Mirrored glass metro levelled tiles, cutting and fixing??

[Old Mod]

Quickest way might be to speak to tile manufacturer and get them to tell you exactly what the backing is made of, then take that info to your chosen adhesive manufacturer and ask them to approve your choice and hopefully email you to confirm it. (Blame it on client)
If you can’t achive this on speaking with them, test it yourself.

Fitted the mirror tiles today.

So for cutting, siri snap cutter worked a treat but wet cutter finish wasn't up to scratch, thankfully the cuts will be begin the sockets!!

In terms of adhesive rather than take the risk with a s2, I used 6 tubes of this stuff

The tile size was 7.5mmx20mm so I blobbed 2 dollop of the silicon on the back which squashed to probably 75% coverage when bedded in.

I feel like a bit of a cowboy tbh, but I didn't want a phone call down the line saying there's been a reaction between s2 and the backing.

I just wondered if anyone had any thoughts on how strong the bond will be? The reviews on screwfix say it's super strong and pulled the plaster off. It's designed for hanging massive mirrors at 100mm centre 10mm beads.

I've left it overnight to set, using kerakoll grout tomorrow as I've been advised it's one of the smoothest so less likely to scratch.

Thanks for this, will deffo bear in mind if I come across it again.

In this instance the customer had purchased the tiles from eBay!!!! So was struggling to find any sort of answers regarding the above. I had to make a start on the job today, hence why I went down the mirror adhesive route. Just wanted to let you know I hadn't ignored your answer/input, it was much appreciated.

Seen many a problem with the backs of mirror tiles reacting with cement based adhesive. I personally would advise using low modulus silicone or epoxy. But you really need the check the suppliers or manufacturers recommendation.
