Silver mirror vs aluminum mirror vs copper-free mirror vs temperable mirror

First Let’s take what’s the aluminum mirror, silver mirror, and copper-free mirror.

There’re many mirror options in the market with different pricing, but maybe you don’t know exactly why the prices are different, and cannot identify which is the aluminum mirror, silver mirror, and copper-free mirror.

Aluminum mirror:

Aluminum Mirrors reflect only 90% of the light, which means you get a less vibrant reflection and colors from the mirror itself.

Although they are a cheaper option, most of the time these mirrors come with waving issues and their coating is thinner, which makes it easier to scratch.

Aluminum being a more reactive metal compared to Silver oxidizes much faster in the presence of moisture, not the ideal case for a mirror you want to install in your bathroom or the exterior.

1. Aluminum mirror is not water-resistant, cannot be used in humid surroundings like bathrooms or places near the seaside.

2. It is not recommended to be used for beveling or high polished.

3. AAA-Plus version can be the substitute for a silver mirror.

Silver mirror:

Silver Mirrors reflect up to 95% of the light spectrum, they are popular among women due to their vivid reflection and much warmer colors.

Despite their higher cost, most consumers prefer it, and until a few years ago it was a synonym of quality in Mirrors.

Silver-coated layers are also much thicker and rust-resistant, and despite being cleaned with more corrosive chemicals they last longer than aluminum mirrors. In some cases with good care, Silver Mirrors can last up to three years without getting oxidized.

1. The reflected image is clearer, more precise, more realistic, and the edges are more corrosion-resistant.

2. Tempered mirror, you can first temper the glass and then paint the mirror

Copper-free mirror:

Copper-free mirrors are made out of the silver coating as its main reflective material, which allows them to give that vibrant reflection that women love so much from the Silver Mirror.

But at the same time, it has several improvements that make it a higher quality mirror compared to silver.

1. Highly reflective

2. True image reflectance with virtually no distortion

3. Quality Italy FENZI paint, which resists acid and moisture.

4. Superior ferric chloride resistance

5. Reduces the occurrence of black edge corrosion

6. Improved resistance to mastics containing acetic acid and oximes

What’s the temperable mirror?

The Temperable mirror uses Nano-composite dielectric materials through our new coating technology, it’s a reflective mirror.

The temperable Mirror has high temperature-resistant, high machinability, can be hot bending, tempered, insulating, laminated.

As we know, the Silver and aluminum mirror, a copper-free mirror can’t be tempered.

The temperable mirror is a safety mirror.
