Where to get (cheap) acrylic mirror from in Germany

[dbahn25]

Hi guys,
I love the smart mirror! Do you know any place in or around Freiburg, Germany (local) or online shops that ship to German addresses where I could get a mirror from that doesn’t cost too much? (I’m a poor student, you know)
I don’t mind acrylic glass or even a good foil (I already tried a chinese one though, terrible result. Don’t waste those 3$!).
Thanks!

This vendor was mentioned some time ago. I will call some local glaziers, but will give myspiegel.de a chance if prices are far off.

I have already contacted myspiegel a couple of weeks ago and they told me that their mirrors are not suitable for this project. According to them the glas materials is too dark. I think they received a lot of calls the last couple of months since this project was described on german television (“Galileo”).
The only supplier I found in Stuttgart was Glass Flüss: http://fluess-glas.de/
Guess I paid ~ 80€ for 50 x 50 cm. Hope that helps a bit.

I also called a local glazier for the semitransparent mirror, they told me it would be around 80€ as well… I was looking for something rather like what they sell on cutplasticsheeting.co.uk (search for “two way acrylic mirror”), since that is much cheaper than a real mirror and supposed to be optically just as good.

At this moment i found following sites:

• https://expresszuschnitt.de/Acryl-Spiegel-Acrylglas
• http://www.acrylglas-shop.com/Acrylglas-PLEXIGLAS/Acrylglas-XT-Spiegel/Acrylglas-XT-Spiegel-silber-Staerke-3mm.html
• https://www.modulor.de/acrylglas-xt-spiegel-silber-glatt.html

• http://www.glashandbuch.de/catalog/7_1_2_chromspiegel/1b5c5e5e-6932-47be-b1ad-a593b128b73f.aspx

Das sind bisher die Produkte, wo ich am überlegen bin

That’s interesting. This guy ( http://blog.tobias-weis.de/smarter-smartmirror/ ) uses the myspiegel.de mirror and is more than happy with it.

And definetily it looks pretty good.

Adding one more link to a mirror glas from Pilkington - which in my personal opinion - would be a perfect solution:

I am living in Munich and we have already contacted quite a few glaciers in Munich trying to buy a magic mirror glas (even contacted one glacier in Rosenheim) and up to now we have not been successful.
Honestly I am attempted to buy the glas at myspiegel.de since - at least in the Munich area - it seems impossible to find a local glacier beeing capable to supply a spy mirror.
I have read the posts mentioning Stuttgart and Switzerland, however this is a little bit too far for me just to purchase the glas.
Any comments/ success story from someone in Munich area more than welcome

For what did you exactly ask?
Spionspiegel?
2-Wege-Spiegel?
Venezianischer Spiegel?

I made the experience that most off the glaciers had no clue but after i explained it or used the names above, they had some solution for me…

Thanks for the fast reaction:
We did ask for Spionspiegel and - after having the feeling that it might not be completely clear - explicitely for the Pilkington glas, however did not (yet) find someone capable to sell what we are looking for.
