What Types of Mirror Finishes Are Available?
The most popular mirror metal finishes include the #7 pre-buff or “dull mirror” finish and the industry standard #8 mirror finish. Additional varieties such as the super mirror finish or bright annealed finish are also commonly found in some industries and use cases. You can learn more about the types of mirror metal finish options we provide below.
#7 Mirror Finish
A “pre-buff” or “dull mirror” finish, #7 mirror finish creates a highly reflective surface, though not quite as reflective as #8. This is because the surface is finely ground, but grit lines are not removed through a final buffing process.
#8 Mirror Finish
#8 is the industry standard when it comes to a true mirrored finish. This extremely reflective appearance is created through several stages of directional buffing, as well as a final buff using a rouge compound. This finish is popular for many decorative pieces, such as those seen in the casino industry.
