Mirror
Glass backed with a reflective metal layer. It reflects from behind the glass surface, so thickness, edge tint, double reflections, scratches, and backing damage matter.

Choosing points
- Best for vanities, shops, gyms, and closet doors where the space should feel larger and brighter.
- Mirrors reveal the whole room through reflection, so surroundings must make sense.
- Edges can blacken when backing deteriorates.
- Bathroom mirrors show water spots, toothpaste marks, and cleaning streaks.
How it ages
- Moisture can damage backing at edges; safety backing is needed in many public or large-panel uses.
What to avoid
- Do not use ordinary mirror glass in wet or exterior locations without protected backing and edge sealing.
