A mirror of the extra class for less than 200 euros. With plenty of storage space and optimal lighting for perfect beauty care. The third part of our bathroom series.
Perfect! It only took one day to build the attractive mirror console with the many storage options. As soon as she hung on the wall, the bathroom seemed twice as big as before. A look in the mirror showed, what the concealed mounted Linestra lights (Osram, a 10 Euro) Afford: The reflection is bright, clearly and shadow-free illuminated.
The first step takes you to the glazier (mirrors and glass shelves) and to the hardware store (plywood parts). Who wants to save costs, processed the glass edges (except for the big mirror) even. To do this, staple a 180-grit sanding cloth onto a board and round off the edges of the glass.
The width of the mirror depends on the available space. If you stick to the dimensions of the drawing when building the shelves, comes up 1 m height. The main mirror is only secured by two aluminum angle profiles (for example from Alfer) who held it for about 7 Euro (2,5 m) available at the hardware store. They are screwed into the top and bottom edge of the plywood board.
by the way: The larger the mirror surface is, the larger the room appears. That doesn't make a ballroom out of a small bathroom, but the visual impression can be grandiose.
1 Im ersten Arbeitsschritt wird die Sperrholz-Grundplatte rückseitig mit einem Leistenrahmen aufgedoppelt. Leave some slots for lamp cords.
2 Auf die Frontseite leimen Sie seitlich die Brettchen, between which the glass shelves will clamp. A glass floor ensures the exact distance.
3 Ebenso verfahren Sie bei den Seitenteilen, which will later carry the lighting and the second side of the glass shelves.
4 Jetzt werden die Blenden angeschraubt, between which the Linestra lights are then mounted.
5 Probeweise Blenden und Grundplatte montieren und die Passgenauigkeit mit den eingelegten Glasböden überprüfen.
6 Die Schraubenköpfe mit Lackspachtel abdecken und zweimal lackieren. Mount the lights and screw the whole thing to the base plate.
7 Ziehen Sie auf der oberen, double back a line parallel to the edge and use a forstner bit to drill four holes for hangers to be drilled in (0 30 mm).
8 Unten an die Grundplatte wird ein Aluwinkel geschraubt. For the screw holes (0 3 mm) pre-drill and ream for the countersunk screws.
9 Vor Ort die große Spiegelscheibe in den Winkel einsetzen und oben mit einem zweiten Winkel fixieren. Now mirror the sides and rear walls of the glass shelves with mirror tape.
