Pilkington Optimirror™


Pilkington Optimirror™ is a decorative mirror glass designed for internal applications where reflection quality, appearance and durability are important. It is manufactured without the copper and lead used in the conventional silvering process and is produced to EN 1036.

The product incorporates protection of the reflective silver layer to help improve resistance to natural atmospheric corrosion and to reduce visible edge deterioration and spot faults often associated with conventional mirrors. This makes it suitable for projects that require a high-quality mirrored finish across a range of commercial and residential interiors.

Pilkington Optimirror™ is available on clear glass, with a bronze-tinted option also referenced within the range, while the wider Optimirror™ family also includes low-iron and safety-backed variants for more specialised requirements.

Spectrum Calculation Program

Pilkington Spectrum is a Windows-based glass performance model which enables you to quickly and efficiently calculate key properties of a wide range of single glazing and insulating glass units. Also available as an app for mobile devices, you can use Pilkington Spectrum to provide the following information:

  • Light and solar properties (transmittance, reflectance, absorptance, g value, etc.).
  • Centre pane Ug-value.
  • Sound insulation values.
  • Global Warming Potential (GWP), or carbon footprint.
  • Ultra violet (uv) transmittance and colour rendering index (Ra).
  • Other properties (e.g. pendulum body impact resistance, fire resistance, resistance to manual attack, etc.).
