Premium V Groove Mirror for Laser Precision

What is a V Groove Mirror?

A v groove mirror is a high-grade glass panel featuring V-shaped etched or cut grooves, produced by precision CNC or waterjet technology. These grooves create optical depth, diffused reflection, and unique visual effects. With a combination of robust mechanical performance and elegant appearance, v groove mirror products are chosen for environments requiring both functionality and luxury — from control rooms to hotel lobbies and sophisticated home décor.

Technical Parameters: Specification & Standards Comparison

To ensure lasting performance and safety, v groove mirror glass conforms to recognized industry standards such as ISO 9001, EN 12150, and ANSI Z97.1 for mechanical impact, flatness, and resilience.

Manufacturing Process: How V Groove Mirror Is Made

Raw Glass Selection: Optical/ultra-clear glass sheets chosen for optical purity, low iron, flatness (EN 12150).
Surface Preparation: Automated rinsing & ultrasonic cleaning to remove micro-contaminants.
Groove Marking: Computer-aided design (CAD) mapping; grooves marked precisely.
V-Groove Creation: CNC diamond wheels or waterjet CNC groove as per design (60° or 90° angle; up to 2.5mm depth).
Edge Polishing: Beveling and diamond polishing for both groove and outer edges.
Mirror Coating: Multi-layer silver/copper back, reinforced with corrosion-resistant paint (ISO 9227 NSS compliant).
Quality Inspection: Flatness, groove geometry, and adhesion tested under ISO 10110 and ANSI Z97.1.
Packing & Delivery: Shock-proof, water-resistant packaging to ensure product arrives defect-free.
