Mirrored Perspex® Acrylic Sheets

Commonly, glass is used in homes and businesses for applications such as windows and mirrors. Acrylic Mirrors are becoming increasingly popular as an alternative option to glass since they are cheaper and much more shatter-resistant. Acrylic Mirrors are also more lightweight than glass, making handling and installation a lot easier. Further to this, acrylic mirrors are far stronger than glass, so the risk of them damaging or breaking is lowered. If they do break, they are less likely to shatter into sharp hazardous fragments like glass does. This makes them ideal for high-traffic areas such as homes with pets and children where safety is a concern.

We supply our Mirrored Acrylic Sheets in a variety of colours. Our typical silver mirrored acrylic sheet comes in both 3mm and 5mm and is perfect to use as gym mirrors, or in your home gym as well as as an equestrian stable mirror. It can also be used as a cut-to-size tabletop protector to allow spaces to reflect more light into the room. Our coloured mirrors, including our smoked grey and gold acrylic mirrors, are a new addition to our Perspex® collection. Their aesthetic appeal can add a touch of elegance and sophistication to any project. The mirrored surfaces create a reflective effect and can enhance the overall visual appeal of your designs. This makes them a great choice for applications such as Signage, Etsy Store creations and artistic installations. We can easily cut your sheet to size, and you can customise your sheet by writing or printing onto it!

All of our acrylic mirrors are versatile and weather resistant, so they make for a great addition outside of the home too as an acrylic garden mirror.

When you purchase your cut-to-size mirrored acrylic sheets from us, you can expect great customer service, fast delivery, and expert cutting techniques to ensure the accuracy of +/- 1mm. If you are unsure of the colour you would like, feel free to order a sample from us before you place your final order. Alternatively, have a look at our coloured acrylic page, if mirrored, is not the finish you would like.

Installation Guidelines for Mirrored Acrylic Sheets

When buying and installing our mirrored acrylic sheets, we recommend the following steps to achieve the best results:

1. Thickness and Sizing Recommendations: For larger mirrors (such as over 1000mm in width or length), there is a higher chance of a distorted image being reflected. We recommend opting for the 5mm thickness silver mirror to minimise image distortion as a thicker acrylic reduces the flexibility. 

2. Backing Material: Ensure that the surface you are applying the mirrored acrylic to is flat and even. For optimal results, especially with larger mirrors, it is crucial to back the acrylic mirror onto a hard board, such as 18mm MDF (which we can cut to size too!) This provides stability and helps reduce image distortion. 

3. Check Your Mirrored Acrylic Sheet: All our mirrored acrylic sheets come with a protective film on the front side. Remove this film before installation to inspect the product for any damages. Note that we cannot offer refunds or replacements for installed products, so please check thoroughly before proceeding to install.

4. Adhesive: We recommend using our all in one non-solvent adhesive for installation. Make sure to apply the adhesive evenly to the surface using a roller for a secure fit.  While this method is the most common and provides a smooth, professional finish, you can also use an appropriate drill bit for mechanical fixing if preferred.

5. Professional Installation: If you're uncertain about the installation process, we strongly recommend hiring a trained professional to ensure a high-quality reflection and secure installation.

Please Note: Some degree of distortion may still occur due to the flexible nature of acrylic mirrors. This is not a manufacturing defect but an inherent characteristic of the material. Please keep in mind that your purchase includes the mirrored acrylic only, without a frame or mount.
