Features of mirrors for a bathroom
You probably noticed that the bathroom mirror always costs an order of magnitude more than the usual mirror for dry rooms. This is because it has a special waterproof layer on the back surface besides silvering. Without it, an ordinary mirror will not last long: the temperature drops and humidity will quickly disable it.
Determine that the quality of the back surface of the mirror is decent, you can by the shade: if the silver base has a bluish or greenish color, this means that the mirror is really intended for the bathroom. The purple same rear wall indicates that the coating is not water resistant and in a humid environment such a mirror is undesirable to use.
In addition, choosing a mirror in the bathroom, you need to pay attention to such aspects as:
- smooth back surface;
- weight (the more, the better);
- accuracy of reflection (without distortion);
- absence of manufacturing defects (bubbles, scratches, lumens, chips);
- if the mirror is illuminated, it must be sealed (waterproof).
It will not be superfluous to have a certificate and other documents that would confirm the quality of the product. Without them, the manufacturer's compliance with standards and norms can not be guaranteed.
