Mirror finish anodized aluminum sheet
Anodized mirror finish aluminum sheet refers to aluminum sheets that have undergone processes like polishing, buffing, and rolling to achieve a mirrored effect. The surface appears smooth, even, and highly glossy, and further treatment involves surface oxidation to create a dense oxide film, enhancing scratch resistance and weatherability. It is commonly used as a high-end decorative material.
Features of anodized mirror finish aluminum sheet
- Lightweight, moisture-resistant, and fire-resistant
- High strength, lightweight, and strong corrosion resistance
- Uniform coating with various color options

Polished Mirror Finish Aluminum Sheet vs. Anodized Mirror Finish Aluminum Sheet
- Polished mirror finish aluminum sheet exhibits a brighter and more aesthetically pleasing appearance with a relatively higher reflectivity but is prone to damage.
- Anodized mirror finish aluminum sheet possesses a dense oxide film on the surface, enhancing corrosion resistance and durability.
- Anodized mirror finish aluminum sheet offers a wider range of colors, appearing more splendid and possessing stronger decorative qualities.
Embossed aluminum mirror sheet
Embossed aluminum mirror sheets, also known as mirror embossed aluminum or polished embossed aluminum, are achieved by processing pre-polished mirror aluminum sheets with embossing rollers. They are typically used for decorative purposes or to reduce surface reflectivity. There are various types of embossed aluminum materials, including hammered patterns, orange peel patterns, diamond patterns, spherical patterns, and more, which can be customized according to customer requirements.
Hammered pattern aluminum embossed sheet
Made from mirror-finished anodized aluminum substrate with a surface featuring pebble-sized convex patterns, offering a diffuse light effect with a reflectivity of up to 86%. Widely used in the lighting and decoration industries.
Orange peel embossed aluminum mirror sheet coil
Displays a surface texture resembling an orange peel (or insect patterns), extensively used in applications such as refrigerator liners, air conditioning units, and packaging.
Diamond pattern mirror finish aluminum sheet
The surface is exceptionally smooth, with a reflectivity close to 90%. Widely utilized for decorative purposes like wall protection panels and door kick plates.
The production process of Chalco mirror aluminum
Mechanical polishing
Initially, diamond grinding wheels are used to polish the surface of aluminum alloy until it becomes smooth. Following the polishing, a sodium nitrate water solution is applied to prevent abrasions that might affect the overall aesthetics.
Electrochemical polishing
Subsequently, a mixture of phosphoric acid, nitric acid, and sulfuric acid is employed for the chemical and electrochemical polishing of the aluminum profiles.
Surface treatment
The finely polished mirror-finish aluminum sheets undergo additional surface treatments such as anodizing, coloring, embossing, and others.
Chalco's production process for mirror aluminum sheets encompasses various techniques, including mechanical polishing, chemical polishing, electrochemical polishing, and surface treatments. These methods are employed to achieve a smooth, durable, and highly reflective mirror effect.
Buying Chalco mirror aluminum sheets: things to consider
Q: Which type of mirror aluminum should I choose?
A: For applications where high reflectivity is needed without emphasizing durability, polished aluminum mirror sheets are a good choice. However, if durability and scratch resistance are important factors, anodized aluminum mirror sheets are more suitable.
Q: How should I select the thickness of aluminum mirror sheets?
A: Aluminum mirror sheets are available in various thicknesses, and the choice should depend on the specific application. Thicker aluminum mirror sheets are better suited for applications that require higher durability, such as household appliance casings and automotive decorative uses.
Q: How should I determine the size of aluminum mirror sheets?
A: Aluminum mirror sheets come in various sizes, and choosing the appropriate size should depend on the specific application scenario. Larger aluminum mirror sheets are typically used in commercial and industrial applications, while moderate sizes can be custom-fitted based on project requirements.
Q: What are the different surface treatment methods for aluminum mirror sheets?
A: Aluminum mirror sheets can undergo various surface treatments such as polishing, brushing, coloring, embossing, and anodizing. The appropriate treatment method depends on the desired aesthetics and the intended application. For instance, if you need lampshades, embossed hammer pattern mirror aluminum sheets may be suitable, while for architectural curtain walls, anodized mirror aluminum sheets would be more advisable due to their higher durability.
