Features to look for when buying a mirror

 Mirrors must be copper free

The main benefit of copper free mirrors is the reduced corrosion. This is the rusting that appears beneath the surface of the coating and once this appears there nothing that can be done to get rid of it. Copper free mirrors are 3 times more resistance to corrosion than traditional mirrors. Other than the benefits of longer longevity of the mirror, copper free mirrors are also better for the environment. Without the harmful chemicals such as copper sulphate and lead in the manufacturing process, the production of these mirrors is significantly less harmful to the environment.
