What Is a Polyester Film Mirror?
A polyester film mirror is a panel-type mirror constructed from a polyester film with an aluminum vapor-deposited surface, tension-mounted onto an aluminum frame. Its design, which eschews the use of glass, makes the mirror lightweight and unbreakable. This structure ensures high precision in tensioning and flatness, resulting in minimal distortion.
Its lightweight, unbreakable nature makes it an ideal choice for large mirrors in sports studios and fitness clubs. Its ease of mobility also lends well to security-related applications requiring frequent repositioning.
Uses of Polyester Film Mirrors
Among various mirror materials like glass, aluminum, polyester film, and acrylic, each is chosen based on specific properties. Polyester film mirrors stand out for their lightweight and unbreakability. However, they are currently more expensive and require careful maintenance.
In sports practices like dance, yoga, fitness, golf, and kendo, where mirrors are crucial, polyester film mirrors are beneficial for their portability. This is particularly advantageous in settings where practice locations vary. They are also utilized in cooking classes with ceiling-mounted mirrors for hand-movement observation and in restaurants for interior monitoring. These mirrors offer safety advantages, being about one-sixth the weight of glass mirrors and resistant to breaking during accidents.
