Glass Mirrors | Traditional home decor, commercial spaces | Heavy (25 kg/m²), Fragile (no impact resistance), Reflectivity 92% (ISO 9056) | High clarity, cost-effective for small sizes | Heavy (requires reinforced mounting), prone to breakage (safety hazard) |
Acrylic Mirrors (Base) | Home furniture, lightweight applications | Lightweight (8 kg/m² ▲ vs Glass), Durable (ASTM D3763 impact test passed), Reflectivity 88% (ISO 9056) | Shatter-resistant (safer than glass), half the weight of glass | Slightly lower reflectivity (4% less than glass), scratches more easily |
PC Mirrors (Advanced) | High-impact areas, outdoor use | Ultra-durable (ASTM D3763 withstood 200J impact ▲▲), Lightweight (8 kg/m²), UV-resistant (ASTM G154) | Extreme impact resistance (survives 2kg drop from 1m), UV stability outdoors | Higher cost (30% more than acrylic), slight surface haze affecting clarity |
PETG Mirrors | Retail displays, temporary installations | Chemical-resistant (ASTM D543 ▲), Flexible (bends without cracking), Reflectivity 82% (ISO 9056) | Resists chemical exposure (ideal for labs), flexible for curved designs | Lower durability (less impact resistance than PC), lowest reflectivity in plastics |
Lightweight PP Mirrors | Mobile homes, temporary setups | Extremely lightweight (5 kg/m² ▲▲ vs Glass), Basic durability (ASTM D3763 pass), Reflectivity 78% (ISO 9056) | Ultra-lightweight (ideal for portable use), cost-effective | Lowest reflectivity (14% less than glass), minimal impact resistance |
Customizable Plastic | Custom furniture, unique designs | Custom dimensions (up to 3m x 2m), Edge treatments (polished/beveled), Safety-certified (REACH/SVHC ▲▲) | Tailored to specifications, EU safety compliance (no hazardous substances) | Longer lead times (2-3 weeks), higher cost for bespoke finishes |
