Real Mirrorlite® vs. Knockoff
LOOK FOR THE ® SYMBOL AFTER THE Mirrorlite® NAME BRAND. ANYTHING ELSE IS AN IMITATION.
GlasslessMirror.com is your source for only the orignal Mirrorlite ® brand premium quality authentic Glassless Mirrors that are manufactured in a state of the art production facility by a highly skilled team of engineers and workers with over 143 years of combined industry experience.
It's this crucial combination of skill, experience and correct tooling that truly makes glassless mirror manufacturing an art form in itself.
Imitation glassless mirrors are produced with low-cost inferior materials, inadequate tooling and manufacturing techniques. Imitations are typically hand cut and pieced together unlike authentic Mirrorlite ® Glassless Mirror brand panels which are manufactured as one piece extrusions resulting in a stronger, more rigid design that eliminates warping and image distortion.
Mirrorlite® brand Glassless Mirror panels are UnderWriter Laboratories(UL) approved and meets military specifications.
Inexpensive imitation glassless mirrors are frequently advertised well below our manufacturers advertised price for our comparably sized mirror panels, so if their advertised price is too good to be true then it probably is.
Don't get stuck with a cheap imitation!

Mirrorlite ® Glassless Mirrors vs. Acrylic/Plastic Glassless Mirrors
The term "glassless mirror" is used loosely in the mirror industry and including a broad range of non-glass mirrors including lower image quailty designs such as acrylic or plastic "fun house distortion" mirrors. Genuine Mirrorlite® Glassless Mirrors should not be confused with cheap acrylic or plastic glassless mirror product commonly advertised on the market.

We've been asked by several customers about what is the difference between a Mirrorlite® vertical rolling glassless mirror versus a Mirrorlite® horizontal rolling glassless mirror when fitted with a square mirror? The answer is in the design of the rolling stands. We can customize the height of the bottom of the mirror off the floor on the horizontal rolling mirror to the customers specification whereas the height of the bottom of the mirror off the floor is fixed at 3 inches on the vertical rolling mirror.

Did You Know?
Mirrorlite® glassless mirrors had been widely used inside projection televisions by major manufacturers including RCA, Panasonic and Mitsubishi. Because of their superior optical image quality, low weight, shock and vibration resistance, glassless mirrors were more practical than glass mirrors. Modern digital LCD, Plasma and LED flat panel televisions have since replaced the antiquated projection TV.
Acrylic mirrors may be notorious for their "fun house" distortion, but even glass mirrors are prone to distortion. That's because glass mirrors are relatively thin and if mounted against an uneven surface, distortion can rear its ugly head. Sometimes glass mirror distortion isn't obvious until you stand in front of two different mirrors in the same room and your body appears wider in one of the mirrors compared to the other. Mirrorlite® rigid construction results in a super flat image surface that eliminates distortion.

Better Than Velcro
Need to mount our glassless mirror to the wall without having to drill holes or want the ability to remove the mirror panel quickly and easily without the use of tools? Perhaps you want to install our glassless mirror ceiling tiles, but don't have a drop ceiling grid? The solution is 3M's Dual Lock reusable and reclosable tape fasteners.
Dual Lock offers five times the strength of standard hook and loop fastener and can be re-used without wearing out. It's more heat resistant than hook and loop and lets you know when it's pressed together fully by giving off an audible clunk.
Dual Lock is constructed of two sides containing hundreds of interlocking polyoelfin stems with mushroom shaped tops giving its high tensile strength while eliminating the "wiggle hold" typical of hook and loop fasteners.
