      Hello. What materials do you use for the two way mirror?
      Glass, Acrylic, Foil?
      What is easier to make, and less expensive, and that you get a good effect? ​​

      Judging from your experience, and I believe that some have tried everything.
      Thanks to everyone for the recommendations.

        @mediahypno When I was looking at the mirror element, I would have gone with the built in glass or acrylic. I’ve gone bare screen now, though.

        The "E" in "Javascript" stands for "Easy"

          I guess to get both - easyness and cheapness is not possible…

          As far as I have seen pictures around and read several comments here in this forum I got the impression that best result will be with glass - this is kind of expensive.

          The cheaper version with Acrylic is not that “brilliant” and there are may some restrictions in the viewing angle.

          The least expensive so cheapest version is the foil - this is the far most complicated one because you have to apply the foil on some kind of Acrylic or glass which often fails due to bubbles, scratches, dust or whatever.

          I definitely wanted to go for glass.

          In the meantime I have decided to build up a “Magic Signage” not a mirror.
          This is caused by the fact that the already build up prototype is present since several weeks in our living room and we visit this beauty several times a day.
          So the final version will stay nearby - at least in the living room and a mirror at this place doesn’t make any sense to us.
          (initially planned was to replace the mirror in the hallway but this becomes obsolete for the above reasons)

          HTH,
          Regards,
          Ralf
