Here at The Plastic People, we cut our acrylic mirror to the exact size or shape you need. Our mirrors are a safer alternative to glass.
That's because they are shatter proof, mark-resistant and 17x stronger than glass.
As a result, they’re ideal for use in public spaces, outdoor areas and are even popular in dance studios, gyms and gardens.
If you'd like to create the feeling of a larger garden, a lighter garden or perhaps make a special feature or two – garden mirrors cut to size are perfect.
Our mirrors can also be used indoors. In the home, they can be used as child safe mirrors for playrooms - and as mentioned above, they’re also common in fitness studios.
You can even place an acrylic cut to size mirror inside stables. Horse mirrors are safe alternatives to glass – and still provide the animals with that element of comfort and companionship.

If you are bonding Mirrored Acrylic to wood, brick, plaster and other wall substrates, check out our acrylic mirror adhesive which can be successfully used without any adverse effect on the mirrored acrylic.
Another option is to have oversized holes drilled into your acrylic mirror and hold it to the wall with screw fasteners. If you are using screws to fix your mirror, we would recommend a screw hole approximately every 300mm all the way around the material for a secure fit.
Because acrylic mirror is more flexible than glass it must be fitted to a flat surface for a perfect finish. If you are fitting it to a wall which is not flat, or are not sure, it is best to fit it first to something rigid such as three quarter inch plywood.

Keeping your mirror looking clean and shiny is very straightforward – although there are a few things to bear in mind.
You should always avoid using solvents to clean acrylic. Chemical cleaners can damage the surface of the plastic and do more harm than good – so it’s better to stick to a soft cotton cloth and warm water.
Can acrylic mirror be used in bathrooms ?
Yes acrylic mirror is water resistant and can be used in the bathroom. We recommend silicone sealing around the edges.
Can acrylic mirror be used outside and in the garden ?
Yes acrylic mirror can be used outdoors but please remember that all mirrors can intensify and concentrate sun rays and generate focused heat spots. Care should be taken to avoid positioning in direct sunlight.
Acrylic mirror will weather outdoors over time with changes in temperature and moisture. The mirror will still be attractive and reflective but will have a more weathered appearance.
How should acrylic mirror be fitted to a wall or wardrobe door ?
For best results make sure the wall or door is completely flat and has no imperfections. If this isn’t possible or you are unsure we suggest the acrylic mirror is first mounted onto a thick MDF sheet. Only use specialist Acrylic Mirror adhesive or mechanically fix your mirror using screws. If you fix with screws, please leave some room in the hole for the acrylic mirror to expand and contract. This can be done by making the hole size slightly bigger than the screw.
