Standard clear mirrors are classic silver second-surface mirrors in which the reflective silver layer is applied to the rear side of the glass. Incident light first passes through the clear glass and is then reflected by the silver coating.
These mirrors combine high reflectance with a durable and well-protected mirror coating. They are suitable for both functional and decorative applications and can be supplied in a wide range of custom sizes and shapes.
Macada supplies silver mirrors in various thicknesses and can cut them to size and finish them with ground or polished edges.
Glass thickness in millimetres. Thickness affects strength, weight and which edge finishes are available. Only certain thicknesses can be selected per product.
Rectangular or round for standard shapes. Choose custom for a bespoke outline — we will send a quotation.
Length of a rectangular pane in mm (longest side). Enter the required outside dimension; min. and max. values depend on the product.
Width of a rectangular pane in mm (shortest side). Together with length this defines the size of your glass sheet.
Outside dimension of a round disc in mm. For bespoke sizes enter the diameter; for standard sizes pick from the list.
Allowed deviation from the chosen dimension after processing (e.g. ±0.5 mm). Tighter tolerance requires more precision and may affect price.
Holes or bores in the glass. Always on request — we will assess feasibility and send a quotation.
Cut-outs or recesses in the glass. Always on request — we will review and quote accordingly.
In a silver mirror, the reflective layer is located on the back of the glass. Incident light first passes through the glass, is reflected by the silver layer and then passes through the glass again.
The reflective layer is protected on the rear side by additional coatings. This creates a durable mirror that is resistant to normal environmental influences and cleaning.
Because the reflection takes place behind the glass, this type is also known as a second-surface mirror. For applications where a very sharp reflection without unwanted double images is required, a first-surface mirror is generally used.
Silver mirrors are used in applications including:
