product overview
•glass mirror, also known as polished glass or coated glass, is a type of glass product that is processed through special techniques to create a high reflectivity mirror effect on the surface of the glass.
•It can be divided into single-sided coated mirror glass and double-sided coated mirror glass, which can meet the needs of different scenarios.
Craftsmanship
•Coating process: Typically, physical or chemical methods such as vacuum magnetron sputtering, chemical vapor deposition, pyrolysis, vacuum evaporation, cathodic sputtering, etc. are used to deposit one or more layers of metal or metal oxide thin films on the surface of high-quality float glass, thereby giving the glass a mirror like effect.
•Tempering process: In order to improve the strength and safety of glass, some mirror glass will also undergo tempering treatment. By heating and rapidly cooling glass, stress is generated inside it, thereby enhancing its impact resistance and temperature resistance. When broken, small particles are also formed, reducing harm to the human body.
Product Features
•Excellent reflective performance: With extremely high reflectivity, it can clearly reflect the surrounding scenery, forming a realistic mirror effect. The reflectivity can reach 30% -60% or even higher, effectively reflecting infrared and ultraviolet rays in sunlight and reducing indoor heat absorption.
•Unidirectional transparency: Mirror glass coated with metal film has the characteristic of unidirectional transparency. During the day, indoor lighting is relatively dim, while outdoor lighting is abundant. From indoors, one can see the outdoor scenery, while outdoor people can only see the outdoor scene reflected by the glass and cannot see the indoor situation, which serves as a shield and curtain for the interior of the building.
•Good optical performance: While ensuring mirror reflection effect, it can also maintain a certain transmittance, making indoor lighting soft and avoiding the dazzling phenomenon caused by excessive light reflection of ordinary mirrors. The visible light transmittance is usually in the range of 20% -65%.
•Highly decorative: The coating color of mirror glass is rich and diverse, including gold, silver, gray, bronze, brown, light blue, etc., which can add unique decorative effects to buildings and indoor spaces. It can reflect the surrounding landscape and clouds in the sky on the curtain wall, forming a brilliant picture, achieving perfect harmony between the building and the natural environment.
•Safe and durable: Tempered mirror glass has high strength, impact resistance, and is not easily broken. Even if broken, it will not form sharp fragments, reducing safety risks. At the same time, the coating on its surface has good corrosion resistance and wear resistance, which can resist acid and alkali erosion and scratching in daily environments, and has a long service life.
application area
•Architectural decoration: widely used in curtain walls, doors, windows, partitions, etc. of buildings, it can not only provide thermal insulation and energy saving, but also enhance the overall beauty of buildings, making the appearance of buildings more modern and fashionable. It can also be used for indoor background walls, ceiling decorations, etc., creating a spacious, bright, and luxurious atmosphere by reflecting the surrounding environment and light.
•Home life: commonly used to make bathroom mirrors, dressing mirrors, dressing table mirrors, etc., providing clear images to meet the needs of daily dressing and grooming. It can also be installed on wardrobe doors, cabinet doors, and other places, which not only has practical functions, but also makes the home space look more spacious and tidy. In addition, it can also be used to make decorative paintings, screens and other home decorations, adding artistic atmosphere and fashion sense to the home environment.
•Commercial places: In commercial spaces such as shopping malls, shops, and exhibition halls, mirror glass can be used to make display cabinets and shelves. By reflecting light and items, it attracts customers' attention and enhances the display effect. It can also serve as a partition for commercial spaces, dividing different functional areas while maintaining the transparency and openness of the space.
•Advertising media: can be used to create advertising light boxes, display windows, etc., by installing lights or electronic display devices behind glass. After being powered on, it can display advertising content and present a mirror effect when turned off, improving the attractiveness and dissemination effect of advertisements.
•Other fields: In hospitals, schools, office spaces, etc., it can be used to make observation windows, partitions, etc., which can meet the needs of lighting and observation while protecting privacy. In some special places, such as judicial institutions, detention centers, etc., one-way perspective mirror glass can also be used for monitoring and interrogation work.
Specification parameters
•Thickness: The general thickness range is between 2mm and 7mm, with common thicknesses such as 4mm, 5mm, and 6mm. Glass of different thicknesses is suitable for different application scenarios, and the thicker the glass, the higher its strength and stability.
•Size: Customization can be made according to specific customer requirements to meet different space and usage needs.
Installation and maintenance
•Installation: When installing mirror glass, it is necessary to ensure that the installation surface is flat and clean, and avoid direct contact between the glass and hard objects to avoid scratching or damage. For larger glass sizes, it is recommended to have professionals install them to ensure a secure and safe installation.
•Maintenance: Daily maintenance is relatively simple, just use a clean soft cloth or glass cleaner to regularly wipe the glass surface to keep the mirror clean and shiny. Avoid using sharp or rough objects to wipe the glass to avoid scratching the coating layer. Meanwhile, it is important to avoid strong impacts and shocks on the glass to prevent it from shattering.

GLASS ENCYCLOPEDIA
Can frosted glass be cleaned with wet wipes?
→ Okay! Recommend using glass cleaner and fish scale cloth to avoid scratching the matte layer with hard objects.
How to choose between single-sided frosted and double-sided frosted?
→Single sided frosted (smooth surface facing inward) is easier to clean; Double sided frosted provides stronger privacy.
Will frosted glass reduce light transmittance?
→ It will decrease by about 20% -40%, and the ultra white glass substrate can reduce the loss of light transmission.
