      @mykle1 Duh, don’t know why I didn’t do a search first…

      As always, thanks for the help though! Managed to find a comparison on a small YouTube channel as well as a gallery on Imgur. Seems foil is, as you say, do able but makes for a cheap look.

        I think some have used this with some success:

          @Mykle1 is right when he says foil gives it a more cheap look.

          I like how you transformed what I said instead of actually quoting me. Not that it matters much, but still, very interesting. :-)

            @mykle1 and for some, like me, covering a 50 inch tv ‘mirror’ with real glass is wildly expensive…

                @sdetweil agreed I was covering a 40inch but that went pear shaped and that tv died so now I’m slumping it with a 32inch glass gives it a really good look though. This project turned from an inexpensive project to something costing me a couple of hundred and I’m still not done yet, just waiting for my mate to measure up and build a frame for me, can’t wait to unveil it 😂

                  @mdhenriksen … thanks bro, this is helpful to me. this could be cheap but for me its $29+shipping to india, but glass and acrylic here seems even more costly… i have to show the videos to the glass makers and other sellers to make them understand what this 2way mirror is and does… Finally i am thinking to order this from amazon and try it… currently i am working to setup MM on my 8" touchscreen windows tablet and my 50" TV 😃 and ya your pictures are really great… Thanks again.

                    Also based in Denmark like @mdhenriksen and considering going the foil route for a frameless 32" bathroom mirror. What about interglas.dk? Have you tried them? I’m contacting them tomorrow to see what the price is - as the in-site calculator they have says for 70x40cm the mirror is 50€ + shipping :astonished_face:
