Where to get (cheap) acrylic mirror from in Germany
-
@Blamer Did you have to pick it up yourself in stuttgart? or did they ship it? And what exactly did you ask for? spionspiegel? did you mention any specs?
-
@Steff Ordered mine today at http://www.glas-schaubeck.de/, 6mm thickness, could verify it beforehand with a sample, will get it next week, once done with it, will post it in the built mirror section.
-
Which technical details did you choose and what do they charge?
-
Yesterday i’ve got the MySpiegel.de mirror. I’m satisfied!
It is still packed in foil because the frame did not arrive, yet. So i will show pictures of it soon.
-
I’m also use one from myspiegel, they were very friendly and reliable. I’m satisfied with the result, will maybe post some pics when I’m done with the frame.

Hi,
I am also using a glass from myspiegel.de.
Built the mirror quite some time ago, almost 2 years by now.I’m satisfied with the glass, but indeed it looks “darker” and a bit more grey than a standard mirror.

@thk That looks great!!
@Steff said in Where to get (cheap) acrylic mirror from in Germany:
Kindly apologize, seems like the link was not really working:
http://www.pilkington.com/de-de/de/produkte/produktkategorien/spezialglaeser/pilkington-mirroviewThat’s probably the best possible option, since it’s advertised to be used with TVs and screens. Have you already asked them how much that mirror costs?
EDIT: I just found a youtube video displaying the 50/50 version for high ambient light… that looks really good imho!

I found something else: http://www.glas-per-klick.de/spiegel-antikspiegel/spionspiegel.html
since the small one (20x30cm) is pretty cheap I’ll just order one and try it out. I’ll keep you posted. -
@dbahn25
I did ask Several glaciers in Munich for an offer of the Pilkington glass, however no one was able to provide an offer ( seems to be difficult to get a " Grosshändler" beeing able to sell this glass.
@yawns
Kindly apologize for the late answer, I just received the mirror and the invoice last week and I was on travel for several days. I paid tremendous 120 Eur for the glass, however, I “just wanted” it and they were extremely friendly, I can only tell you that it is from Glass Fuess, 6mm thickness, I do not have more data, but I can tell you, it really looks great. Currently assembling the frame, will post some pictures latest in two weeks, Regards Stefan -
@Steff
No need to apologize, this is just a fun thing, we all have our real live and more important stuff to do.
Did they ship the mirror or did you have to pick it up your self? -
Hi,
following your conversations since a few weeks, guess what ?! I have the same trouble in finding a two way mirror.
Thanks for all the helpfull comments, tough i still strougle to find a feseller that i can afford ;-) Today i was at a glazier, his answer was roughly 220€ for that kind of mirror in 60x60cm. Still trying to find alternatives online…I came across this webpage and there was an interessting side note: “Smart-Mirror können mit Spionspiegeln nur bedingt erstellt werden, dazu sind schwach reflektierende Spiegel besser geeignet. Diese können von uns bestellt werden, unterliegen aber einem Mindestbestellwert.” (Quote: http://www.glaserei-kater.de/spionspiegel.html) Which translates roughly into: Spymirrors/two way mirrors arent the most suitable for a smartmirror, the best should be a low/weak reflecting mirror.
Any ideas about that ? First time I hear from that kind of mirrors and no real products to find on the internet under the phrase “schwach reflektierender Spiegel”.
@dbahn25 The UK Side you mentioned doesnt ship to Germany do they ?
-
A couple of weeks ago I found this link where several mirrors had been tested (German). The pros and cons are listet in detail and the test results seems to be comprehensible to me: https://glancr.de/development/test-spionspiegel-fuer-smart-mirrors/
Maybe that helps if somebody is in doubt in the right mirror material.

Here are pictures of a mirror by myspiegel.de + frame of bilderrahmen-passt.de
The mirror is darker than another ones i saw on pictures. It’s not a mirror for makeup ;)
But im satisfied and my wife, too! It does look very fine and beautiful with the darkness of the glass.If you expect a real shiny mirror like in your bathroom myspiegel.de is the wrong shop for you.
Regards

@yawns
I picked up the mirror myself. They had a sample in their glasshop which I tested with my setup directly in their shop. Since I did like the result, I decided to order it from them. Stefan -
@DirkS
Where do you hide all the technical stuff ? Is that a “rigips” wall ? -
@Novcheck check this
-
@DirkS Nice thank you - was a bit confused, how you “shrunk” the stuff down ;-)
-
With the power of Hilti ;)
-
Thank you very much for the link to “bilderrahmen-passt.de”. I don’t know about this online shop. The frames looking really great and i have ordered one. So i’m looking forward to the finish of my Smart Mirror :-)
-
@compoti you’re welcome! :D The quality is pretty good and the price as well! I have seen frames with a price around 100 € which had not such a good quality. Now it had a price of 35 € with freight charge.
