Is there a way to cover my entire bedroom wall with mirrors without causing damage?

Question

The walls are basic drywall. Is there any way to cover an entire wall without causing too much damage when the mirrors are removed? I plan to make one of the bedrooms my workout room.

Answer 1

Two sided sticky tape can be used. I have done this with small square mirrors and have gotten away with very little damage. I guess it mostly depends on how heavy the mirrors are with how much tape will safely hold them in place.

Answer 2

I am glad you said not too much damage, because there has to be something that must be patched or screw holes to fill , so anyway here's what I would do depending on the thickness of your glass....... If your glass is 1/4 inch or less, glue them, support with 6'-2x2 or 2x4, for 24 Hours. pull yor braces and you are finished.
When it's time to remove the glass mirrors use the hot wire technique. Now you will have quite a few adheasive spots, but you can float out the walls with dry wall mud, or you can hire it out. I would estimate the job as follows: 1.Float out 4 walls w/dry wall mud to lose glue spots.$60.00 2. Repaint 4-walls $50.00
Total including all materials&labor. $110.00
If your mirrors are are thicker than 1/4" you should glue and screws so you don't have as much glue to deal with since you are going to remove the mirrors( when gluing 1/4" or thicker mirrors, you need to cover at least 30% of the backing w/glue unless you are going to anchor them also, in which case you may use much less adheasive , but the anchor divits will be easier to float out , than having to bring the the walls out in mud. When it comes time to pull the glass your repair costs will run something like this:float out walls to cover existing adheasive spots, fill & conceal all holes in walls$50.00 repaint 4 walls$35.00 Total $$85.00 Six of one 1/2 doz. of the other, the second estimate is much easier to do, and you could probally do your self. NOTE: Using the 2nd application you will have the expence of the dry wall anchors, so now your looking at basically $110.00 either way. Hey, how come you can't just leave the glass, is it a Rental ? Just courious. Good Luck.
OK, OK, here's one last way to prevent 95%maybe higher worth of damage. They make mirrored plastic that is very light, it's so light that that 1 clip per corner will hold them, no problem. After removal your looking at 4 small holes per sheet, and the holes would be small enough to hide with a little (toothpaste), or whatever. Worst comes to worse match the paint, buy a quart and feather it in, good as new!

Answer 3

Tape can cause extensive damage to paint/drywall.

You can get large stand alone mirrors but they are expensive...

But the mirrors can go with you... but if you're thinking those mirror tiles be prepared to refinish wall before leaving and/ or having some mirrors came tinkling down(okay come down and then tinkle- you too as it narrowly misses your- whatever)

And the new owner/renter/special friend may like it with mirrors...

Low cost option... do without. Sorry.

Answer 4

flow to the wall paper dept. of your fashionable save. They promote paintable wall paper, with many diverse textures mutually with stucco, swirls, plaster seem etc. As for mirrors attempt 2 sided tape placed a strip or sqare on each nook and also contained in the middle back of the reflect. this is not as a lot artwork to sparkling the wall in case you desirous to take down the reflect some day!

Answer 5

Probably not. You have to secure the mirrors to something. You'll either have to nail/screw in something, or glue. Either way, it'll damage the walls.

Answer 6

Yes, go to a wall covering place, like standard brands or home depot. They will help you decide the best way to do it. good luck.

Answer 7

You might want a perfessional to do that

Call up at Home Depot near you and ask them if someone can do that for you. I'm sure that they would.
