Depending on the material from which the mirror film (amalgam) is created, the mirror surfaces are divided into aluminum and silver. Mirror interior items with aluminum film are inexpensive, but their showing ability is extremely low. Silver mirrors are more expensive, but also serve longer, and also guarantee perfect display.
