Stainless Steel mirrors

[chrispenrallt]

Has anyone come across stainless steel mirror lenses, not the body of the mirror but the actual mirror itself. I’m sure I read something about it here, but I can’t find the thread.

You can get temporary replacement " mirror glass" which are stainless steel.
Probably no help to you though.
I have one somewhere

They use stainless steel mirrors in public toilets and other public venues

Hi... JOKE !!
You need to get out more..... Question. Would you get the same depth of vision ? On going around tight corners,i use shop window reflections if there are shops,would Steel give a Flatter image " if used as a vehicle mirror. ?

No Joke, just visit the conveniences in the less-salubrious pubs and clubs, public loo's etc they all have stainless steel mirrors which are often reflecting a more distorted reality of the world. I am just reflecting (no pun) the world which is out there that use stainless steel as a mirror, there is a reason silvered glass is the more preferred option particularly where safety is concerned and many of the points you raise are some of the reasons.

About 25 years ago some bus mirrors were stainless steel, which meant that when the N/S arm broke the head would bounce off the road unbroken, so just a new arm rather than arm and mirror.

The arm was angled up at about 45deg. which meant you had very little view, so we bent the arms down so we could see the whole mirror, but the arm tube would be flattened and eventually fail.

Seems very unlikely that you'd be able to get stainless steel anywhere near as perfectly flat as floated glass. Without which, you aren't going to get the optical clarity required.

Only a problem if you actually use them
