Abstract:
1. A kit comprising: a plurality of first surface mirrors including glass sheets supporting coatings; and a packaging system for holding the plurality of first surface mirrors in a package in substantially parallel spaced-apart relation to each other, the system comprising: a plurality of resilient and flexible substantially U-shaped strips, each said substantially U-shaped strip being disposable around at least part of a first edge of every other first surface mirror of the plurality of first surface mirrors when said first surface mirrors are placed in the package, wherein the substantially U-shaped strips comprise a base from which two legs extend downward in a substantially parallel manner along opposing major sides of the corresponding first surface mirror when said first surface mirrors are placed in the package; and a plurality of second strips, each said second strip being disposed at or proximate a second edge, opposite the first edge, of every glass sheet of the plurality of first surface mirrors so as to form air gaps between adjacent first surface mirrors of the plurality of first surface mirrors when said first surface mirrors are placed in the package, wherein the substantially U-shaped strips and/or the second strips are integrally formed as a part of the package, wherein the substantially U-shaped strips and the second strips are formed from one or more of plastic, cork, foam, rubber, felt, and vinyl, and the air gaps are provided over at least about 70% of a surface area of the major side of each adjacent first surface mirror.
