Large Mirrors

geeza · 5 Jul 2006 at 15:17

I want a large mirror for my room, not bothered what its made of, as long as it reflects me in it!

Must be 5 foot or over in height by about 6foot wide. can be small but i just need to reflect myself.

I dont want it to be too expensive

SIX FEET WIDE????

You'll struggle to get anything like that size. I have wardrobes down one side of my room that are about that, but a single mirror would be very, very expensive for that size.

Check out you local high street, there are many mirror dealers around.

LOL, are you the Hulk or something?

Your generic ***** bits 'n' bobs shops generally have dirt cheap mirrors, if not then Argos is probably a good bet.

Must be 5ft x 6ft but can be small?

How does that work? :confused:

Why so wide? Wanna watch yourself doing the horizontal mambo?

Maybe he means they can be tiled.

Probably best off going direct to a glazing supplier for something that big.

geeza · 5 Jul 2006 at 15:32

sorry, i didnt mean 5feet in depth!! Nah i'll be using it for practicing spinning (poi, not genilalia!)

needs to be big so i can see myself, the sort of thing gyms have on their wall, or even them crappy plastic flex mirrors will do

quite good but around £180 is quite expensive

Hmm what about these:

http://www.mirrorstoday.co.uk/largemirrortile.htm

30x30cm, 4 tiles for £19.50.

For 5' x 6' would need ~30 tiles which would be £146..still expensive though!

Is it so you can smile at your self when your willy wobbles in it when your naked?

Red and White · 5 Jul 2006 at 15:46

wilkinsons is better for mirrors than argos, if you've got a branch near you.

It would probably be pretty heavy too when it comes to lifting and hanging, and a bugger to manoeuver, especially if the room is upstairs.

Maybe several tall but thin mirrors??

yeh, the other day i tried moving one (me and my landlord) into the back of his shogun. it was about 5foot wide by 4foot high. I got under it and needed to tilt it to get it in the boot, but it split in half with me under it instead. I bricked it because it could have chopped me in 2 :eek:

maybe 3 or 4 long tall mirrors. Im sure you can get that reflective plastic crap from somewhere thats dirt cheap. you know, the stuff you can peal off at the corners

Kitchen foil plus sticky-back plastic, then iron it onto a large piece of cardboard for Blue-peter/ghetto large mirror
