Glassless mirrors are made from a highly reflective metalized film. The film is vacuum stretched around an aluminum frame to form a mirror. The raised lip of the frame provides an air space between the back of the film and the rigid foam core inside.

Glassless mirror is a fraction of the weight of a glass mirror. For example, a glassless mirror panel 48" x 72" x 1¼" weighs approximately 10 pounds and a glass mirror of the same size weighs approximately 72 pounds.

Glassless mirror has an inherent safety factor because of its soft surface and is light weight. However if you were to hit it, you could puncture or tear the surface, but there will be no shards of broken glass.

Cleaning: Because the mass of the glassless mirror film is so little, the problem of static electricity attracting dust particles to its surface is practically non-existent. In a room that is free of cooking grease or smoke fumes, little cleaning is required. If a panel should get dirty, it can be cleaned by using a mild glass cleaner and a soft cloth to avoid scratching the surface. Do not use paper towels or tissues, which are usually abrasive. An interesting property of glassless mirrors is that they will not normally fog in high humidity areas such as bathrooms or swimming pools.

The polyurethane foam makes a glassless mirror panel a thermal insulator.

• A glassless mirror panel can be silkscreened or painted with acrylic paints for decorative effects or graphic treatments.
• A glassless mirror panel has sound-absorbing properties which become stronger as the frequency (Hz) range grows higher, making the glassless mirror panel particularly effective for public gathering places and schools with high noise levels.

Benefits

• Weight:  our mirrors weigh a fraction of what a plate glass mirror of the same size weighs. Our standard 4' x 6' mirror weighs only 10 pounds and a 4' x 6' plate glass weighs approximately 72 pounds.

• Installation:  because the mirror is so light, it takes only minutes to install.

• Shatterproof:  the mirror will never shatter.

• Easy to clean:  wipe gently with a soft non-abrasive cloth.

• Acoustical properties:  our mirrors, constructed with a foam backing, do not reflect sound back, the way a hard surface plate glass mirror does.

Uses

Our mirrors can be used almost anywhere that you can hang a mirror!

They can even be used in places it would be difficult to use glass mirrors because of our lightweight, shatterproof design.

Let us help you design the right mirror for your space. Custom sizes up to 75 inches wide x 16 feet long are available. They may be installed horizontally or vertically.  We offer many easy mounting solutions.

Mount them on our rolling stands and you can store them out of the way when they are not in use, or wall mount them where they can be used every day.

Multi-purpose spaces, stage productions and scenery, dressing rooms, fashion shows, merchandising displays, dance and exercise studios, home and commercial gyms, playrooms, ceiling, lobbies, night clubs, casinos, educational facilities, public restrooms, physical therapy facilities, hospitals, nursing homes, and theatrical lighting.

Theatrical lighting: glassless mirrors have also been used for theatrical lighting by placing a bank of panels above the performers and the lighting behind them.  This reduces the length of travel of the light beam and increases the intensity of light on the performers.  It also allows the lighting operators to see the performers closely and follow them easily.

Outdoors: In a warm climate and sheltered location, glassless mirrors may be considered for a short term (several months) outdoor exhibit .  Glassless mirrors cannot be used out of doors in a temperate zone climate , because we find that over an extended period of time the polyester film will become brittle.
