Key Features of mirrors manufactured from other
materials:-
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Acrylic mirrors: -
Cheap acrylic mirrors are often prone to producing distorted
images, whilst the very best (and more expensive) units will offer
good images. Acrylic mirrors are
lightweight and because they are cheap to manufacture, appear
to be competitively priced, they are
however easily scratched and as they will shatter on impact (i.e.
when deliberately or accidentally struck), they are a
potential hazard and therefore unsuitable for many applications
or use in public places
|
|
|
|
|
Polycarbonate mirrors: -
Are robust, lightweight and the material is virtually
indestructible. Polycarbonate mirrors which have been treated
with a hardened coating offer protection against minor
scratches, and many polycarbonate mirrors are manufactured to
be equally suitable for indoor or outdoor applications. The
major down-side of polycarbonate mirrors is the high cost of
both the material and the manufacturing process (producing a
ridge free / distortion free polycarbonate dish or dome
structure as needed for a mirror is a difficult process)
|
|
|
|
|
Glass mirrors: -
Glass has long been a favourite material for producing mirrors,
and modern glass mirrors will typically deliver clear, distortion
free images. Whilst once the cheapest option available
for quality mirror production, over recent years plastic
materials and volume production have put glass units under
severe price pressure, and the best plastic units are now
capable of delivering images at least as good as a high
quality glass mirror. On the downside, glass is a heavy, fragile material
which easily shatters on impact, making glass mirrors a
potential hazard and therefore
unsuitable for many applications or use in public places
|
|
|
|
|
Polished metal mirrors: -
Historically metal mirrors date back at least to ancient china and have
typically been manufactured from bronze, copper or brass.
Todays metal mirrors will typically be manufactured from
polished stainless steel and may be the preferred choice where
vandalism is a serious and ongoing major issue. These are
however specialist units
which are produced in relatively low volumes and in a limited
range of sizes. Material and
production costs make these mirrors very expensive by comparison
with alternative types, and for any given size, costs could
easily be 3 or 4 times that of a mirror manufactured from high
quality plastic based materials
