INSTALLATION TECHNIQUES DESIGNED TO PROLONG THE LIFE OF FLAT GLASS MIRRORS

This GTP updates the GTP last published in 2011. This document provides important installation recommendations to help maintain the integrity of a mirror’s silver film, which creates its reflective surface.

Adherence to a selection of dos and don’ts will help protect the silver from corrosion and prolong the life of the mirror.
