Just wondering if anyone here has used (or heard tales of) acrylic mirror
sheeting. Can acrylic provide the same dead-flat mirror effect as glass?
Are there any particularly recommended makers and/or suppliers?


Many thanks.


It needs to be fixed to a totally flat rigid background, If not, you get
the fairground distorting mirror effect.


I have some large acrylic mirrors and in some lighting conditions they
can have subtle milky appearance especially if viewed at an angle other
than 90 degrees to their surface. This effect is noticeable when the sun
is shining through my windows on to the mirrors.


I might be misremembering, but didn't the Medway Handyman have a job
to fix it to all the ceilings in a local house? Had to wait around
out of sight until clients had finished using some of the rooms...
