Mirrored Acrylic Sheet 3mm x 600mm x 400mm

3mm Mirror, Coloured Extruded Acrylic Sheet from Perspex measures 600mm x 400mm. The surface of the sheet has a mirror finish.

Shatter proof, marr-resistant and 17x stronger than glass, they can be used indoors for decoration or outdoors in the garden.

As acrylic mirrors are more flexible than glass they must be fixed to a flat wall/surface. If you are fitting it to a wall which is not flat, it is best to fit it first to something rigid such as a piece of MDF.

Features:

• High gloss surface.
• Very low light transmission.
• Easily laser cut, drilled and thermoformed.

Applications:

Coloured Mirror, Extruded Acrylics sheets have many applications such as point of sale, model making, signs, artistic and architectural installation, casings, etc.

Working with Acrylic acrylic sheets:

Acrylic from Perspex is a versatile material that can be cut, drilled, laser cut and thermoformed.

Acrylic is a thermoplastic which means that when it is heated above 140-180°C it becomes flexible. This allows the material to be formed into the required shape or bent. Once the material cools below 85°C it becomes rigid again.

Acrylic sheets are often shaped using a CNC router or laser cutter. The edge of laser cut Acrylic has a pleasing polished look. If you look carefully at the edge of a piece of laser cut Acrylic you can often see slight vertical lines that are caused by the pulses a laser uses when cutting.

If you want to get a perfectly smooth finish on the edge of piece of machined Acrylic a polishing technique can be used. Typical polishing techniques include diamond polishing and flame polishing.

It also possible to etch the surface of a Acrylic sheet using a laser cutter. This can produce some very pleasing visual effects. The Acrylic sheets have a protective film on both faces. If you are etching the material then this should be removed from the surface that is to be etched. If you are just laser cutting then this film can be left in place (if you wish) as it does not create any harmful gases when it is laser cut (unlike PVC).
