T30 Mirror Display Glass Specifications and Price Guide
For bulk purchasing, T30/R70 mirror display glass raw sheets are approximately USD 20 per square meter FOB China Port. A basic finished route with cutting, precision edge polishing and physical tempering is approximately USD 30 per square meter. These are budget references, not fixed prices for every order. Finished dimensions, cutting yield, holes, printing, glass build-up, quantity and export packing can move the final quotation.
Quick Price Reference
| Type | Common Use | Reference FOB China Price | What May Change the Final Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| T30/R70 raw sheet | Bulk buyers with their own cutting and processing capability | About USD 20/sqm FOB China Port | Thickness, sheet size, order volume, cutting yield, packing and trade terms |
| T30/R70 tempered finished glass | Smart mirrors, appliance displays and commercial display panels | About USD 30/sqm FOB China Port | Finished dimensions, edgework, holes, printing, tempering yield, packing and quantity |
| Laminated, IGU, jumbo or 15mm project route | Safety glazing, outdoor digital facades and large display walls | Project quotation | Glass build-up, drawings, safety route, handling, crate design and transport |
Common Thicknesses and Where They Fit
| Thickness Route | Typical Applications | Main Buying Concern |
|---|---|---|
| 1.1mm-2mm | Lightweight smart devices, compact appliance panels and small display mirrors | Low weight, flatness, handling and assembly support |
| 3.2mm-5mm | Smart bathroom mirrors, beauty mirrors, hotel mirrors and fitness mirrors | Mirror appearance, display brightness, touch response and safety |
| 5mm-6mm | Commercial advertising machines, transport-hub displays and larger mirror panels | Tempering, vibration, edge quality and mounting |
| 8mm-12mm | Elevator mirror displays, large commercial systems and structural display panels | Weight, public-use safety, processing and installation |
| 15mm or laminated/IGU route | Jumbo digital facades and special outdoor projects | Engineering review, crate design, lifting and transport |
Thickness should not be chosen by price alone. A thin panel may be appropriate for a framed appliance but unsuitable for a large public installation. A thicker panel adds strength and stiffness, but it also adds weight, handling cost and processing risk.
Standard and Jumbo Sheet Sizes
Common sheet sizes include 915 x 1220mm, 1830 x 2440mm, 2440 x 3660mm and 3300 x 4880mm. North One Glass can review jumbo mirror display coating projects up to 3300 x 16000mm. The largest available sheet is not automatically the cheapest route. The best mother-sheet size is the one that fits the buyer's finished cutting layout with the least waste. Sending a nesting drawing or a complete size list allows the factory to compare yield before quoting.
What the USD 20 Raw-Sheet Reference Means
The raw-sheet reference is intended for bulk buyers who can cut and process the glass locally. It does not automatically include custom cutting, polished edges, holes, printing, tempering, lamination, IGU construction, export crates or freight. Raw sheets can be efficient when the buyer has reliable downstream processing and wants to optimize local production. They create more responsibility for coating-side protection, tempering compatibility, cutting yield and quality control at the buyer's plant.
What the USD 30 Tempered Reference Means
The approximately USD 30 per square meter reference is a basic bulk finished route that includes cutting, precision edge polishing and physical tempering. It is most useful for early budgeting of rectangular smart mirror or display panels. The final price rises when the order includes many mixed sizes, shaped CNC edges, bevels, multiple holes, narrow black silk-screen borders, lamination, insulated glass, heat-soak testing, jumbo handling or special export packing.
The Five Variables That Change the Quote Most
- Finished dimensions determine cutting yield and offcut waste.
- Quantity per size determines whether setup and processing can be spread across a production batch.
- Holes, notches and shaped edges change tempering feasibility and breakage risk.
- Printing, lamination and IGU construction add materials, production steps and quality checks.
- Packing and destination change crate design, loading weight and delivery cost.
Buying Mistakes to Avoid
Do not compare a raw-sheet price from one supplier with a finished tempered price from another. Do not send only total square meters; provide the length, width and quantity of each panel. Do not approve mass production before testing the actual display brightness and touch response. For large panels, confirm lifting and installation before choosing thickness.
How North One Glass Helps Control Cost
North One Glass can compare available mother-sheet sizes against the finished cutting list, supply raw sheets or processed panels and combine cutting, edging, drilling, tempering, silk-screen printing, lamination and IGU production. This reduces the number of separate processors involved and makes coating-side control easier.
Quotation Preparation Notes
For an accurate quotation, send the application, optical ratio, thickness, raw-sheet or finished-panel requirement, length and width of each size, quantity per size, processing drawing, packing method and destination port. For a touchscreen, also provide screen type and brightness.
FAQ
Is USD 20 per square meter a fixed price for every thickness?
No. It is a rounded bulk raw-sheet reference. Thickness, sheet size, volume, packing and trade terms still affect the quotation.
Does the USD 30 tempered price include holes and printing?
Not automatically. It represents a basic cut, polished-edge and tempered route. Holes, shaped processing and custom silk-screen printing require drawing review.
Which thickness is the safest starting point for a smart bathroom mirror?
3.2mm, 4mm and 5mm are common starting points. The correct choice depends on finished size, frame support, installation, local safety requirements and the display assembly.
