A Reflection of Quality

Unbreakable Reflections

The reflective surfaces of DIBOND mirrors offer outstanding reflection properties similar to those of a conventional glass mirror without the breakability of glass and at about half the weight. DIBOND mirrors create more light, space and transparency in interiors and is a popular option for designing interior spaces such as shops, hotels, bars and other leisure facilities. The mirror surfaces can be both screen- and digitally printed, as well as laser engraved, making them a unique solution for advertising & signage. The high-quality finish combined with the excellent processing properties of DIBOND lends it as an ideal solution for a wide range of design applications.

Material Composition

DIBOND mirrors are comprised of sheets of .012” aluminum with mirrored surface, bonded to a solid polyethylene core. Manufactured by 3A Composites GmbH.
