Mirrorlite Glassless Mirrors, Wall Mirrors, Dance Mirrors, Two Way Mirrors, Gym Mirrors, Ballet Mirrors, Mylar Mirrors and Mirror Ceiling Tiles

  EXHIBITION - For the designer, Mirrorlite™ mirrors introduce a new means for dramatic presentation. Lightweight and shatterproof, they enable the display of all sides of a product with ease and complete safety. Point of purchase displays, exhibitions and display cases are but a few examples of their versatility. Mirrorlite™ mirrors provide an excellent surface for silk screen printing. Patterns, pictures, words and advertisements can be color-printed permanently and clearly.

  ARCHITECTURE - The versatility of a Mirrorlite™ mirror enables it to adapt to creative demands. Mirrorlite™ ceiling and wall mirrors heighten visual perception of space with ghost-free clarity. Lower in-place costs allow space to be manipulated at will.

  MONITORING & SECURITY - Mirrorlite™ mirrors contribute to today's growing need for the protection of life and property. Inaccessible industrial processes can be monitored with easily installed light-weight Mirrorlite™ mirrors. For security and surveillance systems, mirrors can be placed in strategic locations. An unobtrusive, low maintenance system can be installed quickly and inexpensively.

  VISUAL AIDS - Mirrorlite™ mirrors are teaching tools for artistic and athletic instruction, Their safety, lightweight and portability find application in gyms, skating rinks, swimming pools, hospitals and health clubs. Mirrorlite™ mirrors are suitable for use as front surface mirrors in optical projection systems. Rear screen projection systems are easily devised.

  THEATRICALS - The lightweight, ease of fixturing and inherent safety make Mirrorlite™ mirrors a good choice for theatrical use. They are readily mounted for
 use on flying and pivoting scenery. Lighting can be directed to otherwise inaccessible locations. Special effects are possible with custom made two-way mirrors.

In architectural applications, recessed canister light fixtures and air diffusers are often encountered. Recessed circular lights, typically 4" to 8" in diameter, may be required to project through the ceiling. If the location is known, for example, in the exact center of the module, the mirror can be provided with the required hole. Where the location is not yet determined or other miscellaneous penetrations occur, such as sprinklers or display fixtures, holes can be cut at the job site. A soldering iron is used to melt the film and form the required hole in the film. Using this as a guide, the core can be cut with a sharp knife or circle cutter. The flange of the adjustable collar from the fixture should be slightly larger than the opening. The collar is brought up to, but not in contact with, the film surface.

Larger cutouts to accommodate air diffusers are made similarly. The diffuser should have a circular stub, although the collar may be rectangular. In general, penetrations must occur within the area enclosed by the perimeter aluminum frame of the mirror. Should the penetration be closer than 2" to the perimeter, the module should be changed as the frame cannot be penetrated.

Irregular ceiling perimeters may require non-rectangular mirrors. Individual requirements will be accommodated where possible according to shape and size.

As with other types of ceiling panels, a Hudson Mirror should be considered non-structural. Therefore, light fixtures and other projected elements must be independently supported from above the ceiling.

Other surface finishes are available in addition to standard silver. Semi-silvered mirrors are available for 2 way effects or as security mirrors. As there is no core in this type of mirror, physical construction varies from the standard mirror.

A limited selection of colors is available. Availability of colors should be confirmed before specifying. For large projects, consideration can be given to custom colors.

Outdoor use, while not specifically recommended, is possible for limited duration. Short term display or exhibit use in a sheltered location would probably be acceptable. The purchaser assumes responsibility for determining suitability.

While not intended as a sound absorber, a Mirrorlite™ mirror will absorb some acoustical energy, depending on frequency. Absorption is generally greater at higher frequencies. In any case, it does not reflect sound to the same degree as glass or metal.

The core of a Mirrorlite™ mirror is effective as thermal insulation. In the interest of energy conservation, particularly in air-conditioned structures, consideration should be given to the insulation value of a Mirrorlite™ mirror.
