About WirGlas
WirGlas (Herbert Wirnshofer – Glas & Spiegel Bearbeitung) has been manufacturing and processing glass and mirrors since 1984 for customers from industry, trade and the private sector. The product range includes small-format cuts in thicknesses of 1 to 5 mm – rectangular from approx. 3×3 mm, round from approx. 8 mm diameter, as well as freeform shapes, segment arcs and cut-outs. Processing services include grinding, drilling and countersinking, milling as well as sandblasting/satin finishing, plus edge processing from deburring to beveling and polishing. Materials processed include float glass, flat mirrors, optically anti-reflective glass (SIFLEX AR T98, CONTURAN Magic) and chrome-coated front-surface mirrors; furthermore concave and convex mirrors (magnifying and reducing mirrors) with silver or chrome coatings. Production ranges from one-off pieces to small and large series, including mirror mosaics and mirror objects from in-house production. The site is located at Am Graben 2 in Weiding in the Upper Palatinate.

Materials & Processing Methods
Float glass 1–5 mm
Base material for rectangular, round and freeform cuts.
Flat mirror 2–5 mm
Flat mirror for small-format cuts and mosaic surfaces.
Optically anti-reflective glass, 3 mm
For applications without disturbing double reflections.
Optically anti-reflective glass, 3 mm
Anti-reflective glass for displays and technical applications.
Chrome-vaporized front-surface mirror, 2 mm
99.5% chrome, reflectance 55–60%, partially light-transmissive, also suitable for light tunnels.
Concave caps with silver coating
Magnifying mirrors with curvature radii of 400, 600 and 800 mm.
Convex caps with chrome or silver coating
Reducing mirrors with curvature radius of 315 mm (chrome) or 1100, 1400, 2000 mm (silver).
