View Full Version : Strip Mirrors..

I plan on hanging 4, 8" x 36" strip mirrors behind the rear wall of our jucuzzi. My wife and I are in debate as to how much space we should allow between the 4 mirrors for appearance purposes.

Area is 64" end wall to end wall. I figured on 10" from each end as the starting point, with the 4 mirrors installed inbetween 3" apart. Nice and even.

Does this sound good, or would someone recommend something else. (Less space between mirrors by lenghtning the ends, adding an extra mirror, etc.)

Also, how best to position the mirrors: Exactly centered from top to bottom of wall to jucuzzi, or a little higher.

Thanks!

Richard & Jackie (Miss know it all.)

3" sounds good. Certainly not greater than 4" apart.

I would use 5 - 8" mirrors starting 4" from the end with 4" spacing. You don't want the mirrors too high since they are only 36". If someone were standing, you would want to be seen in the mirror so from the floor to the top of the mirror should be around 72".

Thanks! The extra mirror did the trick. Went with 74" from the floor. Finished project looks great!
