Mirrored stove backsplash

ibesushi | Posted in General Discussion on

I’m planning on putting a mirror behind my 30″ gas stove as a backsplash.
Are there any safety issues with heat or breakage?
Should I use tempered or non-tempered glass?

    Are you a share holder for a glass cleaning product?

    And I thought black was bad.

    We had a typical 1/4" glass mirror behind our gas range for years. It cleans easily and I don't think there was ever enough heat to hardly warm it up. Go for it! (Been reading up on feng shui, I bet?)
