Mirror Acrylic Sheet is a lightweight, shatter-resistant alternative to glass mirrors, featuring a vacuum-metalized mirror finish protected by a durable backing. Made from continuously processed acrylic with a reflective coating, mirror acrylic offers the look of traditional glass mirrors with superior impact resistance and easier handling. Half the weight of glass mirrors and significantly safer, it won't shatter into dangerous shards if broken.
Perfect for safety-critical applications like dance studios, gyms, and children's spaces, mirror acrylic provides excellent reflectivity while being easy to cut, handle, and install. The protective backing makes it the toughest mirrored acrylic available for both decorative and functional applications. Ideal for DIY projects, retail displays, closet doors, and anywhere glass mirrors pose safety concerns or installation challenges.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does mirror acrylic compare to glass mirrors?
Mirror acrylic is half the weight of glass and significantly more impact-resistant. While glass mirrors offer slightly better optical clarity, acrylic mirrors won't shatter into dangerous shards if broken. Acrylic is easier to cut, handle, and install. Choose mirror acrylic for safety-critical applications like gyms, dance studios, or anywhere glass breakage is a concern.
Can mirror acrylic be used outdoors?
Mirror acrylic is recommended for indoor use only. UV exposure and temperature fluctuations can degrade the reflective backing and cause the mirror finish to deteriorate over time. For outdoor applications requiring reflective surfaces, contact us for alternative mirror products designed specifically for exterior use.
How do I clean mirror acrylic without scratching?
Clean mirror acrylic with a soft, damp microfiber cloth and mild soap or acrylic-specific cleaners. Avoid paper towels which can scratch. Never use ammonia-based glass cleaners (like Windex), abrasive cleaners, or rough materials as these will damage the reflective surface. For best results, use plastic polish to maintain the mirror finish.
Can I cut mirror acrylic to custom sizes myself?
Yes, mirror acrylic can be cut using standard tools like circular saws, table saws, or routers with fine-tooth blades. Keep protective masking on both sides during cutting to prevent scratching the mirror surface. However, for best results and clean edges without scratches, we recommend having ShapesPlastics cut your mirror acrylic to your exact specifications using our precision CNC cutting service.
