MIRROR GLAZING OPTIONS

PLATE GLASS MIRROR

This Industry Standard is regular 1/4”(6mm) glass with a back surface coating of silver, which produces images by reflection. This produces the best reflective quality.

LAMINATED MIRROR

Made of two pieces of glass (one with a mirror coating) and a vinyl layer in between, This glass is held together when shattered.

TEMPERED MIRROR

This safety option changes the structure of the glass so that it breaks into smaller pieces instead of potentially larger jagged pieces that are typical with plate glass breakage. It will have some distortion due to its production process.

ACRYLIC MIRROR

A plastic mirror that is lighter and more difficult to break than a plate glass mirror. It is more susceptible to scratching. Cleaning should only be done with a very soft cloth and water.

POLYCARBONATE MIRROR

A plastic mirror that is made to be softer than an acrylic mirror so that it gives. This mirror is extremely lightweight and offers superior optical clarity. It is virtually unbreakable.

ALUMINUM MIRROR

A mirror with a 100% recycled solid core, making it a green product. This mirror has an aluminum reflective outer surface on the front and an aluminum matte finish on the back. It is virtually unbreakable.

STAINLESS STEEL MIRROR
