Do you have a home gym, man cave, studio, or work area that really needs a mirror?  Did you nearly pass out when you priced how much it would cost for a glass mirror?  Do you need a mirror that will last a long time without breaking?  Then CutsMetal has the answer for you!!!  Our Mirror Polished .029 Stainless Steel Sheets give you the look of a mirror, but without the breakage or extremely high cost!  After reading this blog, you may think about ordering the Mirror Polished Stainless Steel from CutsMetal instead of breakable glass mirrors!

Durable  Sometimes you need the reflective qualities of a mirror, in an area that gets bumped and could potentially break traditional glass mirror.  If you used traditional glass mirror, it would be broken within the first week.  The Mirror Polished .029 Stainless Steel from CutsMetal, gives you a highly reflective surface that cannot be shattered like glass.  It can be bumped without shards of glass flying everywhere!  Our Mirror Polished Stainless Steel is a 22 gauge sheet that can withstand the wear that glass cannot.  It will not chip, shatter, or crack! 

Lightweight  Compared to glass mirror, the Mirror Polished Stainless Steel is lightweight and can be moved without fear of breaking.  Of course, as when handling any metal material, you should always wear protective gloves when carrying this stainless steel.  The weight of the stainless steel, is roughly half the weight of the same sized sheet of glass mirror.  It is also not as thick as the glass mirror.  Glass mirror has to be thicker in order to reflect the painted backing which gives it its reflective qualities.  Our stainless steel is thin enough that is is lightweight, yet thick enough so that it doesn't bend or get creased.  

Less Expensive  When designing or remodeling a room, you should always consider the cost of your materials!  By using Mirror Polished Stainless Steel from CutsMetal, you are going to stay within your budget!  Our stainless steel is about 1/3 to 1/2 the cost of traditional glass mirror.  CutsMetal can also custom cut your sheets at a very reasonable price (or you can order it to the size that you need...our sheets come in a variety of sizes!)!  

Still on the fence about using Mirror Polished .029 Stainless Steel Sheets from CutsMetal?  Consider how easy it is to apply the stainless steel...you can adhere the sheets to your clean surface with a construction adhesive (like LiquidNails).  The mirrored stainless steel must be cleaned with a soft, clean cloth (no scratching cleaners like cleanser).  The stainless steel, like traditional glass mirror, must be adhered to a flat surface (or distortion will occur...the more uneven the surface, the more distortion...like a fun house mirror).  Still have questions or want to order?  Call our specialists at 970-800-3173 to get started on your project!
