Mirror for a bathroom wall?
Kimberley

I want to put up a large Mirror on one wall in the bathroom. Not over the sink as there is already one there, but one to go on a bare wall to make the illusion of making the bathroom bigger :rolleyes:
I don't want it framed, i want just a plain Mirror preferably a lightweight one.
Will it look weird or would it look ok? Also where could i get one which is reasonably cheap.

Go to a Glaziers and order one 6mm Smoothed all around or a dearer 25mm bevlelled edge, then put up with a couple of tubes of low modulus silicone I reccomend tremsil
Dont get high modulus or it will burn the silver on the mirror.0 -
In our last house we had a tiny bathroom with two mirrors running the full length of the bathroom on opposite walls. The effect was fantastic and it made the bathroom look much bigger. You should be able to get a mirror cut to size from a local builders merchant or glazier.

Yeah i guess going to a Glazier is best. I'm not sure on what size to get though, any ideas? I want it big enough to notice when you walk into the room.0

I used 30x30cm mirror tiles from IKEA to cover almost the whole wall:

Word of warning though - I moved into my house a few months ago and the previous owner had glued those small Ikea mirrors all over the bathroom, every wall was covered and the effect was frightening. Every morning in the shower I nearly had heart failure cos the reflections were EVERYWHERE (if you know what I mean)
It was so traumatic that in the end I had to pay someone to come and remove them and redecorate (they were a pain to remove as well and they took all the plasterboard with them when they eventually came down!)
