Great tip on doing the circle with the silicone on the back of the mirror. I’ve enjoyed watching your full build here, and taking some tips along the way for my Reno with our home. Cheers 👍
For those curious about the silicon directly onto the mirror, the mirrors used had a vinyl backing to protect the mirror silvering from moisture (the white coating seen on it) it's an Australian Standards requirement that mirrors be either fully adhered to the wall or have a vinyl backing and be protected by a vanity or bench with a minimum height of 760mm and depth of 300mm, the vinyl backing keeps the mirror from shattering into a thousand pieces if it's accidently broken. Also having the vinyl backing also negates having to use non acidic based silicon as the vinyl acts as a barrier between the mirror silvering, plus vertical lines are better to any moisture that gets behind the mirror simply runs down the wall. It's also a good idea to leave the support blocks under any mirror for 24 hours until the silicon has cured as a safety. it's also a good idea to place a small piece of double sided tape to the blocks so they cant accidently slide out while the silicon dries and the mirror slides down the wall (I have seen this happen on a few jobs).
This is pretty much what I was looking for with regards to the circles I heard of before. Thank you for the upload. I have to do something similar soon. Though the double sided I found designed for this purpose seems too thick, in that it would force the mirror to float out too far away from the wall. Is that the go or do we need a thinner double sided? Just wondering about your opinion on thickness. I couldn't quite see how thick the one you used is in your video.
Have seriously enjoyed this series and how in depth you go. Curious on what inspiration you and your wife used for the exterior and interior design, Hamptons?

Thanks Shane, hope your renos are coming along as nicely as well.
Came up a treat. The painters were good.
Cheers mate

Thanks mate. No the paint selections were based on choosing something very light as darker colours don't go to well with the QLD heat 😁
If you wanted to remove it, how would you do it? heat it up with a hair dryer?
Nice video thanks for sharing tips on mirror mounting. Is that double glazed windows around the door?
Cheers mate, no double glazing, our climent her does not warrant it.
Thickness of mirror?
DiD u sand the back of the mirror
No that's how it comes.
@@OurBuild can’t the circle silicone holes trap moisture and therefore mould.
@@out_on_bail Never in my experience mate.
