See-Through Mirrored Acrylic Details
Please see below for our advice on installation.
If you're looking for a stylish and unique material for your next project, the see-through acrylic mirror may be just what you need! This versatile material is a type of plastic that has been treated with a reflective coating to create a mirrored finish but with the added twist of transparency. This two-way see-through mirror can be used as an ordinary mirror but is also see-through when you illuminate it from the opposite side. This makes it ideal to use for surveillance or security in shops, as a theatre prop or for illusionary effects in art installations. Two-way mirrors are sometimes utilized in interior design to maintain privacy while maximizing natural light. They can be used for windows, partitions, or doors, allowing light to enter a space while preventing direct visibility from the outside.
It's important to note that the effectiveness of a two-way mirror depends on lighting conditions. For the mirror to work as intended, the side with brighter lighting should serve as the viewing side, while the darker side remains more reflective.
Another advantage of Mirrored Acrylic is its versatility. It can be easily cut to size by us to fit any design or application, making it a popular choice for designers, architects, and DIY enthusiasts alike. Additionally, it is highly durable and resistant to scratches and other types of damage, making it perfect for high-traffic areas or applications that require a long lifespan.
Keeping your Acrylic Sheet clean and hygienic is also easier to maintain than a glass mirror, as all that is required is warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth.
When you choose to purchase from Cut My, exceptional customer service, prompt delivery, and expert cutting techniques are our standard. Our cutting tolerance is maintained at +/- 1mm which ensures precise results. If you are looking for a standard mirror glass alternative, we also provide silver mirrored sheets in both 3mm and 5mm. To help you find the ideal colour or finish, we provide the option to order a sample before finalizing your order.

Installation
For installation, we suggest using a hard board and an adhesive designed to be used with mirrors, the adhesive must be non-solvent and applied evenly to the surface with a roller. See our mirror fitting guide to learn more. Some distortion may still occur due to the nature of acrylic mirrors, the distortion of the acrylic mirror is a characteristic of this product and is not a manufacturing issue.
Using an adhesive on the acrylic mirror sheet and using an MDF backing is the most common choice for both ease and simplicity, providing a professional, smooth finish and most importantly, a secure fit.
Please note that the larger the mirror the higher the chance of a distorted image being reflected, to avoid this we recommend fixing to an 18mm MDF backing and ensuring the mirror is installed fully flush to the MDF or a completely smooth wall. We strongly advise that you use a trained professional to install your mirrors in order to maintain high-quality reflection.
Acrylic mirrors are more flexible than traditional glass mirrors and need to be perfectly flat to prevent distortion.
