Question about the mirror

[RedNax]

Whilst on a quest for a mirror my local glazier told me the mirrors are EXTREMELY prone to scratches… IS this true? Do any of you have experience with this? It came as rather a shock as these are ‘confrontation’ mirrors… It’s not unreasonable to expect violence against them when used as such…

Acrylic mirrors, sure. Glass mirrors, while you can still scratch them, they do last a lot longer than acrylic ones. ANY mirror is prone to scratches, it’s how you treat it that depends how long it lasts.

The reflective coating on the glass is a bit more prone to scratching as it can’t have a protective coating. But to be honoust: My 2 year old MagicMirror doesn’t have any scratches.

Like I mentioned, how you treat your mirror will depend on how long it lasts. Using abrasive cleaners is bad, but a clean, damp, micro fiber cloth goes a long way.

It’s just the way they said it: (dutch alert) “6mm confrontatiespiegel, let op: ZEER KRASGEVOELIG” that startled me… It seemed that the simple act of cleaning it might scratch it…

Averything’s done… just the mirror…

Thanks, i’ll take the plunge

It’s as if the glass shops don’t want to sell it. They gave me so many useless warnings when I bought mine …

It’s a warning, sure. And perhaps their product is indeed easily scratched. Ask around, go a different place or vendor, see what kind of response you get.
