    • Where to buy cheap two way glass?

      Hey all,

      I’m trying to build a magic mirror for my bathroom, about 27"x33" in size (the display will be a 21" monitor in one corner). I bought some glass samples a while back from two-waymirrors.com, and was very happy with how it looked. Sold on the quality, I went to buy a mirror from them and found it was almost $500!!

      Are there any cheaper suppliers for two way glass in the US? I know acrylic and gila film are two alternatives, but I’d really like to get real glass if possible. Thanks.

      Edit - Just to add, I’d be willing to pay up to $300for a 27"x33" two way mirror. If no such supplier exists, though, I think I may have to start looking at alternatives. :(

      Edit 2 - I remeasured my bathroom, and it turns out the mirror I need is a bit smaller than I thought, so I edited the above dimensions and estimated price. This is still outside my price range, so I’m hoping someone knows of a cheaper supplier.

    • RE: How similar is the reflection of Glass+Gila Film to a typical bathroom mirror?

      Thanks for the response. I ended up buying a two way mirror sample (1/8" thick) from twowaymirrors.com. As long as the monitor is completely flush against the back of the mirror, the reflection is identical to that of a regular mirror. :) So I think I’ll go with a real two way mirror as opposed to a film.

      Cheers!

    • How similar is the reflection of Glass+Gila Film to a typical bathroom mirror?

      Hi all,

      I’m putting together a parts list for a magic mirror to go in my bathroom. The plan is to have a mirror that is roughly 30"x40", with a 24" LED monitor in one of the corners as the display. For the mirror I was going to use 1/8" clear glass with Gila mirrored window film.

      I want this to be the main mirror in my bathroom, meaning I’d like it to have nearly identical reflective properties as a standard bathroom mirror. Does anyone here have a magic mirror in their bathroom, who can comment on how similar (or different) its reflection is to a typical mirror? I’ve seen some pictures and the lighting/tint appears to be off in some of them, but I don’t know if that’s just the camera.

      Thanks!
