Features of the stainless steel mirror

Among our made-to-measure products, one stainless steel stands out from the rest for its exceptional finish : mirror 304 stainless steel. Practical and easy to install, we’ve decided to list and illustrate its various advantages over traditional glass mirrors.

Mirrore stainless steel is impact-resistant

Unlike glass mirrors, stainless steel mirrors are much more resistant to the slightest impact. With this unbreakable mirror, you’ll be able to innovate your interior decoration without worrying about the feasibility of installation.

You can install it in any room in the house, even in unusual places. Install it as the base of a decorative hood in your kitchen, or as a tap plate in your bathroom.

Stainless steel mirror is heat and water resistant

As with glass mirrors, mirror stainless steel is resistant to temperature changes and water splashes. But it has a considerable advantage over conventional mirror because it can be installed in a kitchen without worrying about high temperatures.

For your information: The only product that can withstand the heat of a hob or gas hob is tempered glass. However, it is still very expensive to buy compared with stainless steel.

The stainless steel mirror is lightweight

The proposed thickness of this material is 1.5 mm. This makes it much lighter than a glass mirror of the same dimensions. For a conventional glass mirror, the minimum thickness is 4 mm, which is considerably thicker than mirror stainless steel.

This lightness makes it easy to install, with no need for special structures. A real plus when it comes to installing it without any problems (depending on its dimensions) by sticking it to a wall or other surface.

You can simply use it in your hanging creations without worrying about its weight. For a quality installation, we recommend that you glue your stainless steel plate to the ceiling using a mastic-glue.
