  • Oracal 352 Mirror Silver lifespan alternatives please?

    Posted by Warren Beard on 17 May 2007 at 15:50

    Hi All

    I was wanting to use this mirror film for an outdoor fascia but have just realised it is only a 2 year lifespan.

    Are there any alternatives I could use with similar effect but longer life span? Don’t want a call in 2 years telling me the vinyl is peeling off 😕

    Thanks

    Warren

    Hi Warren there are alternatives we used one that was 5-7 years, but it was expensive, and I can’t remember where we got it 😳
    if you don’t mind going dearer I will have a look for you.

    Hi Lynn

    That will be great thanks, at the end of the day I will quote accordingly and hope the client goes for it, he has said he wants it though.

    There is Oracal Silver Leaf for about £14 a meter 😮

    I only need about 5 meters max though so no huge dent :lol1:

    Thanks

    Hi Lynn

    I will try search for the old post. 😳

    The Silver Leaf Oracal Series 382 vinyl is a 5 year outdoor and is about £14/meter for 610 wide.

    I think I might have to use this if it is similar to mirror, anybody know if it is similar to mirror.

    cheers

    i use the coburn chrome, it’s a 5yr outdoor film,

    i buy it from sign trade supplies, maidstone,

    610 wide…

    1-9m £8.20
    10-24m £7.80
    25m+ 7.57

    prices per metre and + vat, it’s called polished silver, but is chrome ! the rainbow chrome is pretty cool too, holographic looking.
