CHALLENGE OF THIS MIRROR
These mirrors are nine small mirrors spliced frameless mirror, with a 3mm thick decorative #shape stainless steel among these mirrors. All sizes are about L150x H220cm, biggest one is L175cm x H220cm.
1. VERY difficult to produce 3x8x2000MM stainless steel bar. 3mm thickness is too small, 95% stainless steel factories in China can only produce 5mm.
2. VERY difficult to wield stainless steel bar to a good “#” shape. Stainless steel bar is too weak, deformation happens a lot during wielding.
3. Very difficult to make a beautiful “#” All small mirrors need to be glued against stainless steel. Both edges of mirrors and stainless steel need match well. For Mirror No.5, there should be no deformation for stainless steel, otherswise mirror NO.5 will not be put inside of stainless steel.
4. Sizes of mirrors and stainless steel should be very exact, with sizes difference less 1mm. Because they are framless mirrors. All mirrors on 4 sides should stay in a straight line. Any size difference will be very obvoious.
5. Customer want to 8mm thickness backboard to support such a big mirror, they want these mirrors looks like no backboard. The whole mirror will be like 50KGS, it is impossible to use 8mm backboard to bear this weight.
