What is an acrylic mirror?

An acrylic mirror is a polished thermoplastic sheet. This polishing process creates the reflection necessary to use these sheets as mirrors.

Are acrylic mirrors durable?

Acrylic mirrors are very resistant and much stronger than glass mirrors. They can resist greater impacts such as collisions, bangs, drops, or crashes, providing safer displays than glass mirrors. But if they scratch at some point, you can always use acrylic polishers to make the material look as good as new.

Acrylic mirrors also have good resistance to UV lights and harsh weather conditions, meaning you can use them for outdoor displays without being worried about damaging them. 

When taking good care of an acrylic mirror, it can last in perfect condition for over 10 years.
