Factors of a high quality Bathroom Mirrors

 

A mirror is much more than a piece of reflecting glass on your wall. Mirrors can make your home super stylish. They can create an illusion of space for smaller homes and they also improve interior light by reflecting it. But if you are thinking about embellishing your walls with a shaped mirror, it is quite important to choose a high quality mirror that keeps looking nice and bright over time. The quality of mirrors becomes even more important if you want to use a fitted mirror for your bathroom as the mirror requires to be more durable in the bathroom environment.

Glass quality for mirrors

The purity of the raw materials used and their level of purity affects the final quality of the glass in the manufacturing process. A high quality mirror requires high quality glass and the best glass has no inconsistencies so it won’t distort the reflection.

How thick should a high quality mirror be?

When determining the quality of a mirror, the glass quality id specifically important, but the overall mirror quality can generally be determined by the thickness of the mirror. If you are looking for a high quality mirror for your home, there are some regular thicknesses that you can choose from. For home applications, mirrors are available in 1/8, 3/16, and 1/4 inch thicknesses.

Ideally, you need to choose the thicker mirrors if you are looking for high quality. So if your budget can handle its cost, you should always go for a mirror that is a 1/4 inch thick.

The 1/4-inch thickness will generally cause the mirror to not distort the reflection, even if the wall that the mirror is fitted on is not completely flat. You should consider that glass is flexible and because of that, as adhesive dries, it will mold the mirror to any wall inconsistencies. This creates a distortion in the reflection. So it is advised to fix the inconsistencies in your wall before you go for the mirror.

Quality of mirror silvering

In order to make a mirror, a reflective material such as tin-mercury amalgam, aluminum, or silver has adhered to the back of the clear glass.

Now a high quality mirror will have silver as its reflective coating. The mirror will also have a sealer and several coats of paint to prevent the silver from tarnishing.

So, as mentioned there are numerous coating materials and the most common one is a mixture of silver nitrate with other chemical compounds. This surface is then covered with red lead, which provides mechanical protection for the silver nitrate. A final coating of sealer is then applied over the red lead.

If you are looking for a high quality mirror for your home, you must consider that inexpensive mirrors will use lower quality and very thin coatings of reflective material compared to more expensive mirrors.
