Miami Beach Condo Project

Installing Mirrors for the Bar Video

Eddie Lambert of Coconut Grove Glass installs the mirror panels that will serve as the back and side walls for the built-in bar in the Miami condo. He first applies Miro Mastic, an adhesive created specifically for mirrors, that will not bleed through or damage the silvering on the mirror. With the larger pieces across the back, Lamber applies the mastic directly to the wall. For the small side pieces that will brace the glass shelf that sits on top, Lambert applies the mastic to the back of the mirror. Using suction cup handles, Lambert puts the pieces in place, then applies pressure while they set. The glass shelves are sandwiched between two pieces of mirror affixed to the wall, so there are no fasteners to break the illusion of enlarged space created by the mirrors. Lambert is able to apply the mirror sections directly on top of the backsplash because Formica is a relatively soft material. If it were tile, a shim would be used to act as a cushion.
