Silver Mirrored Acrylic Details
Please see below for our advice on installation.
Our Silver Mirrored Acrylic Sheets come in both 3mm and 5mm thicknesses. They are perfect to use as gym mirrors, or in your home gym as well as as an equestrian stable mirror. They are also commonly used in bathrooms and on door backings to allow spaces to reflect more light into the room. Perspex® Acrylic Sheets are half the weight of glass, but double the strength, so you can rest assured that they will be a safer alternative to a glass mirror. All of Perspex® Mirrored Acrylic comes with the industry's toughest and most durable backing to protect your mirror.
All of our Mirrored Acrylics are versatile and weather resistant, so they make for a great addition outside of the home too as an acrylic garden mirror. They are UV resistant, so you don’t have to worry about them discolouring from sun rays or harsh weather conditions. They are also easy to clean and maintain with some warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth.
When you purchase your cut-to-size Acrylic Sheets from us, you can expect great customer service, fast delivery, and expert cutting techniques to ensure the accuracy of +/- 1mm. We also supply our mirrored sheets in a variety of colours, so if you are looking for something more creative, or want to match a colour in your home, take a look at our coloured mirrors. Alternatively, have a look at our Coloured Acrylic if mirrored is not the finish you would like. Please order a sample if you are unsure of the colour or finish you would like before you place your final order.
DIY Wedding Sign Collaboration
We partnered with Nicola (@athomewithmrss on Instagram) to create a custom wedding sign using our 5mm silver mirrored acrylic, cut to the perfect arch shape. Watch how she uses our website to input her dimensions and rounded corners, and then she uses Cricut to personalise the sign for her big day! Our mirrored acrylic is ideal for weddings, events, and more and can be cut to your specific dimensions!
"Mirrored welcome signs seem to be everywhere at the moment, but having very small children at our wedding I didn't want a huge piece of glass that could potentially be knocked over! So Cut My to the rescue with their mirrored acrylic, fully customisable to your own specifications on their easy to navigate website. I then used my Cricut to add personalised lettering and voila! - it went down an absolute storm"
Buying and Installing Silver Mirrored Acrylic Sheets
When buying and installing our mirrored acrylic sheets, we recommend the following steps to achieve the best results:
1. Thickness and Sizing Recommendations: For larger mirrors (such as over 1000mm in width or length), there is a higher chance of a distorted image being reflected. We recommend opting for the 5mm thickness silver mirror to minimise image distortion as a thicker acrylic reduces the flexibility.
2. Backing Material: Ensure that the surface you are applying the mirrored acrylic to is flat and even. For optimal results, especially with larger mirrors, it is crucial to back the acrylic mirror onto a hard board, such as 18mm MDF backing (which we can cut to size too!). This provides stability and helps reduce image distortion.
3. Check Your Mirrored Acrylic Sheet: All our mirrored acrylic sheets come with a protective film on the front side. Remove this film before installation to inspect the product for any damages. Note that we cannot offer refunds or replacements for installed products, so please check thoroughly before proceeding to install.
4. Adhesive: We recommend using our all-in-one non-solvent adhesive for installation. Make sure to apply the adhesive evenly to the surface using a roller for a secure fit. While this method is the most common and provides a smooth, professional finish, you can also use an appropriate drill bit for mechanical fixing if preferred.
5. Professional Installation: If you're uncertain about the installation process, we strongly recommend hiring a trained professional to ensure a high-quality reflection and secure installation.
Please Note: Some degree of distortion may still occur due to the flexible nature of acrylic mirrors. This is not a manufacturing defect but an inherent characteristic of the material. Please keep in mind that your purchase includes the mirrored acrylic only, without a frame or mount.

Key Features Silver Mirrored Perspex® Sheets
Versatile
With shatter-resistant properties, our Silver Mirrored Perspex® sheets have 10 times the impact resistance compared to traditional mirrors. Due to their strong durability, they also make a great addition outside of the home, such as a garden feature. In addition to its shatter-resistant properties, it is a safer mirror to have around children and/or pet-friendly home.
Inexpensive
As a far cheaper alternative to traditional mirrors, our Silver Mirrored Acrylic offers the same clear reflection and provides better durability.

Keeping your Silver Mirrored Acrylic clean and hygienic is also easier to maintain than a mirror, as all that is required is warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth.
Lightweight
Silver Mirrored Perspex® sheets weigh half as much as an equivalent glass mirror, making installation, transportation, and handling an easier option.
Weather Resistant
With both UV and weather resistance, our Silver Mirrored Perspex® sheets can withstand the most severe of weather conditions, making them fantastic alternatives to glass mirrors outdoors whether in the garden or as a feature in stables.
Malleable
Our Silver Mirrored Perspex® can easily be cut and drilled by us to suit your requirements.
100% Recyclable
Perspex® Acrylic is 100% recyclable. Waste products can readily be recovered from the original raw material (the monomer) and re-used in a new sheet.
Perspex® has been manufactured in the UK for over 85 years and still takes place on the same site in Lancashire as it did in the 1930s. This short supply distance to our UK customers helps reduce ‘product miles’ from the manufacturing plant to the end user.
Numerous different investments have already been made by Perspex® to lessen the impact on the environment. Annual waste consumption has been reduced by 24 million litres, and almost 800 tonnes of carbon dioxide have been saved every year as part of a hot water recycling project. At Cut My, we work to be more sustainable by using all of our offcuts to heat our manufacturing facility. We are also currently working towards reducing our packaging.
