I’ve been looking at this, but not sure which one to go for
Which of the 2 options would work best with the mirror?

They do 2 variations of Pilkingtons Mirrowview glass, I have built 2 mirrors and thus have tried both the standard mirroview and the 50/50, Mirroview is great for rooms with little ambient light and has a better overall “mirror” quality to the glass, the 50/50 works well in very ambient spaces but the mirror has a bit of a green tint to it similar to the effect of getting glasses with an anti-glare protective coating. Highly recommend Mirrors and Glass, excellent customer service.

@MajorTingz Thanks for replying, I really appreciate your feedback.
I’m not sure what version of the glass I got, but there is a pic of it. https://twitter.com/cjdell/status/798292806502584320?s=09
I’m not happy with it at all, it just looks like a dull window and not a mirror.
I’ve been given some film, which I might try out but I really wanted to go with our glass.
What are your thoughts?

No problem, I went through different types of acrylic and glass samples before I settled on the mirroview. Here is a photo I took today of the standard Mirroview pane, I’ll try and do a comparison shot of the 50/50 as well.
I’m not going to lie, the text can be a bit difficult to make out when there is lots of ambient light but this mirror is being used in a bedroom with 1 window so it’s not really an issue, if you were setting one up in a space with a few windows then I would definitely go for the 50/50.
-
@MajorTingz and if you mirror has light on the back of it. So it lights up the wall around it. What would you recommend?
-
If I’m understanding correctly, you intend on hanging a mirror next to or between a couple of windows? if there is no light facing the mirror and therefore reflecting I would go for the standard mirroview. Mirroview 50/50 is good when there is a lot of ambient light reflecting in the mirror i.e. if you have windows on the left or right walls in relation to the mirror. Does that make sense?
-
The light is comming from a LED strip. The LED strip goes on the backside of the mirror frame, all way around. I can try to draw it, for better understanding if you want? :-)
-
In that case, the LED shouldn’t interfere at all, the mirror will only be affected by the light reflecting off it not behind it.
-
Okay. I’ll just have a looong talk with a local store :-)
Thank you for your time! -
where can we buy Mirro view 50/50 in Belgium or France ?
