With acrylic mirror sheet (also known as plexiglass mirror or acrylic mirror) you can create beautiful mirrored projects that you cannot achieve with a regular glass mirror. This material combines the clarity of a regular mirror with the workability of acrylic. You can cut out any shape you want, perfect for wall mirrors, product displays, exhibition stands, billboards, lamps or mirrored letters.
The material consists of a transparent acrylic base with a mirrored backing. This construction makes the material 25 times stronger than glass and much lighter in weight. These sheets are extruded (XT) , which means that they are flattened to a thinner thickness after casting. This process not only makes the material cost-efficient, but also reduces thickness variation.
You can choose from silver, gold, pink and anthracite as mirror colours - all equally clear and free of wrinkles for a perfect mirror image.
Good to know before you start: This material is only suitable for indoor use . The mirror layer on the end faces can corrode outside. For the best result, attach mirror acrylic to a flat surface - this prevents distortion in the reflection.
There are several methods for attaching your acrylic mirror. The most commonly used are mounting glue or a screw connection through the plate. Due to the extrusion, the plate is under slight tension, which means that you have to be extra careful during processing. This requires a little more patience when laser cutting, milling, drilling or engraving, but with the right settings you will get beautiful results. Never stick (double-sided) tape on the mirror layer, this will damage the material.
Handy tip: leave the protective film on while editing. This reduces the chance of scratches or damage. Only remove the film when you are going to mount the plate.

Maintenance requires a bit more attention than with regular glass, because plexiglass is more sensitive to scratches. However, with the right non-abrasive cleaning agents and a soft cloth, you can easily keep your mirror plate in top condition.
