Before commencing work it is important that the area is flat and free from such things as grease, loose paint or plaster, and dirt. Clean the area thoroughly with a mild detergent or sugar soap and dry completely. The area can also be 'keyed' with abrasive paper (80-120 grit) and sealed with PVA or a primer / sealer.
We suggest removing any electrical socket front covers prior to installation. This must be done by a qualified electrician and for the power to be switched off during the installation process. Allowances may have to be made for things such as fridges or freezers. Your electrician can advise on this.
Ensure you have enough working space to lay out all the acrylic panels. This must be a sturdy, clean surface with some protection such as cardboard, sheets or carpet. Although quite hard, the acrylic panels are still subject to scratches or chips from small impacts or knocks so must be handled with care.
IMPORTANT
THE CORRECT LOW MODULUS ADHESIVE MUST BE USED TO AVOID DAMAGE TO THE ACRYLIC BACKING. GLUES SUCH AS NO NAILS OR THOSE CONTAINING SOLVENTS WILL DEGRADE THE REAR OF THE MIRROR
DO NOT PLACE AN ACRYLIC MIRROR NEAR A HEAT SOURCE SUCH AS A HOB OR OVEN. IT WILL RIPPLE AND COULD EVEN MELT
You are now ready to install your acrylic mirror. We recommend 2 people for this task.
