Technology gives us new materials on a daily basis and with them opens up endless possibilities whether we are talking about home design or equipping workspaces or urban furniture. They are an exceptional option for both exterior and interior construction.
One of the main advances in this sense are acrylic mirrors, commonly known as safety mirrors, as it is a material that has the same appearance as a normal mirror, with the same reflective capacity, but with characteristics that make it much safer for all types of environments.
Advantages of the acrylic mirrors vs. glass mirrors
At Polimer Tecnic we work with Vitroflex PMMA acrylic mirror sheets. This mirror offers a high reflection capacity, equal to that of glass to the naked eye, but has numerous advantages over the latter:
Greater safety: Mirror acrylic resistance to breakage is 10 times higher than that of glass, being especially suitable for use in environments where they can receive blows such as workplaces or small children's rooms.
Lighter: Acrylic plastic is significantly lighter than glass, making it easier to transport, handle and install. It is much easier to place anywhere and offers less risk of accidents due to its lighter weight.
More manageable: these mirrors are also much more manageable than glass. It is a much more flexible material and easier to mould and adapt to virtually any shape, so custom projects are also more feasible. It is cold, bendable, thermoformable and very easy to manipulate mechanically.
