Mylar Mirrors

Mylar mirrors consist of a rigid foam core framed by an aluminum extrusion. The frame has a raised lip around the four edges. A highly reflective metalized film is stretched across the raised edges to form the mirror surface. Because the film is mounted on raised edges, an air space is created between the back of the film and the core. The air space, 1/8”, allows the film to flex under minor impact without damage. 

Since the mylar film is shatterproof, it is considered much safer in establishments that traditionally have large amounts of glass around their customers.  For example dance studios, schools, gyms, bars, etc… Without dangerous shards of glass, mylar mirrors significantly reduce the likelihood of injury and minimize exposure to liability claims. This may in turn reduce the annual business insurance costs. 

For example, many school districts and government agencies will not allow standard glass mirrors to be installed due to liability claims. Mylar mirrors are the safe and effective alternative.
