sure theres a few inset mirrors in the gallerys, couldn't put my finger on one though

If you fit a demister thingy on you mirror if has to be 'leckied' up to an isolator switch and /or your lighting circuit. Don't know the current regs I'm afraid

We've done them so there is just a gap ready to accept a mirror in the tiling.

We've also done full width mirrors on the wall....

And we've done them so that they just hang off the tiles

Mirrors in bathrooms are very important! Lots of choices.

My preference is the first mirror above but with no borders or detail. Keep it plain

I'v fitted plenty of them,
last monday i fitted one in a trav bathroom i tiled.
I surrounded it with a lovely trav dado rail type mould mitred corners etc.
I usually leave the gap to suit the surrounding tiles and a rough mirror size with the customer.

Ps. always use propper mirror adhesive to stick it on with as silicon can eat away the paint on the back of the mirror.

I've done loads of these, If it doesn't work out for full tiles you are best to put a raised border around the mirror

Hi,

The mirror is thinner than the tile any tips on building it out?
What's best for holding the mosaic border in place tape?

Cheers
Paul

Hi,

If I build the wall out with rapid addy would the mirror adhesive take to it?
Cheers
