Mounting a mirror
 

The mirror is approx 400 x 700mm and is 6mm thick with edge bevels that
reduced this to 3mm.

It has no mounting holes and I don't want to drill any.

I can get mirror corner mounts but these are designed for 6+mm glass,
and conscious the mirror will rattle around in them.

Is there a better way?

You can use double sided tape but you need to be careful
using it because it can be tricky moving the mirror later,

Suitable thickness polyurethane foam behind to pack the mirror out
slightly and make it secure?

Mirror glue works amazingly well

Place a piece of hardboard behind the mirror to make it thicker than
6mm. at the edges (and to keep it flat to the mounting wall

Place a bit of cardboard behind the corners of the mirror so that it is
a tight fit in the fixings. Stick some foam pads behind the corners of
the mirror so that it is a tight fit in the fixings.

Take a hammer to the fixings to make any grooves 3mm.

Put some clear silicone in the fixings before inserting the mirror.
Put some blutack in the fixings to stop the mirror rattling.

Pad the mirror from underneath, and add some around it to support it.
I'm sure I saw some kind of rubber similar to the sort that they use for
beading on windows and doors that had adhesive on one side for this sort of
thing. I guess its the only game in town if your wall hads a bow in the
middle like mine has.

Thanks for the ideas. I suppose I was initially reluctant to use glue
from the permanence and potential damage to the wall and mirror on its
removal.

I felt there is an issue is with the bevel and a potential point contact
with the corner bracket and hoped there would be an alternative method
of mounting.

I found these:

But while they might do the job they are rather expensive, and they look
designed for a faster bevel than the mirror I have.

Thanks for the idea.

I like the idea of the mirror sitting on the wall without a gap behind,
so it can take some pressure without deflection.

In the end I got these and home they can cope with the bevel without too
much too much fettling:

I've used these which work well as the brackets have positive
engagement and keep the mirror close and parallel to the
wall

Many thanks.

I have just purchased alternative brackets that hold the mirror directly
against the wall but will save these details if they don't work out.

I've just realized that Fredx must have killfiled me so my suggestion of

You're not in my killfile. You gave me the idea which I very much
appreciated but as I said I felt it would damage the mirror and wall if
I ever wanted to (re)move it. Otherwise it would have been an ideal
solution.

Many thanks for the idea, but I went for a demountable solution, where
after removal all I would have to do is fill 4 small holes.

Another option is to cut 4 wooden discs & cut out enough room for the mirror corners to go into them. Paint.
