Mirror is not yet installed, but after weighting it all up, we did decide to tile behind. There were a few reasons for this - one of them being the fact that we have a window that is hard up against the corner of where this mirror would have to go, so it was all a bit tricky as to how that might work (mirror would have to be slightly cut around at the base to to fit around the window frame - or leave a narrow gap that wouldn't be/couldn't be tiled - and I wasn't sure how that would all finish up). Secondly, and the main reason for our decision, was that this particular area in question forms part of the wall that is shared with my son's bedroom that I have been obsessing over in terms of insulating as best as possible to reduce the previous noise travelling between the two rooms. So tiling, and then putting the mirror on top gave me greater peace of mind that we have that extra sealed layer of 'sound barrier'. Mirror on top. We will make sure it is a mirror with a nice 'finished' edge. Under other circumstances, I probably would have gone recessed. KGsGirl Pick whichever look you prefer as you are the one who has to look at it every day! I hadn't seen enough of either to know which look I preferred - or to know if there was a general 'trend' in the way things are done. Hence why I asked. robbie55 Polished edge not beveled edge mirrors are more contemporary. If you choose a good mob to supply and install your mirror, they will ensure the fit is right both on terms of size and depth. Getting it wrong though just looks like you've tried to save yourself some tiles. The space around the mirror needs to the same as the grout and the mirror depth match the tiles exactly for it to really work. We will get a straight edge (polished edge??) - not bevilled edge mirror. And not that it matters as much now that we are not having it recessed but we were going to use a 'good mob' to measure and fit the mirror and the shower screen. Might research less expensive options now that the mirror fit doesn't have to be as crucial. HHCIB Thank you @.
