12 x 12 x 0.04 Inch Acrylic See-Through Mirror, 30% Transparent

I build the SFX for our local group's annual haunted house, so I bought one of these for an effect. It works just as it should, and is much cheaper than a glass 2-way mirror. Also, it's much safer if some guest goes bonkers and tries to break it. Tip: I used a 3-way light switch to control this. (The switches in your house where you can flip either of 2 switches to control a light) I hooked it up so that switching "UP" lights a light on one side, flipping the switch "DOWN" lights the light on the other side. This way, only one light is lit at a time so you can switch from mirror to see-through. The sudden change in lighting gets the guest's attention. Works great!

Well the first one came broken. But i contacted the seller, and they had a beautiful replacement to me in two days!! I couldnt be happier with the final product!! Im limited on space, and my vanity doubles as my desk. Im currently getting my associates in software engineering. And my surface pro took a hard fall from the mounting arm I had, I needed to reevealuate. But i needed something better than just a raspberry system. This ultimate smart mirror was a perfect solution. I unbezeled a hp EliteDisplay S230tm. And got a mini hp EliteDesk. A shadow box that was 3inches deep, and this piece of acrylic. Its been a headache, but its so worth it!!

UPDATE: got a replacement, and it's just as bad, if not worse. If you're using it for a magic mirror project, just bite the bullet and go with a glass one. This one is prone to bad defects. After delivery, you have to remove 3 protective films in total. This gave me confidence the acrylic would be in good condition, but upon removing the film, it had a long diagonal streak going through the middle. I thought this was maybe a scruff from me removing the protective layer, but it was in fact between layers of the acrylic, and could not be cleaned. What more, upon cleaning with ordinary windex and a lint free cloth, the reflective material began to wipe off. Poor quality and fragile. If you get it in perfect condition, install it and don't touch it. Otherwise send it back for a replacement or shop somewhere else, because it'll damage easily.

The sheet feels well made. I took the time to apply masking tape on both sides of the sheet over the cut lines before Scoring the cut. However, I was unable to prevent a crack from propagating towards the center of the usable area of my smart mirror. As a result my first encounter with this product promptly went into the trash. Second, the sheet has to be cut 1 mm less than the inner dimensions of the mounting area. If not, the sheet will distort and the reflected images will look like those in an amusement park. Therefore make sure that your seating area has enough lip to accommodate a smaller dimensions of the sheet. OK, which side is which? The manufacturer has a label on the sheet with a bar-code on it. There is clear enough information on how to identify the sides of the mirror. I like this item and ordered another one. Maybe I must use a Jigsaw this time? I wish it was a bit more inexpensive.

If you are planning to size this, be aware, its brittle, not as bad as glass, but you need to score it deeply...do NOT try to cut with a saw. Also, be aware, not being glass, it scuffs and scratches easily...but...I protected mine by putting a lexan cover on it..

This arrived in a giant box! I was so worried it was going to be broken, but it was very very bubble wrapped inside. It arrived in perfect condition. I made a huge magic mirror for a class project, and it worked out great! It's thick, but yes, you can see through it. I really enjoyed working on this project! Ended up getting a B in the class (aww ysss)! And yes, I know it's expensive. Trust me I did quite a bit of looking around and almost bought something cheap. But I think if you're going to make something for your house that you intend to use daily, or for a gift, spend the money on a quality peice of acrylic. The company even reached out to me to make sure everything was ok when it arrived. Spend the money, it's seriously worth it! Warning!! I suggest working with something a bit smaller though if you don't have the right kind of frame (like me). It tends to bow out, like it's falling out of the frame, but when I have time I plan on fixing the frame so it stays in place. Make sure you have your measurements right!! I'd suggest working with a local framing company if you'd like to put this in a shadow box type of fixture.

I used this with a laser cutter to make some perforated plastic lenses for a Halloween mask. It cut incredibly cleanly, and the plastic protective coating on both sides prevented any scratches or marring during the process. Even without the perforations, the plastic is transparent enough to see through. The only downside is that I ordered a sheet that was a little too thin and therefore it's easy to break if flexed, but that is buyer error and not the fault of the manufacturer. Can't beat the price for the quality of the material. Just remember to remove the film on each side after cutting.

From what I can see, the reflectivity of the mirror is really good and as soon as I get everything completed I'll add photos to show it. The mirror itself had a small fracture in the top middle of it which was a slight bummer but I should be able to cover it in the project I'm using it for. The box itself wasn't even labeled as fragile so it's most definitely Amazon's fault, not the seller's, yet the seller gets punished for it. Will definitely look to purchase again for other projects.

Non si può pulire internamente parte specchio

Beim Reinigen mit einem Mikrofasertuch geht die Schicht runter !!!??

J'avais besoins de réaliser un écran de TV miroir et j'ai acheté ce produit en anti-rayure. J'étais septique à cause de certains commentaire négatifs mais au final je suis super surpris (et agréablement) du résultat ! Avec un cadre autour de la télé on ne la voit pas du tout. l'effet "Wow" marche super, j'ai juste poussé la luminosité de la télé un peu plus fort pour compensé l'atténuation provoquée par la couche sans tain mais le fait est que ça marche très bien. En plein jour avec un peu de soleil ça devient compliqué mais le soir on ne voit même plus d'atténuation. attention cependant il est écrit que l'on peu coupé le plexi avec une paire de ciseaux, j'étais septique et effectivement il faut le rayer et cassercomme un plexus lambda et non pas le couper aux ciseaux. la surface étant plutôt souple le miroir peux paraitre déformé, c'est normal mais en pense que cette déformation peut être compenser par une plus grosse épaisseur de plexi (moi j'ai pris le 1mm)

I like that there were no surprises and I use it for entertainment

Bought the 3mm sheet for a Magic Mirror project and its been perfect so far. The sheet was well packaged and had no marks or cracks. Reflections look normal and light comes through the other side well. I had to cut the sheet to size using a razor blade to create a groove then applying pressure until the sheet snapped along the line. There is some marks along the edge but nothing too bad. Haven't tried cleaning yet as some reviews stated that cleaning damages the acrylic and the mirror coating. I can say I recommend this for any magic mirror projects. Although I'd say get the 3mm one as its less likely to bend and distort the reflection.
