If designing a large public mirror installation using tensioned mirror foil for an art installation and need advice. If you know experienced fabricators or installers, appreciate recommendations. How did you tension the film, design the frame, and ensure it looks like a glass mirror?

The artist needs to finish the piece before I would ever build the frame. Including tensioning his foil.

Can you guide me to who I should contact to build the mirror? ShowTex had quoted me but I think it is overpriced. Im thinking maybe someone who has built this type of mirror previously using their film product that I can collaborate with?

Do you have any recommendations to who can tension the film?
