Fire Safety Meets Functionality
Beyond aesthetics, safety—especially fire protection—is essential. That’s why our products are not only visual highlights but also safe to use. The majority of them meet current fire safety regulations. Please refer to the specific product details for classifications such as DIN 4102 B1, EN 13773 C1, C2, and EN 13501. This ensures reliable safety for use in film, television, and live events.
By the Meter or Full Service
At TÜCHLER, we understand that every project is unique. That’s why we offer our flame-retardant mirrors, mirror foils, and glossy films not only by the meter or as sheet material, but also as custom-made solutions all the way to final installation. Whether you're designing a spectacular show stage, outfitting a TV studio, or creating an unforgettable party atmosphere, our products adapt to your specific requirements.
Semi-Transparent Mirrors
Also known as one-way or surveillance mirrors, these are reflective on one side and transparent on the other. This allows for discreet observation of what’s happening on the opposite side of the mirror. The effect is well known from countless crime series, where a detective watches an interrogation from a hidden room behind the glass.
When using surveillance mirrors, it’s important to ensure that the observation area is more dimly lit than the area being observed. Only then does the mirror function properly in the observed room, preventing people from seeing into the space where the observers are located.
On stage and in scenic design, semi-transparent mirrors are often combined with lighting effects. For the audience, they appear as a shiny surface or mirror, behind which light effects, highlights, shadows, 3D illusions, and many other visual effects can be created.
For this purpose, the transparent mirror foil Carneval—available in nearly all colors except black—is an excellent choice.
Projection Mirrors
Projection mirrors are mirrors with a special coating on the back that allows video projection via a projector, turning the mirror into a rear-projection surface. When instead of video a colored light is cast onto the back of the mirror, the normally silver appearance takes on the color of the light—transforming into a high-gloss, colored “lacquer-like” surface.
This effect of a distortion-free mirror that can absorb light or display effects projected from behind can be brilliantly achieved using the self-adhesive projection foil TONKS.
To apply it, you'll need either a glass pane or a smooth, transparent plastic sheet. The mirror side of TONKS projection foil is coated with a special adhesive. Simply use a bit of dish soap and apply the foil to your transparent surface. Press out any excess liquid with a rubber squeegee, wait 24 hours, and you’ll have a distortion-free, bubble-free mirror that enables the projection and lighting effects described above from the reverse side.
How Distortion-Free Are Mirror Foils, Mirror Floors, and Mirror Panels?
In general, reflective surfaces reveal every unevenness very clearly. That’s why it’s essential to avoid surface irregularities as much as possible. The better this is achieved, the more distortion-free the reflection will be.
Foils are ideally stretched over a frame. Applying foils to panels using adhesive almost always results in visible distortions caused by the adhesive on the surface.
Glossy floor coverings like Showfloor BROADWAY require a very smooth and well-prepared subfloor to produce a largely distortion-free mirror effect.
Mirror panels, due to their thickness, are much less sensitive to surface structures that tend to show through thinner materials like foils or floor coverings. However, panels can slightly warp and therefore require a flat, even base to provide a clear, undistorted reflection.
Can Mirror Foils and Glossy Foils Be Welded?
Yes, we also weld glossy foils. Please note that these are always delivered folded, which means they will show strong creases when unpacked. Be sure to stretch the foils firmly on all sides, maintain a room temperature of at least 22°C, and allow the material time to recover.
Mirror foils, however, cannot be welded due to technical reasons.
