ROUND MIRRORS PHOTO GALLERY
We create mirrors in dimensions you need and send products for you. Our mirrors are made of wooden frames - oak, pine, maple, bamboo or painted.
We are having a little bit of a love affair with round mirrors at the moment. It is our passion, because circle is harmonious shape. |
Mirrors are a great way to open up space and bring lightness to any room, but beyond that, they are a fantastic way to add style and finesse as well.
Not only can they be used as a much-needed accessory and fun to decorate with, but with a bit of imagination, they can become a real focal point of your home. |
Interesting Facts About Mirrors
We all look in mirrors every day whether it’s LED Bathroom mirrors to shave in, an illuminated mirror used to apply makeup or a rear view mirror to check who is behind when driving. Aside from their everyday uses mirrors are used for all sorts of weird and wonderful things. Here are a few interesting facts about mirrors that you probably didn’t know:
* In ancient times water was used for mirrors. The first forms of mirrors appeared in ancient times when they would simply use a pool of dark water, or a dark container filled with water. This only changed in around 6000 BC when polished glass began to be used.
* Mirrors reflect sound as well as light.
Mirrors that reflect sound waves are known as acoustic mirrors. Before the development of radar, mirrors were used in the second World War to detect sounds coming from enemy aircraft.
* There are mirrors on the moon. A formation of mirrors and lasers on the moon, as well as a telescope down on earth, are used to measure the distance to the moon. This distance changes because of the moon’s elliptical orbit around the Earth, so it is important that such a facility exists.
* Mirrors reflect matter. Mirrors can reflect matter just as they do light. These mirrors are known as atomic mirrors. They use an electromagnetic field to reflect neutral atoms and are used to trap slow atoms or to focus an atomic beam.
* Mirrors can split light. Mirrors can be used to split light and this is why they are commonly used in telescopes and other scientific instruments. These are generally called beam splitters, as a beam of light is focused on the splitter part of the beam will carry on, on its original course while the other veers off at a ninety-degree angle.

The Inventor of Mirror
While glass mirrors are the most common and popular today, mirrors used to be made from a variety of material in ancient times including copper, steel, silver and gold.
The invention of the first modern mirror is credited to German chemist Justus von Liebig. In 1835, he perfected the technique of applying a layer of metallic silver to the back of a pane of glass through the chemical reduction of silver nature. The silvering process was a template for the first mass production of the modern mirror and led to the greater availability of affordable mirrors. Until then, the mirrors were a luxury item, which only the nobility could afford.
Today, mirrors are often manufactured by the vacuum deposition of aluminum or silver directly onto the glass substrate.

About mirror glass
Mirrors reflect all visible wavelengths. The wavelengths that leave the mirror’s surface are organized according to the angle and configuration by which they arrived. Mirrors are manufactured by applying a reflective coating to glass. This reflective coating is made of silver. |
