How to ensure you get the

Original Good Quality Mirror?

QUALITY OF MIRROR

 

6mm Thick Silver  polish plated clear mirror brand:“ GUARDIAN INDUSTRIES THAILAND

ü        Clear & Sharp image

ü        Durable

ü        Great reflection

·      They claim they will supply Silver mirror but in the matter of fact the mirror is made by “aluminum coated” which we cannot see from naked eyes.

·      The mirror corrosion more faster “Guardian”

·      Distortion Image due to the coating/thickness.

·      Greenish/ bluish image due to the quality of glass material.

·  Check glass thickness by using the ruler, some may have 5mm+.

·  Back side of the mirror printed the “Guardian Industries Thailand”

·  Place our mirror together with “other brand” side by side, place a white object onto both mirror surface; you can see the reflection of our mirror is whiter, others may look slightly green or yellow, this mean it may be aluminum coated or poor quality.

Polish Straight Edge

Clean, consistent & Shining; you can see the reflection with rainbow color under the sun (just like diamond)

No grinding at the mirror joint or end of the wall. Some times hand grind with 4” disc grinder or polish

·  Not consistent edges, no “rainbow” color when reflection under the sun.

·  Chips between mirror joint, corner or end of wall.

SAFETY MIRROR

Strong, Durable and experience more then 16year in the market. “safety mirror”  A layer of film which glued at the mirror backing; we are the first and only created this feature in the market since year 1993 & We do continued research and development.

Not Applicable, they did not apply the film but claim that is the SAFETY MIRROR.

Check back side of the mirror, a plain color of “Film” apply the back area of the mirror, the film can peel off yet durable. You can feel the glue on the film is not sticky because sticky glue may be harmful to the mirror coating.

Installation

ü    With professional tool such as LASER light leveling.

ü    Plywood pieces to level the wall which can avoid the expansion of plywood and move both mirrors and crack at the joint.

ü    Neutral Silicon & glue; NOT harmful to mirror

ü    Excellent Mirror joint create perfect reflection on horizontal line

ü    Minimum gab within wall & Mirror

ü    White sealer all round mirror

·      Without laser light, some supplier don’t even use using traditional way of leveling and may cause mirror not vertical to the floor; when you look into the mirror you the floor inside the mirror may look slanted.

·      The Plywood panel backing, easy installation but poor mirror joint cause bad reflection

·      Using harmful silicon or glue
