"Yes, it is possible to install mirror walls and mirror tiles in a bathroom or shower area. Still, it's not something we would recommend, as moisture will eventually destroy the mirror's edges and backing.
They will look fine for 5-7 years maximum.

"Yes but I do not recommend
Standard mirror tiles may not hold up well in a damp, high-moisture environment like a shower. You should use mirror tiles that are specifically designed for wet areas."

"Yes, it is possible to fit mirrored tiles in a shower, but there are a few important considerations to ensure it is done safely and effectively:

Key Considerations:
Moisture Resistance:

Ensure the mirrored tiles are specifically designed for wet areas. Regular mirrored tiles may not withstand the constant exposure to moisture and could deteriorate over time.
Proper Adhesive and Grout:

Use a waterproof, mold-resistant adhesive and grout suitable for bathrooms. This will ensure the tiles remain securely fixed and resistant to water damage.
Safety Glass Coating:

Opt for mirrored tiles with a safety backing to prevent shattering. This is especially important in a shower area where accidental impacts can occur.
Cleaning and Maintenance:

Mirrored surfaces in showers can be prone to water spots and streaks. Ensure they are easy to clean and maintain, using non-abrasive cleaning products.
Ventilation:

Proper ventilation is crucial to reduce steam buildup, which can affect the adhesive and the reflective coating over time.
Professional Installation:

Due to the challenges of cutting and fitting mirrored tiles in a wet environment, hiring an experienced professional is highly recommended for a flawless and safe installation.
While mirrored tiles can create a luxurious and spacious look, it’s vital to ensure they are suitable for use in showers and are installed correctly to avoid future issues. Would you like advice on selecting the right materials or help finding a professional for the job?"
