Hi folks,
I'm wondering if anyone has experience of fitting a large mirror in a bathroom (1400 x 800 mm). We've priced them at €120 and €160 from 2 glass makers. (As an aside, anyone know if this is the going rate?).
The 2 people we have priced them from have both suggested very different ways of fitting a mirror:
1) Use adhesive. From what we can find out, this stuff is permanent and once the mirror is up, it is never coming down. Also, you have to support the mirror in some way for up to 24 hours until the adhesive sets.
2) Drill the mirror. The manufacturer would do this but he stressed the danger of you breaking the mirror while fixing it with screws. He also mentioned it is a bit out of date.
3) Small clips/clamps that are fixed to the wall and the mirror sits into these. I haven't seen these done. Are they secure? Would a slight knock against the mirror cause a big pile of broken glass and loads of years of bad luck?
Cheers, any help or other suggestions would be great...
