Colors of Mirrors
     Today’s mirrors come in a wide variety of colors, making it easy to select ones that reflect your individuality.  Silvering glass that has already been colored creates colored mirrors. Colored mirrors come in a variety of colors including gold, pink, peach, green, blue, bronze, gray and black. Colored mirrors enhance value by adding a touch of uniqueness and flair.  Whether you want the mirror to “disappear" to “make a statement” or simply to do a job, there is a product for you.

Clear Mirror: Clear glass with a silver backing, copper and paint. This is the standard mirror used in the majority of applications. Thicknesses are 3/32, 1/8, 3/16 and 1/4 inch. The largest standard size is 65” x 84” with other sizes available if custom ordered.

Ultra Clear Mirror: Made with glass with a reduced iron content. The glass itself does not have the very slight greenish tinge in found in clear mirror, making it appropriate for fur salons and all white interiors where absolute clarity is a must.

Colored or Tinted Mirror: Color is first added to the glass, which then receives the silver backing. Typical colors available are gold, pink, peach, bronze, gray, black, green and blue.
  • Gold mirrors are popular in restaurants since they flatter the appearance of patrons.
  • Pink and peach mirrors also flatter and work well in dressing rooms and exercise areas.
  • Bronze, gray and black mirrors make dramatic architectural statements and create subtle reflections of people.
  • Green mirrors are recommended for plant display areas, but are unflattering for people.
  • Blue mirrors create the illusion of coolness and water and are especially popular in warmer climates such as Florida.
