Plastic mirror use?
I was doing some demolition work recently, which happened to include removal of just over 50 2'X2' plastic mirror tiles from a suspended ceiling.
I was able to take the mirror tiles, and am trying to decide what's going to be the best use for them. I was thinking that they might best be used for some sort of solar project. They could be used in a number of ways: A: Set up outside to reflect more like into house in the winter B: Use as reflectors to increase efficiency of solar panels (solar water or PV) C: Build solar ovens D: Build some sort of solar concentrator E: Other Use? Anyone have any other ideas for how to use this material? Some good use for it besides solar? Let me know

Use them to reflect away sunlight during the summer.

I wonder if the tiles should be used outside in the direct sun? I'm thinking about quick deterioration from heat and UV.
But if you make a dance studio, then I just might come by a few times |
