    Just recently did up our main bathroom. Purchased a large mirror for over the sink (4 ft by 5ft). All of the bathroom walls are tiled. What are my best options? To use a special glue or are there any brackets that'll hold it? Think it would look nicer if it was on some kind of brackets- help please!

    You can get special Chrome Brackets for Holding Mirrors on Walls. 4 is generally enough although you might need 6 on a mirror that big. Wherever you bought the Mirror should have them in stock.
    Do a search for Mirror Brackets images and you'll see what's available.

    There is mirror/glass adhesive squidual not sure correct spelling.
    But you use a caulk gun to apply, if you use tec7 or stuff like that it corrodes the back of the mirror and eventually shows through.

    I once glued a mirror to a wall using Bostik Black. It Done a fantastic job in sticking it and was there for 10 years or more.
    This Mirror is very large and I'm not so sure I'd be happy fixing it to the Wall using Adhesive only.

    There is special silicon/adhesive for mirrors which won't damage back of mirror.
    My big mirror 8X4 is built onto/into tiles for support.
    You will need brackets or something for support.
    Or drill mirror for screws, not a DIY job.
