Description
Mirror effect glass MIRASTAR is a coated glass which primary characteristic is its high reflection. It is obtained by magnetron deposition of a coating of metal oxides on a transparent float glass PLANICLEAR.
An essential component of interior design and decoration, the mirror illuminates and enlarges spaces to create better atmospheres. MIRASTAR offers an amazing mirror effect, the aspects of which differ based on the lighting conditions. Based on the conditions, it reveals a mirror effect or a clear glass effect that transmits light. This allows the development of unique appearances.
