What we can do for you

We can immediately ship you any size first surface mirror (also known as front surface mirrors), including very large sizes. Our acrylic mirrors are inexpensive, and can be used for general use. Our glass mirrors are much higher quality, and are ideal for optical projects. Relative to other first surface mirrors, they are more flat and have a more consistent mirror coating from edge to edge.

What are first surface mirrors?

First surface mirrors are made for applications requiring a strict reflection without a ghosting effect as seen with a second surface mirror - where a faint secondary reflection could be observed, coming from the front surface of the glass. This includes most optical applications where light is being manipulated in a specific manner. Telescopes, projection televisions, and periscopes use this type of mirror.

First surface mirrors do not have a gap
between an object and its reflection


Standard back-coated mirrors have a gap
