide.co.uk/profile...ent/page2.html |

With many thanks, James For email, use Flabeg make kits for hanging mirrors invisibly in a way that makes them removeable. These consist of metal plates which can be screwed on the wall with matching attachments for glueing to the back of the mirror. However you do it, you will need to check that the wall is adequately flat - a lot of walls are remarkably uneven! |
