Silver Flat Mirror Sheet

Installation Guide

General Installation and Fabrication:

• During installation and fabrication work, masking should be left on to protect the surface from scratches.
• The sheets should be stored in a horizontal position and a cool, dry place and wrapped in plastic to minimize water absorption.
• Acrylic mirror can be cold formed, thermoforming is not an option.
• Mirrored products are not recommended for exterior use, if the need arises and the product is used outdoors, seal the outside edge with sealant to keep moisture from attacking the mirror backing.
• Mirror sheets can be easily cut to any shape or size using standard acrylic fabricating techniques common within the industry.
• Mirrored acrylic is an Aluminium reflective layer applied to the substrate. When the substrate is affixed to another surface, both of these materials will in time confirm to the irregularities of the supporting surface. Irregular mounting surfaces will cause localized bending of the mirrored sheet and distortion will occur in the reflected image.

Fixing Using Tape:

Tapes should be laid in strips and kept away from all mirrored edges by 50mm.
No pre-primers should be used on the mirror backing paint.
Paper backing on all double sided tapes should be removed immediately.

Suggested Tapes:

• 3M VHB 4941
• Stylus 740

Fixing Using Adhesives:

Apply strips of adhesives, do not loop and should be approx. 80mm apart, never in blobs and 50mm from mirror edges. When mirror is pressed onto wall, strips of adhesive must not spread into, or touch one another. Do not seal around the edges of the sheet for approx. 10 days to allow air circulation.

Suggested Adhesives:

• Selleys liquid nails for MIRROR-METAL-GLASS.
• Bostik V60
• Everflex “Mirror Mate”

Important Notice:

As some adhesives/tapes may attack the mirror surface, only use adhesives/tapes that are recommended by the manufacturer as suitable for use on acrylic mirror. Using an incorrect adhesive will destroy the mirror coating. Therefore, if in doubt, it is important to test adhesives on expendable pieces for at least 72 hours prior, to determine suitability.

Cleaning Guide

Bennett Mirror Technologies recommend cleanning their acrylic mirror sheet with soap and water and then with a clean, soft, lint free, damp cloth. Use a non-abrasive polish, such as Johnson’s Pledge or Mr Sheen for a clear bright reflection.

Saturate a clean soft cloth with polish, then spray the mirror sheet with polish. Wipe the wetted cloth over the mirror surface. With a another clean dry cloth buff the mirror face until it is clear of polish.

DO NOT USE:

• abrasives
• acids
• solvents such as petrol and laquer thinners

Graffiti Removal:
Any graffiti should be removed from the mirror sheet as soon as possible and preferably within 24 hours. To remove graffiti, use a non-abrasive substance such as De-Solv-it Stain Remover. Not all graffiti cleaning agents are suitable. Failure to use an approved cleaning agent may damage the mirror surface.
