Mirrors?

[SubNit 10+ year member]

So I notice that some of the plexiglass/mdf enclosure's I've seen will use a mirror of some sort. Is this an actual glass mirror or is there a particular film you can attatch to the panels of mdf such as a reflective mylar film?

Using an glass mirror just doesn't make sense to me so I was wondering what's the deal here

Thanks in advanced for any help

Chrome vinyl layed atop the lexan.

But can you buy chrome vinyl that is as reflective as a normal mirror or atleast close to? Most of the chrome vinyl is reflective but with poor quality

Lay it on nice. Maybe Lay it on nice, and then put another piece of lexan on the front of it, kinda sandwiching it?

What do you mean "lay it on nice"? Do you mean smooth?

Of course.

Of course.

Alright then thanks for the advice. If you could, let me know if you come across any chrome vinyl that is as reflective as a normal mirror. I just can't find anything

Still open to suggestions

If you get some and have a good amount left over, let me know i could use it on my install. just lay it on some plexi/ acrylic and just act like ur tinting a window
