Having spent the last few weekends transferring our bathrooms's tiles and plaster to a skip and boarding it, I'm happy to hand over to the plasterer on monday and can start thinking about the fitting out.
I want to build some wall cabinets, probably of sycamore, with mirrored doors, but these I've never done before. What I want in at least one case is doors of double sided and frameless mirrors. I have seen some very nice german cabinets (at around the £400 - £600 each mark!!) that have mirrors bonded back to back and are hinged with kitchen cabinet style hinges using a plate bonded to the glass, and I hope to emulate this.
I was wondering if anyone else has any experience of similar construction. I spoke to glazier yesterday who was suggesting 4mm mirror glass with a film backing that prevents splintering. He said that if I could bond them together he would bevel/polish the edges. I'm not sure what to use to join them and have not been able to track down suitable hinges yet so any advice would be appreciated.
I'm also interested in incorporating lighting and any pointers there would be appreciated.
thanks, Colin
