Gym and Dance Studio Mirrors

Details

Our 5mm thick acrylic mirrors allow a safer, and longer-lasting alternative with the same great results as glass mirrors. Mirrored acrylic is versatile, and ideal for home gym mirrors, dance studio mirrors, or fitness studios, as keeping your acrylic mirror clean and hygienic is just as easy to maintain as a glass mirror. All that is required is warm soapy water and a microfibre cloth, perfect for gym mirror walls.

Once ordered to measurement and specification, when professionally and correctly fitted to the wall, you will get the same clear reflective surface that you would with glass. We do recommend that if you intend on getting the mirror to look flat, that it is backed on a smooth, flat surface. If you're unsure if your walls are perfectly flat we recommend backing onto 18mm MDF. We suggest this for any gym wall mirrors or for large gym mirrors.

Using an adhesive is the most common choice for both ease and simplicity, providing a professional, smooth finish and importantly, a secure fit to any gym wall mirror.
