Where to get (cheap) acrylic mirror from in Germany
-
A bright screen could be a solution. I must say that I did not test the mirrors of Myspiegel.de since I found a good solution in a local shop here in Stuttgart.
I did not make the experience that it is difficult to get a mirror in Stuttgart. But the prices the local glazier would have charged me for a 50 x 50cm mirror were around 150€! I found out that most glazier here do have the same sub supplier, called a glas shop (Google: Search for Glasgroßhandel + city). So I organized the address of the sub supplier (for Stuttgart: http://fluess-glas.de/), gave them a call and asked them, whether it is o.k. if I purchase the mirror directly from them. It ended up that I payed 80 € for the mirror, and it works excellent!
Steff: If worse comes to worst there is a glas shop 100km away from Munich in my home town in Ulm: http://www.glastroesch.de/glas/540-spionspiegel.html

@deepshades So did you buy one yet?
-
@marcel0024 no, haven’t bought one yet. Still thinking about the right fitting mirror, hate it.

I don’t get the point why myspiegel should not work. I’ve ordered last friday and will get it in this week. I will report.
But myspiegel seems to block each special request. I also asked for painted acryl for my kitchen but with my paint (same as kitchen cabinets) Their answer was in just one sentence: no.
Maybe they don’t like special requests and tell no before thinking about it.

In fact we are two guys in Munich looking to solve the problem. My colleague did not wnat to spend any more time, he ordered “his” mirror at myspiegel, so we will get some update from him soon. Secondly I spent some time to investigate further at the weekend. Contacted glastroesch in Ulm, they refused to sell to private persons ( thanks for the hint @Blamer ), after some friendly email discussions they recommended me a local glasshop in Munich Allach, they have been very friendly, they have one sample I can test, the only drawback will be a 40 min drive for me, so I have to coordinate this between job and family, once I do have some news here, I will post it.
In parallel i have written to some of the acrylic glas vendors noted in one of the previous posts. The answers from ALL of them was negative for 2 way mirrors ( modulor.de, buskunstoffhandel.de, expresszuschnitt.de). All of them replied me that they do not offer two way mirrors with acrylic glass.
Will keep you updated… -
@Blamer Did you have to pick it up yourself in stuttgart? or did they ship it? And what exactly did you ask for? spionspiegel? did you mention any specs?
-
@Steff Ordered mine today at http://www.glas-schaubeck.de/, 6mm thickness, could verify it beforehand with a sample, will get it next week, once done with it, will post it in the built mirror section.
-
Which technical details did you choose and what do they charge?
-
Yesterday i’ve got the MySpiegel.de mirror. I’m satisfied!
It is still packed in foil because the frame did not arrive, yet. So i will show pictures of it soon.
-
I’m also use one from myspiegel, they were very friendly and reliable. I’m satisfied with the result, will maybe post some pics when I’m done with the frame.
