Mirropane T.M.™ Transparent Mirror Glass serves as a discreet visual barrier between observers and subjects by acting as a mirror on one side and as a tinted window on the other. This product only requires an 8:1 light ratio and produces the optimal mix of tint and reflectivity. It is made with a durable pyrolytic (hard coat) surface, is post heat-treatable and easy to clean with standard glass cleaners.

Mirropane is ideal for surveillance, security and administrative applications. It can also be used for a variety of other applications.

Applications:
• Patient observation
• Hidden television (mirror tv)
• Police interrogation rooms
• Infinity mirror
• Animal cages

Design Considerations

ORIENTATION: Install transparent mirror with the reflective surface facing the brightly lit subject-side. Due to improved properties, this glass allows a wall to be completely glazed from floor to ceiling when there is no lighting on the viewing side.
TYPE OF LIGHTING: Subject-side lighting should be bright and evenly distributed over all walls and furnishings, but should not shine directly onto the transparent mirror. Observer-side lighting should be dim with no open light sources. Opaque lamp shades are recommended for best results.
BACKGROUND COLORS: Subject-side should be bright and light in color and shade to create a bright reflected image. Observerside décor should be subdued, non-reflective, dark and uniform.
DISTANCES AND LIGHT LEVELS: On the observer-side, keep people, objects and light sources at a distance from the transparent mirror area. An 8:1 light ratio is recommended, with the subject-side brightly lit.
CLEANING: Use standard glass cleaners or mild detergents. Do not use abrasives, opaque liquid cleaners, razor blades or acid-based cleaners.
