In classical and modern interior architecture, high-density polymer-based decorative elements play a critical role in establishing a balance of depth, light, and symmetry. The Mirror collection by Polure is manufactured using advanced technology that eliminates the structural deformation risks and heavy weight associated with traditional plaster or wood alternatives. Produced from rigid polyurethane (PU) raw material with a density of 150-200 kg/m³, these frames offer a surface hardness close to wood while maintaining an exceptionally lightweight structure. This lightweight design minimizes the static load on structural elements, particularly in large-scale wall installations.
High-Tech Material Structure and Durability
The closed-cell structure of rigid foam technology keeps the material's water absorption rate below 1%. Consequently, the products do not suffer from swelling, rotting, or loss of dimensional stability when exposed to moisture, steam, or direct water contact. The absence of structural defects such as expansion, shrinkage, and warping ensures long-lasting performance, especially in high-humidity wet areas and entryways subject to temperature fluctuations. With a temperature resistance ranging from -20°C to +80°C, these frame models successfully retain their shape even under challenging environmental conditions. Furthermore, the self-extinguishing property of the material once the flame source is removed enhances the fire safety of buildings.
Architectural Details and Aesthetic Flexibility
Thanks to advanced molding techniques, every detail—from the finest baroque ornamentation to sharp, modern geometric lines—is flawlessly transferred to the surface. For instance, the design with product code P1801, measuring 46x285x1320 mm, aesthetically balances large wall areas in both vertical and horizontal orientations. Unlike the fragility of plaster or the knotty texture of wood, these products offer a highly homogeneous surface quality. The factory-applied primer coat prepares the surface for the final topcoat. Water-based or synthetic paints can be easily applied to the surface of the products.
Key Considerations for Painting and Priming
The specialized factory-applied primer is designed to enhance paint adhesion. However, to ensure the ultimate quality and durability of the finish, an important detail must be considered. Paint manufacturers do not guarantee topcoat applications performed directly without using their own proprietary primers. Therefore, applying an additional primer coat after installation is entirely optional, and the choice and responsibility lie with the user. Polure does not guarantee or assume liability for the performance of third-party paint and primer products. For outdoor applications, UV-resistant paints must be preferred to prevent yellowing caused by solar radiation.
Usage Areas
Thanks to their aesthetic and functional qualities, our mirror models are highly preferred in various areas of both residential and commercial projects. In interior applications, they are used to create focal points on living room walls, complement dining room console designs, serve as full-length mirrors in bedrooms, and make narrow corridors appear more spacious. With a water absorption rate below 1%, they can be safely installed in high-humidity environments such as bathrooms, spa areas, and indoor pool surrounds. For exterior designs, they can be integrated with column capitals, cornices, or entrance portals. When used outdoors, they must be protected with UV-resistant exterior paints due to direct exposure to sunlight.
Installation
The wall surface to be applied must be completely clean, dry, and free of dust. First, the installation boundaries should be clearly marked using a spirit level. For corner joints, miter cutting should be performed at a 45-degree angle. During the bonding phase, only polyurethane (PU) assembly adhesive must be used; silicone-based adhesives must be strictly avoided. Mechanical fastening with screws is mandatory to ensure the frame fits snugly against the wall and does not slip. Screw heads and joints should be filled with a high-quality joint filler. Once the filler dries, the surface is smoothed using 180-220 grit sandpaper. After an optional additional primer coat is applied, the process is completed with two coats of water-based or synthetic paint. For exterior applications, fillers suitable for outdoor use must be applied to the joints.
Care Information
Cleaning the frames made of high-density rigid foam is highly practical. For dusting and general cleaning, we recommend using a slightly damp, soft microfiber cloth. Harsh chemical cleaners containing acids, thinners, bleach, or abrasive particles must never be used, as they can damage the paint finish. The glass surface inside the frame can be cleaned with standard glass cleaners, but care should be taken to prevent these liquids from accumulating in the frame channels. Structurally resistant to impacts, these products retain their shape and color for many years with proper maintenance.
