What are HiB Infinity Mirrors ? Infinity mirrors are actually just an optical illusion which makes the user believe they are staring down an infinite black hole ! However once the effect is turned off the product simply reverts to a standard mirror. This simple principle has been used in other applications and is very effective but produced commercially and installed into a room in the right way and it can become a real centre piece and talking point.
The effect is created using a shadow box in combination with a strip of lights and an 80% reflective glass panel, when the lights are switched on the user can see an infinite tunnel stretching away. When the lights are switched off a normal mirror is seen and the user is unaware of the parts hidden inside that make the infinity effect.
There are many different types of these mirrors on the market, including instructions on how to build them but the commerical versions are of a much higher quality and will last a very long time if looked after properly. The most popular on the market are from a manufacturer called HiB and there are four versions at present called HiB Orion 64148695, Hib Odyssey, HiB Constellation 64647195 64647295 and HiB Star 64646800
Although these mirrors can be used in most applications HiB manufacturer their versions of the product for the Bathroom industry and as such have made them IP44 compliant meaning that they are Splash resistant. This rating is quite an important one and means that the mirror can be installed in most places in the bathroom that do not subject it to direct running water.
The HiB Star and Odyssey are the most popular versions of the mirror and that is because the contemporary full glass look is more in demand. It is important to purchase a mirror of good quality especially if you are installing it into a bathroom environment so we would recommened checking the relevant safety features of each product before commiting to purchase.
