Where to buy good two way mirrors ?

Wouldn’t the reflection you get by using their special glass be pretty close to none? I mean I am using a normal two-way-mirror and without a light attached the reflections aren’t that extrem and it’s supposed to be a mirror after all…

@paviro It’s still a 2 way mirror but they’re talking about the material it’s made out of. Here’s an example of a smart mirror using their Vanity Vision Glass from their website:

Looks like their “Vanity Glass” has a 70% reflection and 25% transmission. The Dielectric however has a 40 reflection and 60% transmission, designed for very bright rooms. They have a comparison of the different types of glass on their site: http://www.twowaymirrors.com/smart-mirror/

I think mine has 70% reflection and 30% transmission. Okay I understand it now so their Dielectric would only make sense in bright environments.

Aaaaand that “Vanity Glass”, at the size of the monitor I’m using (22x15), with polished edges, would cost $600 … I’m actually afraid to see what the full size that I plan to use would cost.

Ok, I checked … $2k. I’ll get right on that. :)

Haha hence why I went with the acrylic. It cost around $60.

Waaaaaah :D My mirror is 21" (I think not sure right now to be honest) cost 70€ so about 80$ :)

I paid €60,- for 24".

Yeah, the acrylic, at the monitor size (22x15), would be about $103 … But I’m putting it on a wall, a much larger piece … that’s gonna be 'spensive!

This is an adress for Switzerland, where I’ll buy my mirror.
