PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a new method of producing a polymer mirror. SOLUTION: The method for producing the polymer mirror includes a process of continuously manufacturing a polymeric substrate, and a process of applying a reflective layer; the reflective layer may be of a polymer whose surface has been metallized to make it a reflective film or a multilayered film wherein the combined refractive indices of the layers give characteristics of a mirror surface. An optional coating can be applied to the surface of the reflective layer to promote adhesion to the underlying substrate. The composite material is formed by heat lamination using a calender roll assembly to fuse the layers into a rigid final article having a reflective surface having the characteristics of a silver mirror, a highly reflective mirror, or a colored mirror.
