You can get mirror from most glass shops that do more than just automotive glass.
You can also get acrylic mirror from plastics shops or sign shops usually.

I think glass is more $$, I don't remember though. Glass is much easier to care for once its installed, no scratches and all that. Kinda sucks to clean a mirror with plastic polish. The acrylic is obviously good for impact resistance, but doesn't have quite the optical clarity or reflective quality that the glass does. the acrylic is a lot easier to cut and form though.much

I'm thinking the shop that I have in my mind is "Precision Glass". I've got mirrors for over the bathroom sink there before.

We sell both plexiglass mirror and glass. The plex. Is 1/8" thick and the glass comes in 1/8" and 1/4" the plex is more expensive. Glass mirror is just as easy to cut if you know what u are doing what are your plans for the mirror?
And don't go to presision you will over pay.
Cory you should know better.

What do you need it for? I just took down a 4'x4' (I believe) mirror from my sister bathroom because she got a new one. It's just sitting in their garage, probably going get thrown away. I don't think anyone wants to break it to put it in the trash can though.

I ended up buy 3 sheets of 3 x 5. I'm going to frame them on a rolling type thing like where you put a chalkboard on wheels. My kids dance alot and they were looking for mirror to practice with.
