Introduction
Acrylics and plastic sheeting is regularly used all over the world due to their versatility, durability and availability. It has plenty of benefits over other materials from its strength and ease in which it can be installed, and transportability.
But what about an acrylic mirror sheet?
What is it?
Acrylic mirror sheet is made from the same material as acrylic sheeting and plexiglass, but the difference lies in the name – instead of being transparent and used for things like displays, windows and furniture, it is finished with a mirror laminate so you can see your reflection in it.
What are the benefits of using it over a normal mirror?
There are a number of reasons why it is often chosen over a standard mirror, but the main reason is for safety. When a mirror breaks, it leaves dangerous sharp shards where it smashes (not to mention a solid seven years of bad luck to boot!).
An acrylic mirror sheet does not have the capacity to shatter, although it can break, it is considered to be much stronger than a normal standard mirror – in fact it is considered to be 17 times stronger than glass. It also has the benefit of being easy to cut to shape so it is versatile in its applications for things such as decorative mirrors, light fixtures, safety mirrors, security mirrors, and retail and privacy screens.
Acrylic mirrors are also lighter in weight making them easier to transport and install – they even surprisingly have better clarity than a regular mirror.
Where can you get it from?
It can be purchased from a variety of stores but one of the best places is Plastic Warehouse where they have a huge variation of products available at wholesale price and can be delivered to your door.
