Glassless Mirrors
Lightweight & Safe with HD Clarity
MADE IN THE USA
Overview
Glassless Mylar Mirrors
Gtech Fitness® Glassless Mirrors are innovative, safe and lightweight, offering outstanding image quality. They are available as glassless wall-mounted mirrors or glassless rolling floor mirrors. They can convert to either wall-mount or rolling mirrors after your initial purchase, with the ability to change your wall mirror to a rolling mirror or vice versa. Existing Gtech Fitness® Wall Mirrors would require the purchase of rolling stands to be converted to rolling dance mirrors.
Due to their lightweight design and exceptional versatility, our glassless mirrors are ideal for various applications, such as gyms, personal training studios, dance studios, school weight rooms, military fitness rooms, and corporate fitness centers. However, they are not limited to these settings. They work in other commercial applications, such as storefronts, medical clinics, hospitals, and physical therapy clinics.
Image quality is always a concern when dealing with shatterproof mirrors. Old-school stainless steel, acrylic, and brushed aluminum mirrors offer poor image quality that many still associate with safety mirrors. However, Mylar® Mirror technology is an innovative way to make a glassless mirror with outstanding image quality and is exceptionally lightweight. The surface is 90-92% reflective, ranking higher than a traditional household glass mirror that typically offers around 70% reflective surface. Plus, with a large glass mirror, there is often flexion due to the size and weight. Flexion leads to image distortion. Our strong, lightweight internal aluminum frame ensures the mirror surface will remain flat, even with our largest 6' x 8' size. The flat surface is the key to delivering accurate image reflection without "fun-house" effects or distortion.

Mylar Film
Mylar Film
Our lightweight non-glass mirrors use a Mylar® film that has been treated with an incredibly reflective surface. This surface is 90-92% reflective, whereas a standard household glass mirror is typically around 70%. The Mylar® is then heat-shrunk around a lightweight aluminum frame. Mylar® film is extremely heat sensitive and shrinks up tightly when heat is applied. This process creates a perfectly flat image surface for the best reflection possible.
Mylar® Film, also known as BoPET, is a polyester film initially developed by Dupont® in the 1950s. It is used in many industries due to its strength and chemical properties for retaining heat and gas, plus, is also used for electrical insulation.
More uses for this remarkable product are still being discovered today. Some common uses for this material are food packaging, solar, marine and aviation applications, electronic and acoustic applications, plus much more.
Gtech Fitness® Glassless Mirrors take advantage of Mylar® Film properties since it shrinks up tightly when the heat is applied and holds that tightness after the heat is removed. This process enables the production of one of the lightest, most reflective mirrors available on the market.
Image Quality
Image Quality
Due to how our non-glass mirrors are made, there is no image distortion or "funhouse" mirror effect. When the Mylar® film is heat-shrunk around the aluminum frame, this creates a perfectly flat surface. When the mirror surface is flat, there is no image distortion.
When large glass mirrors are mounted to a wall, the mirror will typically flex and adhere to the wall surface. Most walls are not perfectly flat. If the wall is not perfectly flat and the glass mirror adheres to the wall shape, there will be mirror flexion. This mirror flexion leads to image distortion. This distortion is predominately seen with large glass mirrors, and especially noticeable the further you step away from the mirror.
With our manufacturing process utilizing a lightweight internal aluminum frame, the strong internal framing helps prevent mirror flexion, and this creates a better image reflection. If distortion is seen after wall mounting our mirrors, this is typically caused by an uneven wall when the screws are completely tightened down, causing the aluminum frame to flex. Simply back out the mounting screws a bit, until the aluminum frame returns to its flat position. This will remove the image distortion.

Durability
Durability
There are pros and cons to both glassless and glass mirrors. However, there are many upsides to glassless mirrors for certain settings.
Most people envision an unbreakable product when speaking of non-glass mirrors. In reality, both glassless Mylar® mirrors and glass mirrors can be damaged. The primary difference is dealing with broken glass and liability or not dealing with it.
Glassless Mylar® Mirrors are more sensitive than glass mirrors regarding damage. They are susceptible to tears and scratches and are not ideal for abusive settings. However, the upside of safety, better image quality, lightweight design, ease of mounting, and mobility make them an excellent choice for non-abusive environments. At the same time, we still would not recommend glass mirrors for abusive settings.
In general, most people stay away from mirrors in public facilities, but there are cases where a weight plate or dumbbell hits a mirror by accident. These types of occurrences are why our mirrors were made to help eliminate potential injury and potential liability.
If our glassless mirrors are impacted, one of two things will happen; the mirror film will tear or dent. Either way, there is no broken glass. Torn mirrors will have to be replaced, but most dents can often be repaired, depending on the severity of the impact.
Dent Repair
Dent Repair
If the mirror film is dented, in most cases, the dent can be repaired entirely. For minor dents, a hot blow dryer can be used, and for major dents, a heat gun will be needed. We can supply heat gun repair instructions upon request by using our Contact Us page. Customers will need to provide their order information when requesting mirror repair information.
If the mirror film is scratched from the impact, scratches cannot be removed or repaired. The reflective surface is completely exposed to provide the best image clarity possible. Like traditional glass mirrors, our glassless mirrors can still be damaged and do need to be handled with care. However, they are excellent for non-abusive settings where the mirror will be used solely for image reflection.
If a Mylar® mirror is impacted hard enough to tear the Mylar® film, the impact was relatively severe and could have been enough to crack or break a traditional glass mirror. If the mirror film is torn, the mirror will have to be replaced, but keep in mind that broken glass and potential injury were avoided.
Installation & Cleaning
Installation
With the extremely lightweight design, our non-glass mirrors are very easy to install. Mounting to the rolling stands can be a one-person job, but it will take two people to mount to the wall due to their size.
Each mirror comes with four pre-drilled holes on the back of the mirror, four L-brackets, and four screws that go into the back of the mirror. The customer must supply four screws that will go into the wall-type they are mounting to, such as studs, drywall, brick, or other wall types.
The L-brackets have two holes per bracket, one for attaching to the mirror and one for connecting to the wall.

Wall Mount vs Rolling Stand
Wall Mounted vs. Rolling Stand
Our non-glass mirrors are available as glassless wall-mounted mirrors or with rolling stands. Plus, they can be converted at any time to either wall mount or rolling stand versions after your initial purchase. This gives you the ability to change your wall mirror to a rolling stand mirror, or vice versa, as your facility needs change.
The ability to change from wall-mount to rolling mirrors gives you, or your facility added versatility that traditional glass mirrors may or may not be able to provide. Existing Gtech Fitness® wall mount mirrors would require the purchase of rolling stands to be converted to glassless rolling mirrors.
