How to choose a mirror

The main purpose of a mirror is to reflect our image. A well-chosen model can become a striking element in interior design.

Purchasing a new mirror is a decision that must be taken carefully. It is important to take into account the basic selection criteria, and only in this case can you be sure that you will buy a really good decorative element with a functional load.

How to choose a mirror for your home

When making a choice, you must carefully consider the proposed options. Ideally, it should be made of silver amalgam, but in order to reduce the cost of production, unscrupulous manufacturers use aluminum. The second material is sensitive to external influences of an aggressive environment, which leads to the formation of stains on the surface and deterioration of the product’s characteristics.

Criterias of choice

Let's consider the main criteria for choosing a good product:

• First, you need to familiarize yourself with the product quality certificate.

• Externally evaluate the surface of the product. There should be no spots or irregularities on it, the color should be uniform.

REFERENCE. The presence of air bubbles that seem to have frozen in the glass is a criterion for the presence of a defect.

• Walk past the mirror quickly, watch your reflection.If it is clear and not blurry, that's good. If the image is not clear, skip the final option.
• Look at the back of the product. You should see a green color or a light green tint. If you are holding a fake in your hands, it will be purple.
• The back side of the product should be smooth, just like the front side.
