What we can do for you
We can immediately ship you any size first surface mirror (also known
as front surface mirrors), including sizes up to 96" x 72". Our acrylic
mirrors are inexpensive, and can be used for hobby projects. Our optical
glass mirrors are much higher quality, and are ideal for high precision
applications. Relative to other first surface mirrors, they are more flat
and have a more consistent mirror coating from edge to edge.
What are first surface mirrors?
First surface mirrors are made for applications requiring a strict
reflection without a ghosting effect as seen with a second surface
mirror - where a faint secondary reflection could be observed, coming
from the front surface of the glass. This includes most optical
applications where light is being manipulated in a specific manner.
Telescopes, projection televisions, and periscopes use this type of
mirror. Our optical grade glass mirrors meet military standards:
Mil-C-48497, Mil-M-13508C, & Mil-STD-810.
