FIDAR System carries mirror acrylic from two sources: Taiwan-manufactured golden and silver mirrors with premium surface quality, and JB-series mirrors in five colour tones. All sheets are 3mm cast acrylic with a high-reflectivity mirror coating applied to one side.
Mirror acrylic is more sensitive to surface scratches than standard acrylic. Keep masking on both sides until the part is installed. Use a fine-tooth blade or laser for cutting to avoid chipping the mirror coating at the edges. Avoid abrasive cleaners. Use a soft cloth with mild soap only.
Mirror acrylic is used as a backing surface for retail display shelving, jewellery cases, and product display walls - creating depth and visual interest behind merchandise. Silver and gold mirrors are the most common choices for luxury retail environments.
Interior designers specify mirror acrylic for feature wall cladding, backsplash panels, and decorative elements where a mirrored surface is desired but the weight or breakage risk of glass is not suitable. Rose gold and gold mirrors are popular for contemporary hospitality and residential interiors.
Mirror acrylic is used for cut-out logo panels and decorative signage elements - the reflective surface creates a premium visual effect. Mirror silver and golden mirror are the most used for corporate lobby signage and reception area branding.
Event designers use mirror acrylic for photo booth backdrops, table centrepieces, and decorative installations. The lightweight nature and cut-to-size flexibility make it practical for temporary installations where glass would be unsafe or impractical.
Custom furniture makers and cabinet shops use mirror acrylic as inserts for wardrobe doors, bedside table panels, and decorative furniture elements - particularly rose gold and bronze tones for contemporary furniture designs.
How to Fabricate Mirror Acrylic Sheets
Handle with Care
Mirror acrylic is more susceptible to surface scratches than standard acrylic. Keep both sides masked throughout handling and fabrication. Lay the sheet on a clean, flat surface - face side down on a soft material. Never stack sheets without protective backing between them.
Score or Saw
For straight cuts, score the non-mirror side deeply with an acrylic scoring knife and snap cleanly. For complex shapes, use a fine-tooth jigsaw blade or circular saw at low feed rate to minimize mirror coating chipping at the cut edge. Cut from the back (non-mirror) side where possible.
Smooth Cut Edges
Sand cut edges lightly with 220-grit sandpaper to remove burrs - do not flame-polish (heat can distort or delaminate the mirror coating). For a finished edge appearance, edge-tape or cover visible cut edges in final installations.
Drill Clean Holes
Use acrylic drill bits at slow speed. Position a backer board under the sheet to prevent breakout on exit. Drill from the non-mirror face side. Keep the bit cool - heat causes micro-cracking around holes in mirror acrylic.
Clean & Install
Remove masking only at time of installation. Clean with a microfibre cloth and mild soap solution only - no abrasive cleaners, solvents, or paper towels. For wall installation, use foam mounting tape or panel adhesive to avoid point-load stress.
| Property | Mirror Acrylic Sheets | Gloss Acrylic |
|---|---|---|
| Reflectivity | High - mirror-coated acrylic surface | Lower - standard gloss acrylic |
| Weight | ~1.19 g/cm³ - lightweight vs glass mirror | Heavy - ~2.5 g/cm³ |
| Breakage risk | Flexible - will not shatter like glass | Brittle - shatters on impact |
| Fabrication | Can be laser cut, routed, scored (coating may chip) | Requires wet saw - complex to cut |
| Colour options | Gold, Silver, Rose Gold, Brown, BrightGrey | Silver only |
Both are 3mm cast acrylic with a mirror coating applied to one side. The Taiwan-manufactured Golden and Silver mirrors are premium-grade with a higher reflectivity and surface quality - closer to a true glass mirror appearance. The JB series offers a broader colour range (BrightGrey, Gold, Brown, Silver, Rose Gold) at a lower price point. For applications requiring the highest possible mirror clarity, the Taiwan series is preferred; for colour variety and value, the JB series is a solid choice.
Yes. We cut mirror acrylic on our laser, CNC router and saw, and the cut to size configurator prices a part before you order. If you cut it yourself, keep the protective film on, start with a lower laser power or a fine-tooth blade, and test on an offcut first, because the mirror finish can chip or distort at the cut edge.
The Taiwan silver mirror is the closest to a glass mirror in reflectivity, but mirror acrylic generally has slightly lower reflectivity and more diffuse reflection compared to high-quality glass mirrors. For most decorative applications - display, décor, and signage - the difference is not visually significant. For applications requiring the highest optical reflectivity, such as scientific or precision imaging, glass mirror is the correct choice.
Use a soft, lint-free cloth (microfibre) with a small amount of mild soap and water or a plastic cleaner designed for acrylic. Never use abrasive cleaners, paper towels, or harsh solvents. The mirror coating on the back is protected by a film - avoid exposing the back coating to aggressive chemicals.
All mirror acrylic at FIDAR System is stocked in 4×8 ft sheets, 3mm thick. For any other size, the cut to size configurator prices the piece online before you order, from a single part to a few hundred.
It is shatter-resistant rather than unbreakable. A hard knock can crack an acrylic mirror, but it does not burst into sharp shards the way a glass mirror does, and at about 1.19 g/cm³ against roughly 2.5 for glass it weighs about half as much at the same thickness. That is why it is chosen for retail displays, events and anywhere a broken glass mirror would be a hazard.
Plastic mirror, acrylic mirror and mirrored acrylic sheet all mean the same product here: a 3mm cast acrylic sheet with a mirror finish, sold in 4x8 ft sheets. We hold seven finishes on the racks at our North York warehouse, sell them by the single sheet, and cut them to size on our own saw, CNC router and laser.
Most people who ask about it want one of three things: a sheet they can collect this week, a shape cut for them so they do not have to fight the mirror finish themselves, or to know whether it can do the job of a glass mirror. This section answers all three.

Every finish we hold, priced by the sheet and by the square foot from the same catalogue the checkout charges against. The series column shows which line each finish comes from: Taiwan is the premium line in gold and silver, JB the wider range of tones at a lower price.
Plastic mirror is the everyday name, and acrylic mirror and mirrored acrylic are the trade ones. Every finish in the table above is the same 3mm cast acrylic mirror sheet. They differ in tone and in series, not in what they are.
A hard knock can crack an acrylic mirror, but it does not burst into sharp shards the way a glass mirror does, and it weighs about half as much: about 1.19 g/cm³ against roughly 2.5 for glass.
A 3mm sheet flexes, and a mirror shows every bend as a ripple in the reflection. Fix it to a flat, rigid backing rather than an uneven wall, and the reflection stays true.
We stock mirror acrylic in two series. The Taiwan series comes in gold and silver and is our premium line, which is why it is the dearest in the price table. The JB series covers five tones, silver, light gold, rose gold, brown and BrightGrey, at a lower price per sheet.
If you need silver or gold, compare the two series side by side. If you need rose gold, brown or BrightGrey, the JB series is the only one that has them.
Both series are 3mm on a 4x8 ft sheet, and the stock column reads from the same inventory the shop sells against, so if it says in stock, it is on the rack. Other thicknesses and sheet sizes are not held.
Backs for jewellery cases, shelving and window displays, where a mirror doubles what is on show without the weight or the breakage risk of glass.
Feature walls, reception walls and furniture inserts, in tones such as rose gold and light gold as well as silver.
Cut-out letters, logo panels and awards. We cut mirror acrylic on the laser, the router or the saw, and the price is on screen before you order.
Backdrops and table pieces that have to be safe in a crowd and light enough to set up and strike in a day.
Some parts of a mirror job belong to someone else, and it is better said here than on the phone:
