So how much would it cost when one of your guys drops something on this mirror thing and breaks it? :dry:

It seems it might be bad for high-rises that are next to lower buildings with the mirrors. But even TPO reflecting on itself leads to premature deterioration in that spot.

I had a friend that has a shed off the west side of his house. The siding had warped and melted on the corner of the east side (towards the house). After considerable investigation as to why the siding had warped, he discovered it was the sun reflecting off one of his 2nd story windows on the west side of the house reflecting down onto the side of his shed. He showed me pics of 2 cross shaped reflections of sunlight beaming on that exact spot from that double hung window.

I mention this in response to Spudder's post and wonder what the potential defect / danger could happen in mirror roof tops.

Pretty neat, I wonder if the reflection of the sun will blind any aircraft pilots, but I'm sure they figured it out already B) B)
