Mirrored Acrylic Sheets
Our mirrored acrylic sheets, also known as plexiglass mirrors, Lucite mirrors, or Perspex mirrors, offer the same visual brilliance as glass mirror with less weight and greater safety. Made from extruded acrylic, these sheets provide a smooth, reflective surface ideal for decorative, retail, event decor, and architectural applications where traditional glass would be too heavy or fragile.
Each sheet is manufactured through a vacuum metallizing process that deposits a thin layer of aluminum onto one side of the acrylic, creating a bright and durable mirror finish. The reflective surface is then coated with a painted backing to protect it during fabrication and use. Available in standard silver as well as a range of tinted colors, plus specialty options including two-way mirror and double-sided mirror.
At Canal Plastics Center, mirrored acrylic is available in pre-cut sizes, full sheets, and custom cut-to-size processed in our SoHo NYC workshop. All sheets are made from extruded acrylic for consistent reflectivity and dimensional stability.

Fabrication Notes
For straight cuts on sheets up to 1/8" thick, scribing and snapping over a table edge is effective. For precise work, use carbide-tipped circular or table saw blades with a triple-chip design. Keep the masked side down during cutting and maintain a steady feed rate to prevent chipping. A cool air or water mist can be applied to the blade — avoid lubricants, which may react with the mirror backing. Water jet cutting is not recommended as it can leave micro-notches that lead to cracking or edge failure.
For laser cutting, maintain proper focal distance and leave masking on one or both sides to absorb laser energy evenly. Always exhaust fumes properly and test parameters before production.
Adhesive Note
Do not use solvent-based acrylic cements on the mirror backing — solvents will damage the reflective film. Use silicone adhesive only. Test on expendable pieces at least 72 hours before full application to confirm compatibility.
