Mirror Tiles or alternative?

Kimberley

I'm currently building my own shower. At the moment i just have a bath with two rows of white tiles. I'm planning to tile the whole surrounding walls with tiles and then erect a shower holder drilled to the tiles to hold my current shower hose and then a shower a screen to the bath.

What i want preferably is mirror tiles to make my small bathroom look bigger, but i know this will be costly. So i'm asking if you know of an alternative or where i could get cheap mirror tiles in bulk at a reduced cost.

:beer:

Why dont you just a have one or more large mirrors,much nicer and will be cheaper,go to you local glazeing company and ask for a quote,you can screw them to the wall or use a glazeing silicone to stick them.
If you use small mirror tiles,you will have to get the near perfectly level,or the will show any lumps/bumps.IMO

Yeah but with a shower don't you have to have the complete wall covered? If i use a few large mirrors then i'll have gaps in the wall which will get wet during a shower wouldn't it?

At my old address i built my own shower with plain white tiles all over the walls near the bath. I want a shower because with me and 3 kids i use a lot of water with baths, but with a shower I could use much less...

you could try using roll mirror available on ebay for 8.99 a roll you would probably have to put it on and seal it around the edges with silicon ot something similar

I'll have a look

The roll mirror looks great, but is it ok near a shower where it will always get wet during showering?

I think what plumb1 meant is a mirror that covers each wall - cut to size by the glazier - and sealed with silicon along the corners?

Well i bought 3 rolls of that Mirror on a roll for the shower wall. I now have to find a good water proof seal to put around the edges. Any ideas?
