@tgriffo Thanks, I can see them now. It looks better than I thought a film would actually.
I bought this film the other day, should have it this week.

@clumsy_ninja howdy - it’s been a while - how did that 15% mirror tint roll from eBay go ?

I thought Id share a list of Australian glass suppliers that appear to supply one-way mirror glass (I am sure there are lots more, but this is what I found in Google).
FYI I have emailed a couple and are yet to hear back, but YMMV. If they receive multiple enquiries they may be more likely to start supplying this type of glass in the small sizes required for smart mirrors.

Hi Guys,
I’m gathering all the hardware items, and I’m sourcing 2 way mirror but it seem like they not an easy type mirror to get, anyone here has completed their project with 2 way mirror that they managed to get in Australia? I’m from Canberra.

@bellroy Like many others on this thread, I’m currently stuck on the 2 way mirror part. I’ve hit up a few local places with no luck, thinking of trying the Bunnings option mentioned above. If you do find a place that isn’t exorbitant in price, please be sure to let us know!

These guys are in China but have free shipping to Aust. They do have min order quantities. I got three 300x300x1mm sheets for just over $20. Biggest they have is 1200x600x1mm and six of those would be just under $300, free shipping.

@AlexMelb let me know when you post the results, I am looking for a mirror to cover my 10.1" touchscreen.

Well it took… oh wow, 2 months haha, but okay! I have actually found someone in Melbourne who will provide and cut to size some good quality mirror glass. Prices seem very reasonable too, $100 quote for a piece that will suit a 24 inch monitor (with room to spare around the edges). I’ve just picked up my order and it looks gooooddd (see image, and pardon the face xD)
You can contact them at www.msglass.com.au, and they supply MirrorKote which can have either a grey or silver coating. Silver definitely looks best.
Can’t wait to build a frame around this bad boy!

@inversation
Nice reflections and still a good quality of the text behind the mirror in the lower half. I guess the upper part is blurry because of your cameras focus and the missing enclosure and too much backlight?
