Lattice Window Full Length Mirror 180 x 90cm

A fine grid needs glass to spread across. At 150 x 60cm the lattice can feel busy in a small room, which is why the compact Lattice Window is a hallway and landing mirror. At 180 x 90cm the same pattern has 1.62 square metres to work with, the panes are the same size but there are more of them, and the frame reads as a window rather than a screen. This is the Lattice Window full length mirror for a dining room, where candlelight in a grid of small panes is one of the better effects a mirror can give, for a living room wall opposite a real window, and for a bedroom over 3m long with plain walls. On a patterned wall any lattice fights the paper; buy the plain Window Pane 180 x 90cm at the same price, or the Gentle Arch with no bars at all.

Hung with its bottom edge 20cm off the floor, a 180cm mirror has its glass topping out at 200cm, and a flat mirror shows a person at half their height, so anyone up to about 205cm sees themselves head to toe; the average British man is 175.0cm and the average woman 161.3cm, so this is more height than any household needs and the extra is bought for the wall. Ninety centimetres shows a person with an outfit held up, or two people side-on. Leant at seven degrees in a dressing room it shows anyone from a pace back and the tilt lifts the view. Behind the bars the glass is one continuous sheet, so what you see is yourself through a grid, not a jigsaw of small mirrors.

Float glass weighs 2.5kg per square metre per millimetre, so the sheet is 16.2kg and the welded frame, its bars and the backing are the other 11.7kg. At 27.9kg this mirror is above the line where our fixing rule for plasterboard becomes timber or masonry and never board alone: two nylon plugs and screws rated above the weight into brick or block, wood screws into two timber studs, or a batten screwed across two studs where the stud spacing does not match the two hanging points already fitted to the back. Dot-and-dab wants long frame fixings through the board and the cavity into the masonry. No cavity anchors.

The lattice is unforgiving of a lean. A plain mirror hides half a degree; a grid of small panes shows it in every horizontal bar. Mark both fixing points with a level, hang with two people lifting from the outer frame and never the bars, hook both points on before anyone lets go, and check the top bar with the level before you tighten. The hanging guide covers each wall type, and the full length wall mirror page has the weight-to-fixing tables. Leaning is for a dressing room or living room with felt pads under the base and an anti-tip strap or screw eye and cable at the top fitted on day one; the slim frame has little footprint and a knocked window mirror goes rather than wobbles, so halls are for hanging.

A black lattice mirror of 1.62 square metres reads as a leaded window in a dark frame: on white, pale grey or sage walls it adds a window's worth of light and architecture, and black hides the fingerprints a frame with this many edges collects. A gold lattice mirror in satin champagne-brass is the decorative version, a gilded screen rather than a window, warming navy, sage and cream rooms and drifting to warm silver on pure white; in a dining room with brass candlesticks it is the one. Same welded steel, same powder coat, same £299.95. The two-tone black frame with gold bars is made at 180 x 105cm. The black full length mirror and gold full length mirror pages make each case, and the window mirror page has all 14 window designs and sizes.

More panes than any other mirror here except the 200cm lattices, so budget a few minutes rather than one. A dry microfibre cloth lifts dust from glass and bars; for marks, a cloth dampened with glass cleaner and folded over a finger does each pane on its own. Spraying the whole face pools liquid at the bar edges and runs it into the join where the backing lives, which is how edge spotting starts. Nothing abrasive on the powder coat; a touch-up pen for a scratch through it. The cleaning guide has the streak-free method.
