Detailed description:
Bronze and gold mirror finish
Highly reflective bronze and gold mirror finish provide a luxurious aesthetic.
Strength
Impact resistance is 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 mirrors, acrylic mirrors are 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 for cosmetic counter displays.
Application tips and instructions:
Acrylic mirror sheet is flexible, so it must be applied to a perfectly flat surface to minimize the chance of distortion.
To help keep the mirror sheet flat and rigid, we recommend applying the mirror sheet to a perfectly flat sheet of plywood or MDF of at least 3/4″ thickness. This should be done with a good mirror adhesive such as Evo-Stick Mirror Adhesive or a high-quality VHB double-sided tape. Any adhesive used must be applied evenly across the entire surface of the mirror (we recommend using a gloss roller brush to spread the adhesive evenly) to help achieve a flat finish and minimize the chance of distortion.
Both mirror adhesive and VHB double-sided tape are readily available in all good hardware stores.
