how are mirrors made?

Transcript

Mirrors are made by applying a reflective coating, typically silver or aluminum, to a carefully prepared glass sheet. The process begins with selecting high-quality glass, which is cleaned and polished to remove impurities.A layer of tin is applied to ensure adhesion, followed by a silver coating through a chemical reaction. This is often protected with a copper layer and paint to prevent tarnishing.Finally, the mirrors are cut to size and inspected for quality before packaging for distribution.
