Mirrored panelled wardrobe doors

[Tierney]

Hi All,

I am building some wardrobe doors from Poplar/Tulipwood approx 2200 x 500mm. Each door
Will have four panels. The doors will be painted. The rails and stiles are 80mm by 20mm stock (3" by 3/4"). I want to use mirrors for the panels and was wondering if anyone had experience of doing this? I was thinking of using 4mm mirrored glass and 5mm ply to give a panel 9mm thick and so that I could paint the back.

Any advice would be gratefully received.

Regards,

DT

We've done it a few times, we usually do 4mm with a 3mm mdf back beaded in.

Make sure you use safety backed mirror

I've found using standard mirror and laminating the back with Fablon can work out much cheaper and as effective.
