Production: A Comprehensive Process for Creating Premium Silver Mirrors
At SIG, silver mirror production follows a meticulously controlled process to ensure high-quality output. The production begins with loading mirror-grade float glass onto a mechanical suction system. The glass is pre-washed with a special detergent to remove oils and dust, followed by polishing to create a fresh, smooth surface for plating. After cleaning with deionized water, sensitization occurs using stannous chloride, creating a base for the silver plating. Activation follows, where palladium or silver nitrate forms a catalytic layer. Silver plating then deposits a uniform reflective silver layer, followed by copper plating for added protection. The glass is then dried, primed, top-coated, baked, and cooled. Final steps include surface cleaning, inspection, and packaging, ensuring each mirror meets stringent optical and durability standards before shipment.

Key Properties and Distinctive Features of SIG Silver Mirrors:
SIG silver mirrors are crafted from ultra-clear glass, providing exceptional clarity and accurate color reflection with minimal distortion. Their durable multi-layer coating, which includes silver and copper, offers excellent resistance to scratches and corrosion. Manufactured to strict quality standards, each mirror is free from imperfections. Additionally, they are easy to clean and maintain, ensuring long-lasting beauty, making them ideal for both residential and commercial settings.

Interior Design: Silver mirrors play a crucial role in interior design, serving as statement pieces that enhance aesthetic appeal. They are commonly used in living rooms, bedrooms, and hallways to create the illusion of space, reflect light, and add depth to any room, making areas appear larger and more inviting.
