About Our Products
You can buy any size of front surface mirror from us, and we will custom cut it and ship it out to you immediately. Our acrylic mirrors are inexpensive, and can be used for projects which do not require an optical grade reflection. Our glass mirrors are much higher quality, and are ideal for high-tech, optical projects. Compared to other front surface mirrors, they are more flat and have a very consistent mirror coating from edge to edge.

What are front surface mirrors?
Front surface mirrors are made for projects that require a strict reflection without creating a ghosting effect as seen with a standard mirror - where a secondary faint reflection can be observed, coming from the front surface of the glass. This includes many optical applications where light or an image is being manipulated in a specific manner. Telescopes, projection TV's, and military flight simulators use this type of mirror.
