See our blog page. We have a choice of two different plastic mirrors: acrylic mirrors and polycarbonate mirrors.Acrylic mirrors are 17x stronger than glass; polycarbonate mirrors are stronger again and are unbreakable mirrors. Because acrylic mirrors are safer alternatives to glass mirrors they are popular for use in public places - our acrylic mirrors end up in dance studios, gyms, bedrooms, gardens (as a way of reflecting light and giving the appearance of a bigger space) as well as in craft projects.
Acrylic mirror can also be used outside and are great at helping reflect light around gardens and outdoor spaces to make them look brighter, lighter and more spacious. Acrylic mirror will weather outdoors over time with changes in temperature and moisture. The mirror will still be attractive and reflective but will have a more weathered appearance. Our polycarbonate is an excellent problem solving mirror in that it will not smash and is vandal resistant. They are popular in public spaces where they may be vandalised.
