"A mirror is essentially a highly reflective surface. The sorts of mirrors you see on walls or in bathrooms are of a type known as back-silvered mirrors. This means that the reflective surface--in most modern mirrors this is aluminum--is viewed through a thin layer of glass. The glass protects the aluminum from scratching and bubbling, but also distorts the image somewhat."

If you wanted to get really technical, mirrors are made of sand, the sand grains are heated and melted together to create glass, then they put a sort of foil on the back of the glass and then a led sheet to sanwich the foil in all nice and tight.
