What mirror is suitable for outdoor use?

[Dan2]

Hi all,

I want to put a mirror on the fence at the end of my deck - Is there a particular type of mirror to use if it is going to be outside? 

Thanks,

Dan2

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @Dan2. It's fantastic to have you join us, and many thanks for your question about mirrors suitable for exterior use.
 

You can use any mirror outside, but you should expect it to weather and stain over time. To ensure longevity, you need to seal around the mirror's edge to prevent water from migrating between the glass and the silvered backing. Run Selleys 310g Liquid Nails Mirror Metal And Glass Adhesive around the mirror's perimeter to seal the edge. You can then use the adhesive to glue the mirror to your fence.

We do sell a few purpose-made exterior mirrors, and they would be worth considering for your project.

Please let me know if you have questions.

Mitchell
