Fixing mirror to plasterboard and framing

[marsaday]

Enclosed is a pic of my bathroom where i will have a wooden cabinet taking the sink bowl (next to bath).

On this wall i want to tile in travertine, but also include a built in mirror. I intend to frame the mirror with the travertine edging.

How do i fix the mirror to the wall. I can hit some studs on the right side, but will probably have to use plasterboard screws for the left side.

any tips and what to do here ?

One way of doing it is to use mirror adhesive pads but I can’t see these sticking to raw plasterboard that well so you would need to fix something as a backer. Probably better is to use a mirror adhesive;

Don’t use ordinary silicone or other non specific adhesive, it can attack the silvering on the back of the mirror.

Clips (which I personally have) but you will see the edges;

If i use a travertine raised border and i grout the edge maybe the clips will be hidden.
