      Thanks for the replies.

      Back in december I already asked a glass company the exact same questiong about the difference in color. They also recommended me to use 3 times a 2 way mirror due to the color difference.

      Back then I got this invoice:

      1. 2 way mirror
      2. mirror clear
      3. mirror grey.
        offerte_december
        free image hosting

      Could anybody give me some more info about the type of 2 way mirror I have to order? I see here different percentages on the website. If the mirror is 8 mm thick, what is the best type?

        A possible solution to “carry” the mirrors istead of glueing would be the use of an aluminium strip on the bottom and top? anybody already used them and could share a picture?

          @kclemen I do believe there is one user on here that made a bathroom mirror with those, I’ll try to find the thread.

          Edit : Can’t find it, but I remember it looked quite sharp with the aluminium top and bottom!

            Today I’ve called the glas company if they can give me some more info about the type of spy mirror they can deliver me.
            They send me following information:
            spy_mirror
            gif upload 20mb

            So, if I’m correct, this type of mirror has a transmission of 15%. Any good?

              @kclemen 15% is close to the best “all-around” light transmission, will not work well next to a window during sunny days. 40% is recommended in really bright rooms.
              Bathrooms however isn’t usually superbright, so will work nicely. (mine is only 3% and I can’t do thin texts and lines, I have to beef up everything in size and use bold fonts)

                I’ve asked 3 companies to do me an offer. So, if I understand correctly, the 15% is "perfect’?

                  I’ve read an article a while back, they tried a bunch of different mirrors with a few light transmissions variations (1%, 12% 20% and 40% If I remember correctly). Their conclusion was that 12% was okey and 20% was the best of them all.

                  And with the combined information I’ve read (not tested in real life however!) is that the general guide line is :

                  Anything below 3% will not be useful, I would say 5% would be absolutely minimum.
                  8-10% for darker rooms with no windows and limited lighting
                  15-20% for normal lighting and not placed next to windows and/or in sunlight
                  40% for bright rooms with lots of daylight

                  Do note, that higher light transmission also makes your screen edges more visible, this is due to the backlight of the monitor. so if you have a 40% mirror in a bright room and then turn the lights down the edges of the screen will be clearly visible.

                    @kclemen said in Bathroom - 30" MagicMirror:

                    528x841 mm

                    Thanks for this clear info. I will probably than go for the 15% mirror.
