A beautiful wall of clear, spotless, shining mirror. Perfect for gyms, yoga studios, dance studios, restrooms, fitting rooms, shopping centres, theatres, lifts and in small homes where you need to create the illusion of space by creating reflective surfaces.
Did you know that a large area of glass mirror in your home or workplace could be a safety risk that could lead not only to injuries, but to you being sued?
Yes, that’s right. Sued. A glass mirror fell on one yoga student at a US yoga studio, causing injuries to her eyes. She sued the studio. Being sued, very likely, isn’t the outcome you thought would occur when you set up your yoga business to provide healing, soothing, centring and grounding to people who are frazzled from their busy lives. But it could, and did, happen.
So, what can you do about it?
You could create a physical barrier between the mirror sheet and your building occupants. But this rather defeats the purpose of a mirror wall, doesn’t it?
You could not use a mirror at all. After all, Not everyone who goes to the gym likes to look at themselves while working out, but there are those who wish to make sure their technique is correct and that they are gaining maximum benefit from their time investment.
Or you could use an acrylic mirror sheet – a mirror sheet made of plastic, instead of the glass we are so used to using for mirrors.
But surely it would look cheap and tacky, you say? Let’s look into it a bit more.
What is Acrylic Mirror Sheet?
Acrylic mirror sheet is just like a sheet of glass mirror, but it is made of a type of plastic – acrylic, commonly known as Perspex. A mirror coating is applied to the surface of the acrylic, giving it a reflective finish that is similar to glass mirrors.
Advantages of Acrylic Mirror Sheet Over Glass
Acrylic mirror sheet has many advantages over glass, in that it is lighter weight, more resistant to breaking if it is hit, more resistant to vibration, easy to transport and cut and can even be fitted around curved surfaces.
Any Colour Choices?
If you are seeking an acrylic mirror sheet with a more glamorous look than the standard silver appearance, acrylic mirror sheet is available in gold and rose gold – perfect for exclusive restaurants and theatres.
