      Here is my frameless mirror project. I like this style a lot.

      Here you can see the difference between the 12 % and 20 % mirror.
      The room has big windows.

      12%:

      20%

        interesting. Thanks for showing the difference between 12% and 20% so clearly.
        Is the 12% better readable if you use the shutter to darken the room?

          my first mirror was built with a 12 % in a “darker” room.
          There is no big window on the other side of the room:
          https://forum.magicmirror.builders/topic/117/bangee-s-mirror/16

          I’ll post another project with a 12 % mirror.

          the reflection of the 12% is golden. the 20% has a natural reflection.

          I’ts hard to decide ;-)

              I did it by my self.
              The glass is a 4mm two way mirror and the frame is aluminium 1.5 mm.

              and the complete mirror is about 5 cm thick

                Your Mirror looks awesome. Which components did you used to built the Mirrorframe and furthermore, how did you manage that the mirror is fixed on the Display?

                Kind regards from Bayreuth, Germany.

                  Hi @PaulB

                  I’ve used an aluminium sheet, 1.5 mm thik. I made a sketch and went to a Sheet metal processing company.
                  But the coast are very high. :-)

                  The fixing is included in to the mirrorframe and its built in one pice of aluminium.

                    @Bangee Your mirror looks so well, but I think I am going with a frame made out of wood for my first attempt. Nevertheless I am very interested in your mirror project, and still looking for a way to rebuild it with wood.

                        @Bangee that Looks so great!
                        I’m looking into planning my frame at the moment. How do you attach the Monitor to the mirror and how do you place it on the wall, could you please add some information/pictures on that?
                        Thanks!

                          Hi @binderth
                          The monitor is put in the frame and hold by the glass and some lashes.

                          This frame very thin an built with 1.5mm aluminium.
                          The Weight ist only 1 kg.
                          I’ve used a 3mm 12% twoway mirror.

                          If someone is interested in this, I will produce some more pices.

                          PM me if you’re interested in it.

                            Looking great, hope you get the PIR working.
                            I will appreciate if you share you work(step) to your finishing mirror. Trying to upgrade my mirror with PIR sensor in the future. So your step/choice would help me later on.

                              Wow… I was actually thinking of getting a 3% mirror. Will rethink that. What display are you using? Is it a 250cd/m² one?

                                  @Bangee Looks looks really great! I love how you integrated the PIR into the mirror itself.

                                  What did you use to cut the hole? Was it difficult? Were you concerned about breaking the glass?

                                    I’ve ordered the mirror with the hole in it.
                                    I don’t know how to do this by your selve :-)

                                      Can you show how you built that case/frame for your frameless mirror? I would love to do a similar build, cause I am almost done with my own smart mirror, I finished everything - EXCEPT THE FRAME…been putting off what frame to get.
