Acrylic mirrors are becoming an increasingly popular alternative to traditional glass mirrors and have many benefits including safety which is particular important when placing mirrors in childrens rooms.
Acrylic mirrors have the same brilliant, highly reflective surface as glass mirrors but are much lighter, stronger, shatterproof and therefore much safer. The mirrors come with a protective film cover which prevents scratches and is easily removed when ready to mount.
The following instructions will help you to get the best results when installing your new mirror:
-
Carefully remove protective film from the mirror face. Do not use a sharp implement as it is likely to damage the surface.
-
Arrange the adhesive pads either as shown or as desired. Be sure to use a soft surface to lay the mirror on when applying the pads to avoid any scratching. The adhesive pads are strong and therefore cannot be moved easily after mounting.
-
Allow several weeks for newly painted walls to cure before attaching mirror.
-
When placing the mirror use a soft cloth to press firmly against the areas of adhesive pads to achieve maximum hold and avoid marks.
-
To clean the mirror use a soft cloth and anti static polish/cleaner.
-
Do not use glass cleaner or a solvent based cleaner.
-
For larger mirrors (above 30cm approx) it is strongly recommended that a silicone sealant is used in addition to the adhesive pads for extra hold. Place dabs in spaces between pads making sure not to touch any pads.
