6mm for 380€
3mm for 286€

Do you have experiences with this vendor? The price sounds rather fair, but they mention a light brown accent due to the reflection material. I’m curious how this looks like.

I got a whole mirror-test-set from glastroesch.
1%, 12%, 20%, 30% & 40%.
So i had the chance to do some test. The results:

12% when you use the mirror in a dark room & don’t want to see the casing
20% when you have a window or something like this next to the mirror
1%, 30%, 40% are not usable (1% you can’t see anything, 30&40% you see the bleeding of the backlight)

If you wanna know more, don’t hesitate to contact me :-)

Do you actually see the golden shine glastroech mentions on their website for 12% mirror glass?

Depends on the definition of “see”
I mean, it looks like a normal mirror to me but ofc you can see a little golden “glance”.
In my opinion it’s acceptable quality…
