Wall of Mirrors

I want to create a mirror wall on one side of the bathroom. I was looking at Ikea's panel mirrors (4 in a box). Any other supplier suggestions?

    How big is the wall?

    Custom single sheet no joins would look good but seriously expensive.

    DIY chances are it ends up like a fairground attraction.

    A single mirror would look much better.

    I once tried the mirrors from IKEA, but I found using the fittings supplied I couldnt get them square and level - drilling through tile/brick ! I ended up using some mirror adhesive instead which gave a much easier fitment !

    Is it too heavy to go on the ceiling above your bed?

    Kinky Slinky, but not this time.

    Is it a downside?

    That's not that big and should fit through a standard door.

    Plenty of people have windows with bigger sheets of glass than that.

    2mx2m silvered 6mm rough cut(assume you will frame) under £200 delivered.

    something more fancy with bevel edges done and a grey mirror looking around £500


    if you want a template to fit mirror you are looking at measure and fitting costs on top.
