Step 2 -
Layout Planning
•
Determine the location of the
mirror demister, marking its
intended position of the on
the wall.
•
Also mark the demister power
cable position on the wall.
•
The demister must not be
cut, shortened, punctured or
creased, however the supply
cable may be shortened if
required.
•
If the mirror is going to be
mounted within a rigid (metal/
wood/moulded resin) frame it
should be able to expand and
contract independently of the
frame.
Before you begin
•
If the mirror is mounted
within the plane of the tiles,
ensure that it is surrounded
with a minimum 3 mm bead
of silicone to allow for mirror
expansion and contraction
when heating.
•
If fixing the mirror to the wall
using adhesive or screws
ensure flexible fittings are
used, either in the form of a
flexible mirror adhesive or
flexible bushings in the fixing
holes if screwed to the wall.
NOTE:
If using adhesive to
mount the mirror to the wall
ensure that it is suitable for use
with heated mirror demisters.
Please contact mirror adhesive
manufacturer for guidance.
NOTE:
Take care not to
screw through the demister
if mounting the mirror with
screws.
