## Issue Description:
- Bathroom mirrors can develop desilvering, where the reflective backing deteriorates, leading to black spots or edges.
- This is primarily caused by prolonged exposure to moisture, humidity, and cleaning chemicals.
- Poor installation, such as direct contact with wet surfaces or improper sealing, accelerates the deterioration process.
- Note these can fixed easily by removing the whole door panel and taking it to a glass shop, who will remove the damaged mirror and replace it with a new one. The door panel can then easily be re-installed.
## Actions to Prevent this Issue:
- [ ] **Seal Mirror Edges:** Apply a protective sealant to the edges of mirrors to reduce exposure to moisture and cleaning chemicals.
- [ ] **Improve Ventilation:** Enhance bathroom airflow with an efficient exhaust fan to reduce excessive humidity and condensation.
