LED Mirrors are indispensable in modern architecture and home decoration. In the living room, bedroom or bathroom, you can choose your favourite mirror model to decorate.
There are many different models of LED mirrors and various configurations, both high and low. The main and most important component of the mirror – glass, there are many choices of it. With the progress of science and technology and the enhancement of people’s awareness of environmental protection, 5mm copper-free silver mirrors have gradually become the mainstream choice in the market by virtue of their unique advantages, which are also our main choice and advantage in the production process. I will take the Thames Collection as an example to bring you to know about this kind of glass.
Thames Collection LED bathroom mirror is a front illuminated mirror. It has vertical rectangular frosted areas on both sides. It’s made of a 5mm copper-free silver mirror.
The copper-free silver mirror we use has six parts: automotive grade float glass, mirror sensitised layer, mirror silver coating, anti-oxidant protective layer, waterproof protection layer and environmental protection waterproof protective layer. The “silver layer” is formed by chemical silver plating. The “protective layer” is usually tin or tin compounds to protect the silver layer.
Compared to regular mirrors, copper-free silver mirrors have several advantages.
First of all, a 5mm copper-free silver mirror has excellent environmental protection characteristics. Traditional copper-containing silver mirrors use copper in the production process, which may not only pollute the environment but also pose a potential threat to human health in the long term. Copper is a trace element and excessive exposure can lead to skin allergies or other health problems. Copper-free silver mirrors, on the other hand, use a more environmentally friendly silver-plating process that does not contain copper and other harmful substances, which fundamentally eliminates health hazards and meets modern people’s pursuit of green living
Secondly, the Copper-free silver Mirror excels in performance. The 5mm Copper-free silver Mirror is extremely reflective and delivers clear and bright images, thanks to its advanced silver plating technology and the perfection of its protective layer. The high-quality silver layer ensures that the mirror’s surface has outstanding brightness and excellent color reproduction, providing a realistic and natural visual effect, whether it is used for daily grooming or professional photography. In addition, without the interference of the copper layer, the copper-free silver mirror is more resistant to oxidation, less prone to spots or yellowing, and still maintains the cleanliness and clarity of the mirror surface over a long period of time.
Furthermore, the durability of 5mm copper-free silver mirror is more outstanding. Compared with traditional silver mirrors, copper-free silver mirrors are made with multiple layers of protection, including primer and topcoat, which not only enhance the hardness of the mirror surface but also improve its impact resistance. Even in humid or changeable environments, copper-free silver mirrors can maintain good stability and are not easy to be deformed, blistered or peeled off, which greatly extends the service life of the product.
Taken together, we can say that the 5mm copper-free silver mirror not only takes advantage of its environmental performance but also excels in reflectivity, durability and maintenance, making it an excellent choice in modern decorative materials.
Copper-free silver mirrors cost a lot more to produce than regular silver mirrors and are therefore more expensive. However, in order to improve the quality of our products and bring the best experience to our customers, we use copper-free silver mirrors for all of our LED mirrors. Choosing our mirrors will bring you a brand new experience, come and pick it up.
