What is a glassless mirror?
Glassless mirrors were originally developed in the early 1960’s by British Aerospace to lighten the payload on the aircraft. Since, the highly reflective lightweight material has been repurposed across many industries including in NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope.
Basically Glassless mirrors consist of a mylar film wrapped and heat shrunk over a rigid foam core which is framed with aluminium. Raised edges on this frame create an airspace designed to flex under minor impact without damage. This ‘dead air space’ also offers a positive thermal insulating value.?
This new technology offers a clearer and brighter reflection giving you a high definition image than your standard mirrors.
Mylar film surfaces are 90-92% reflective whereas your standard glass mirror is around 70%.

They are notably popular for use in?action-filled settings such as dance studios, gyms, and nightclubs.

Additionally, the?noise dampening ability of glassless mirrors is valuable?in these settings as they tend to be noisy.
