How did you fix the mirror steel sheets?

7 years ago

Hi,

I wonder if you can tell me how you fixed the Steele sheets, I would like to use this idea to cover up an ugly garage at the end of my garden. What grade of mirror Steele did you use?

Thanks

Hi Kara,

They were screwed into place. Screw heads had V small smart steel covers. We used marine grade.

Best of luck with your project!

You have a fairly small bathroom, which is why the tiles have been kept neutral and light. What's missing is some items that will pop. You could spring for a nicer sink arrangement. The cabinet around a pedestal was never a good look. Is there enough room between the bath and the opposite wall to turn the sink and move it towards the toilet to give you more worktop space and storage at the end of the bath? If not, keep the sink where it is, but use a vanity to look more fitted. The bath can be altered to provide more storage. Although this image shows open storage, you could have a panel front created with a drop down panel on a push fitting http://www.dovcorbathrooms.co.uk/blog/view/a-great-bath-storage-idea Changing the radiator to a heated towel ladder you will be able to hang colourful towels. Put up a hand towel bar or ring above the right hand side of the sink. Get rid of the toilet roll stand and hang the roll from a holder that matches the hand towel rail. Store extra rolls under the sink. Paint the long wall in one of the colours in the border tile, perhaps a richer beige. An interesting large mirror would visually widen the room. Alternatively, try a pale blue wall colour and richer mid blue towels mixed with brown towels. (this photo shows how sophisticated blue, brown and beige can be) [https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/sioux-falls-residence-contemporary-living-room-minneapolis-phvw-vp~15685118[(https://www.houzz.co.uk/photos/sioux-falls-residence-contemporary-living-room-minneapolis-phvw-vp~15685118) There doesn't appear to be any lighting other than overhead. A light over the sink area would vastly improve that corner. The floor does nothing for the room. Why not choose a vinyl floor from Amtico or Karndean in a dark wood board effect? The tiles in your bathroom can be skimmed over by a professional fitter and the new floor laid directly on top. It would also be warmer underfoot. http://www.karndean.com/en-gb/floors/explore-by-room/bathroom.

Just one thing that has come to mind, wood can expand and contract slightly so possibly better of bonding some metal flat bar (30mm or 40mm wide, you can get it in b&q) then the wooden frame onto that If you know a local metal fabrication place the could make you a frame from steel angle, mine is u section along the top for hanging and angle along the sides and bottom, I’d say you’d be fine with just the flat bar option above then the wood :-)

Thanks, all. I ended up showing the father of the business owner, who is an employee, for 30+ minutes. I really fought my corner and they correct most of the mistakes and reinstalled the kitchen vinyl. Throughout, the tradesperson was extremely rude and condescending to me. I sent my husband to the house this morning to let the tradespeople in to complete the work in the kitchen. Apparently, they explained their work in detail to him and treated him with respect. I went over when they had finished their job and was met with such disrespect. "We explained to your husband what we did. If you are not happy with it, he can get clear silicone and seal the vinyl." "I am sure he has reported back to you. Are you happy now? Are you sure? Really?" I could you let it go at this point. In my home country, I'd report them to the chamber of commerce for such behaviour, which is clearly based on sexism. I've done some research but it is not clear to me if I can report the company. Would any of you know, or would you pursue this? Thank you again for your help! 🙏
