The Manhattan Mirror Co is located not far from the Chadstone shopping centre near the corner of Warrigal and Waverley Rds
Our keen and dedicated glaziers worked late into the night during the recent Chadstone shopping centre renovation.

  Our Stadium -Squircle- Round - oval - pebble - arch and rectangle bathroom mirrors are manufactured in-house at our ChadstoneMelbourne  studio.
 The premium range of theThe Manhattan Mirror Co’s bathroom mirrors are LED ready, by that we mean, you or your electrician can easily wrap the LEDS around the preexisting recessed rebate designed for that purpose.
Most updated Australian bathrooms have an efficient exhaust fan and heat lamp, making heated mirrors unnecessary, 
Many imported bathroom mirrors have a touch switch located on the face of the mirror, this operates the LED lights and heater, this inevitably leads to more cleaning, as finger marks start to accumulate.
LED lighting for bathroom mirrors are best used as a comfort light, operating in conjunction with or separately on a wall mounted switch, no matter what the sales person may say, LED strip lightsare not usefulas a functional light for shaving or putting on makeup.
LED strip lights are only useful as a glare-less soft light, best suited for a late night bathroom visit.

Many people don’t have the luxury of owning an Art Deco house or apartment, however you can placate your lust for all things deco by renovating your bathroom Art Deco style.

Some popular combinations include cream bevelled subway tiles Art Deco border tiles combining a deco inspired pedestal basin, wall lights with an Art Deco feature mirror as a delightful focal point.

In many ways the Arlena Art deco style fan mirror as pictured has been a victim of its own success
Designed by Guy Molloy 1n 1985 it was often used by a local tile manufacturer to help display its range of Art Deco style bathroom tiles, however it was finally discontinued by the company as too many people where inquiring about the mirror instead of their bathroom tiles.

Also strangely enough many customers that are at the end of their Art deco bathroom renovation say things like, oh the mirror looks great, but I don’t want it to distract from the other features in the bathroom.

 INSTALLATION OF BATHROOM MIRRORS
Most bathroom mirrors are adhered to the wall using neutral cure silicone, do not to use acetic curing silicone as it will affect the silver and leach through the mirror giving it a cloudy appearance months later.
Drilling holes in your bathroom wall should be avoided if you can, it is the old-fashioned way of doing things, there is always the potential to drill through a water pipe or electrical wire.
Beware of imported bathroom mirrors with D ring or triangular ring  hanging fixtures, or even worse raised steel brackets with holes for a screw fitting , the steel bracket method leaves little room for error and the tolerance is about 2mm and there’s  a good chance
once you finally line up the screws to the holes you will discover that the screw head has scratched through the silver leaving a noticeable scratch on the back of the mirror
D ring hanging brackets necessitate drilling 2 x holes in the walls and tapping in plastic plugs, hooks are then screwed into the plugs, overseas mirror manufacturers use these methods because they are cheap and nasty.
Having to hang a bathroom mirror to your wall can be annoying and expensive if you are not a handy person, you can add at least $150  to employ an installer, also during routine cleaning  you will have to  listen to the constant unstable banging against the wall.
Bathroom walls usually comprise of a stud frame covered withpainted plaster- dry wall or cement sheeting and usually with a row of splashback tiles behind the vanity, often the whole wall is tiled.
If you are going to flush mount your bathroom mirror to the wall using silicone, use 2 x wooden planks approx 40mm wide by 20mm thick and cut to the desired height,typically 250mm high,rest on the vanity, use masking tape or similar to temporarily hold the supports.
Put the silicone on the back of the mirror using a series of circlesdo not to get too close to the edge, you don’t want unnecessary cleaning, put the base of the mirror on the planks  at an angle and adjust the mirror to its best position before pushing against the wall listening for the air compress out of the silicone circles,this will create a tight vacuum to the wall.
Don’tgo light on the silicone, it’s a mirror!  if in doubt put on a bit more, you can run a bit of masking tape on the top temporarily for extra insurance, leave the wooden supports under the mirror for 2 x days.
When installing bathroom mirrors with LED’S, a French cleat system is the best method of installation, the mirror can easily be lifted off to replace your LED strip when it expires, better if you have also got someone local to call
 If you had the LED’S installed by a local electrician using a French cleat system, he or she  or other can easily lift off  the mirror and replace the LED lights.
THINGS THAT CAN GO WRONG WHEN INSTALLING MIRRORS.
Your tube of silicone is way past its expiry date and fails to cure properly, crash!!
You drill through the tiles and straight into a waterpipe, $$$.
You forgot to clean the dust off the wall so the double -sided tape and silicone fails to adhere properly.You’ll think someone’s trying to break through your bathroom window in the middle of the night.
You drill through a live wire and give yourself a zap!!
You relied on screws only, to support the weight of a heavy mirror on weak crumbling plaster.
You took the supporting planks under the mirror away too soon, and before the silicone has cured properly.
You rested the mirror on the edge of the ceramic tile splashback and glued it to the wall without using setting blocks, discovering later pressure shells or cracks starting to appear on the base of the mirror.
You used plastic tile spacers as setting blocks to rest the mirror on,the mirror simply slipped off.  Use bits of wood or special glazier’s soft plastic setting blocks.
There was an unnoticeable lump or nail in the wall, causing the mirror to tilt over sometime later.
You slid the mirror too much during installation, this caused the double- sided tape behind the mirror to rollover and double up, the outward pressure finally tipping the mirror over one hour later.
You DONKED! the corner of the mirror on the edge of the ceramic splashback during installation. Tape up the edge of the splashback to protect the corners pre installation.
There was a nail or screw protruding from the wall that you didn’t notice, of course you scratched the back of the mirror.  Have a nice day.
You were so excited about your new mirror you decided to use vinegar as a cleaning agent,{ environmentally responsible cleaning agent } you read about it many times on Google, vinegar is mostly acetic acid, great for making old coins look new,
also vinegar is great for making new mirrors look old, the acetic acid in the vinegar will corrode the edges of your mirror especially the bottom,{never ever use vinegar to clean your bathroom mirrors}.
You took the advice of the big hardware retailers YouTube video and fixed your bathroom mirror with double sided tape only, after some time even years later the effects of the moisture in the bathroom and the drying out of the adhesive glue on the tape
can and does cause the adhesion to fail, always back up the double sided tape with non-acetic silicone, use such silicone with modern mirrors only, the paint on the back of antique mirrors often will not tolerate even non-acetic silicone, it will leach through the silver.
Many big brand double sided tape manufacturers use an acidic agent in their adhesive formula, this can leach through the paint and silver backing, use a recommended tape,get advice from your local glass merchant.
Although rare, some types of paint have a wax additive added as an anti-dust measure, also wallpaper in bathrooms that have been moisture-proofed have a problem with silicone adhesion.
TIP FOR CLEANING MIRRORS.
Glass cleaners containing ammonium hydroxide and other harshchemicals can eventually start to corrode the edges of your bathroom mirrors, the present author recommends this formula.
Buy a 1 x litre bottle of methylated spirits , screw on a trigger spray top or use an empty Windex bottle etc, now fill the Metho with about 10% car polish & wax combo, use a well-known brand, give it a good shake and spray your mirrors  using a clean cotton cloth.
You can also use this formula to clean your shower screen and glass doors etc.
