Detailed description:
Coloured mirror finish
Highly reflective coloured mirrored surface with a grey backing on the reverse.
Strength
Impact resistance 10 times greater than equivalent glass mirror.
Lightweight
Sheet acrylic mirror is a light weight material that is easy and safe to handle, work and install.
Shatterproof
Unlike some traditional glass mirror, acrylic mirror is shatterproof.
Weather resistance
High resistance to weather makes acrylic mirror an appropriate solution for both indoor and outdoor applications. It's just as suitable for garden installations as it is cosmetic counter displays.
Application tips and instructions:
Acrylic mirror sheet is flexible so must be applied to a perfectly flat surface to minimise the chance of distortion.
Available in both 3mm and 5mm thicknesses we recommend opting for the more rigid 5mm thickness for larger sheet sizes as it’s easier to keep flat.
To help keep the mirror sheet flat and rigid, we recommend applying mirror sheet to a perfectly flat plywood or MDF base of at least 3/4" thickness. This should be done with good mirror adhesive such as Evo-Stick Mirror Adhesive or a good quality VHB double side tape. Any adhesive used must be applied evenly to help achieve a flat finish therefore minimising the chance of distortion.
Both mirror adhesive and VHB double sided tape are readily available in all good hardware stores.
