Like-for-like, Acrylic Safety Mirrors have the similar reflective qualities, but are much lighter, stronger and have far superior impact and shatter-resistance properties than ordinary glass mirrors.

MirrorWorld’s new Acrylic mirror make excellent bathroom mirrors, not only are they considerably lighter than the equivalent glass mirror making DIY installation so much easier (and safer), but they also have superior anti-misting properties.
