plastic mirror vs. glass

making a small box and while looking for a suitalbe piece of mirror i found that there are stick on plastic mirrors



does anyone know how good they are at reflecting clearly



concerned that it may not be as clear as a glass mirror


I have plastic mirrors in both our showers. They are about 5 x 7, enough to shave by. They are very adequate, about 95% as good as glass.

In addition to not being as reflective as a glass mirror, plastic scratches easily, making it even a worse choice over time. Other considerations can trump this problem, obviously.

The downside of a plastic mirror is that they are easy to scratch--you have to be careful cleaning them.

that should be good enough for this application

they will be smaller than that too
