I would like to cover a bathroom wall with mirror instead of tiles. Advise?
Answers:
Don't reccomend it, as they will be very difficult to keep clean. Best to use bright colors on the walls, and an off white ceiling with a sky blue tint in it. This will make the ceiling seem higher. Have mirrors on two of the walls so that they reflect off of each other to help it look larger. Doing an entire wall in mirrors, especially in a bathroom, would be something that you regret. Relatives have mirrored tiles on one wall of their bathroom and they hate them; they show smudges, and marks from drops of water.
If you are putting in a new tub or shower, consider having the wall between it and the rest of the bathroom made out of glass bricks.
Use bright lighting, both from the ceiling and on the walls.

Yes it's a great idea, but you could even try making it in the way of mosaic tiles. Ask the local dealer for better suggestions on the type.

Mirror tiles with adhesive backing were popular a few yrs ago. Maybe you can still get them form one of the big home improvement stores.
u can buy mirrored tiles but it is very expensive as far as cutting- the edges of a mirrored tile must b seamed (ground on edge to dull and round off) in order to use either way b prepared to spend alot of money
Yes. First, find the mirror without any frame with the size of the tile. Then, place the pieces of the tile like mirror onto the wall. When taking bath, you will find that you are so sexy.
There are one-foot square mirror-tiles commonly available. In England they have four-inch square mirror-tiles. Eithert one can be installed with double-stick tape or a more permanent solution, like construction adhesive (in a caulking tube) or even set like regular tile with mastic.
I do not suggest using mirror tile...if you use the bathroom for a shower, in short time the edges will begin to turn black for corrosion. IF you want to mirror the bath, do it in 1/4" plate glass. Would suggest pro install . good luck
Mirrors can be cut to size and installed by professionals .I would recommend fitting electric heat mats on the wall directly behind the mirror in order to keep it from steaming up.
As they never heat to above 30 Celcius they are safe and wont damage the glass.
If you have a small bathroom i don't think you will wan to waste a whole wall with mirrors. And just think you will have to wipe them down all the time. Instead of a vanity, get a pedestal sink. And use a flat mirror instead of a medicine cabinet protruding out of the wall.
