I need to fix a mirror to the center of a wall. I am then going to tile around that mirror with some large porcelain tiles.
I want the finished result to be tiles and mirror flush with each other. I have bought some Elch-pro mirror adhesive and this recommends pressing the glass no closer than 4mm to the wall. This gives me a problem as my mirror is 6mm and my tiles are 7mm thick. I am thinking I will probably end up with about 2mm of adhesive on the back of the tiles so I need the mirror to be pressed to 3mm off the wall. Would this be okay?
I am also intending to leave a small gap around the mirror (about 1-2mm) for any expansion and will silicon this after the adhesive goes off to make it water tight (it's on a bathroom wall). The only other thing may be worth mentioning is there will be a small mirror heating element on the back of mirror as well.
Thanks for any assistance.
