WE ESTABLISH MIRROR WALLS

Mirrors can be used not only on direct appointment. By means of a smooth surface it is possible to achieve easily desirable optical effect — space increases that is especially important for small-sized apartments. Besides other such nonconventional use of mirrors will give to your apartment an originality and originality.

On kitchen it is possible to revet with mirrors a surface which usually spread a tile, for example a wall over a sink or a plate. Care of facing from mirrors practically does not differ from care of the surface which has been laid out by a tile. The dirt, a dust and fatty stains easily leave by means of a damp rag. That mirrors shone is better, them wash with a warm solution of vinegar (2 items of a spoon on 1 l of water) or the diluted solution of liquid ammonia (1 item a spoon on 1 l of water).

Before to start to work, DELSAM recommends to define the area of a wall with which it is necessary to revet with mirrors. After that calculate the linear sizes of one mirror, leaving a stock on the general framework for a smooth surface. For example, 600 mm, width of a framework of 70 mm are necessary to revet with mirrors a surface of a wall in length of 1200 mm and height, mirrors will keep within in two ranks. The sizes of one mirror 360х240 the mm, is thus considered that extreme mirrors will be closed by a framework on 10 mm.

After have defined the linear sizes of mirrors, order them in a mirror workshop. It is desirable, that mirrors were with facets then their surface will look. A back surface of each mirror paint over an oil paint is will protect a mirror covering from corrosion. For fastening of mirrors equal panel DSP in the size 1200х600 mm is required to you. That the panel did not absorb a moisture, it is necessary to cover it with drying oil from different directions and to dry.

Mirrors spread out to surfaces of the panel and plan average places of their fastening. The linear sizes of mirrors can differ slightly from each other, therefore after an apportion dry an obverse surface of each mirror mark with soap. A place of a joint of four mirrors fix by means of a special screw with a decorative metal hat which can be made most or to order. A design of such screw, the recommended sizes and a way of fastening to panel DSP.

After on panel DSP apertures under special screws are planned and drilled, flat-nose pliers carefully break off corners at mirrors. At a wraparound in panel DSP screws should not concern with the hats of corners of mirrors, it can lead and to cracks. By means of a decorative metal hat connect four corners of the next mirrors. Screw up in a head of a screw of a hat, they a back surface will press mirrors to panel DSP.

Further start manufacturing of the general framework for a smooth surface. The framework profile can be the diversified, in corners it is more preferable to do connection on a moustache though other ways suit also.

In a mirror framework fasten by means of a framework ledge. The thickness of a mirror, as a rule, does not exceed 6 mm. Proceeding from it, also the sizes of a ledge on a framework are given. After preparatory operations start smooth surface installation on a wall. On installation of mirrors it is more convenient to do all operations together. Panel DSP attach to a wall screws with a secret head. Heads of screws should be completely drowned not to damage a mirror. Correctness of installation of panels check on level.

Nails beat the bottom framework to panel DSP. Before last blow of a hammer a nail hat bite off, that it was not allocated for framework surfaces. Twirl special screws in panel DSP and insert the bottom number of mirrors into a groove formed between panel DSP and the bottom framework. Then screw up decorative hats in screws so that then it was possible to establish the top number of mirrors. One of the working will hold mirrors, and the second — to beat lateral frameworks to panel DSP, nails it is desirable in advance.

Establish the top number of mirrors and cover with a framework so that their top edges were included into a groove between panel DSP and a framework, nail up. Decorative hats screw up to full to mirrors, fingers carefully try density of installation of mirrors. If mirrors are established in grooves leaky, it is possible to insert and drown small wooden linings in grooves.

The smooth surface issued in such a way looks very effectively on the kitchen especially sheathed by a tree, in a bathroom. It is possible to establish a compound mirror in a hall or a hall, having arranged it vertically and having made the elementary figured framework. Certainly, work labour-consuming, demands certain skills and accuracy, but the wall revetted with mirrors, considerably will improve an interior of your apartment.
