Silvering

Silvering is a chemical process used to create a reflective mirror surface. It involves applying a solution containing silver ions onto a glass or other transparent surface. When exposed to certain chemicals, the silver ions are reduced to metallic silver, forming a thin, even layer that reflects light. This process is commonly used in mirror manufacturing, where a precise silver coating provides a clear, bright reflection. Silvering offers excellent reflectivity and durability, making it ideal for high-quality mirrors used in homes, laboratories, and telescopes.
