Custom-sized floor to ceiling mirror, where to get in Dublin?

I need a 220 x 65cm floor-to-ceiling frameless mirror (basically just the glass), where could I get this?

Also I take it fitting it myself is a doddle?

Any idea what the trading name of the place is? Google searches aren't proving fruitful

For a spin across the M50 Kish sells whole sale and to the trade more than likely supplying your glazer

I've seen these both glued to a wall and attached with 6 bolts. Any advantage to either method?

I suppose bolts might be better in case the wall has slight imperceptible bend/bumps (or indeed to remove the mirror without too much hassle)

Cheaper in Rosemount, guaranteed.

International Glass Company, directly across the road from the Shamrock pub.

Nice, cheers

Just to update, I've finally gotten around to getting the mirror ordered!

I purchased the mirror corners mentioned above...



QUESTION: The screws that came with the mirror corners were flat-head screwdriver screws approx 1cm long. So that would be 2 such screws per corner.

Is that sufficient to hold up a 20kg mirror on a plaster wall?

I would have thought surely you need wall plug and long screws for a weight like that?

Regency Glass in fairview, they always do good work for us

huh? I already ordered the mirror

Suggest you get something like sellotape sticky pads and put them on the back of the mirror. This is not to hold the mirror, in fact I suggest you leave the seal on the wall side, but when you use those fitments there tends to be a tiny gap at the back of the mirror and if someone fell against it the flex of the mirror might smash it and injure someone.

thanks, I actually just ended up using my own wall plugs and 2-inch screws to hold it up. It's flush with the wall so looks good.

Incidentally just wanted to thank whoever suggested First Glass, the price was right and any issues I had were dealt with swiftly.
