Two Way Mirror Light Transmission

Two way mirrors allow only 30 of light to pass through them.

Two way mirror light transmission.

For automobile smart mirrors electronic mirrors or magic mirrors that have a light side which shows reflections and a dark side which is transparent we will provide the optimum light transmittance and reflectance rate needed for your application. Also available in polycarbonate. When illuminated the side with the light source will be reflective and the opposite darkened side will be transparent. We also have a dielectric tv mirror which gives you the best display quality with 70 light transmission and 30 reflection.

A one way mirror also called two way mirror or one way glass half silvered mirror and semi transparent mirror is a reciprocal mirror that appears reflective on one side and transparent at the other. Pilkington mirropane is an on line coated glass developed for use as a one way mirror where clear vision is required and specific lighting conditions can be achieved. For better light transmission through the glass we recommend our vanityvision smart mirror. Also known as two way mirror see thru mirror allows a percentage of incident light to pass through while reflecting the remainder.

The perception of one way transmission is achieved when one side of the mirror is brightly lit and the other side is dark. There are a broad variety of applications and benefits to be had by choosing mirrored acrylic sheeting for your next project. Actually the two way mirror is letting about half of the light through and reflecting the other half of the light from both sides. It offers an effective means of providing undetected surveillance and high quality one way vision to achieve complete privacy.

If installed backwards the coated side on the back it can cheat the fingernail test looking like the reflection of a standard mirror. 70 reflective with 25 light transmission on a grey substrate acrylic two way mirror is reflective from both sides of the substrate. Meaning it can be installed either way. The surface has to be smooth as rough surfaces scatter light rather than reflecting it.

Traditionally mirrors are made of clear glass that has a coating of silver aluminum or tin on one side. It is also called a half silvered surface as just enough reflecting metal film is deposited on the glass so that about half of the light is reflected. Two way acrylic is ideal for commercial surveillance creating smart mirrors hiding televisions or reinforcing home security. If one side of the mirror is bright and one is dark the 70 light being reflected from the bright side will cause the light passing through from the dark side to be nearly indistinguishable giving the appearance of a normal mirror on the bright side but a window on the dark side.
