Any area requiring observation
Pilkington Mirropane™ is recommended of internal
use only. In such cases, since neither side of the
Police identification line-up
mirror will be exposed to the weather, glazing
materials such as common wet or dry strips, plastics
or rubber channels can be used in a suitable frame.
The glass must be installed with the coating on
the subject's side. In such situations, glass on the
subject side appears like a normal mirror and helps
to hide the fact that the glass is used for surveillance
purposes.
