What size should I order the mirror?
The great thing about the Glass Smart Mirror is that it is highly reflective, so you can do any mirror size and use a smaller
display behind the mirror and it will vanish completely. In our most popular framing instructional guides, we are cutting the
mirror to be the same size as the overall size of the TV.
Which is better to use, a monitor or TV?
If you’re making a small smart mirror, a tablet is often the best choice because it is thin and smart mirror apps are easy to find now. For a large smart mirror, it’s generally better to use a TV, preferably a thin TV. A TV typically has a flat backside and you can turn it on and off with a remote straight through the mirror.
Can the mirror be larger than the display?
Yes, if you’re not using a touch overlay. Simply back paint the backside with black paint everywhere except the TV and IR sensor.We recommend masking off the area with blue painters tape, and using a paint that works well on glass such as Black Rust-Oleum UltraCover 2x.
What are the advantages/disadvantages of tempering?
Tempered glass is heat-treated to increase the strength 10x. In addition, if tempered glass should break, it breaks into small shards which are less sharp than regular glass. The main disadvantage of tempered glass is that it causes distortion, similar to a fun-house mirror effect. For that reason, it’s generally not recommended unless going in a public installation.
How close of a match is it to a standard mirror?
The glass smart mirror has been formulated to match a standard mirror exactly when they are side by side. No longer do you need to order matching mirrors for the other mirrors in the room.
Can I drill holes in this material?
Yes, you can drill holes in non-tempered glass and acrylic. Please contact us for a price quote.
What should I use to clean my Smart Mirror?
One of the best features of our glass mirrors is that the mirror coating is extremely durable. You can clean it with standard
glass cleaner and paper towels without worrying about scratches. The acrylic is a lot more prone to scratches, but no more so than regular acrylic. Novus 1 cleaner and Polish Mates are recommended to minimize abrasion and repair small scratches.
