Simple Coating for Making Mirror out of glass

Q. Hello,

We are manufacturing handicrafts wherein some Borosil glass pieces are used. These need to look like mirrors. Can you please suggest to us the chemicals and process of coating (Hot or Cold ) which may be done manually for the plain glass pieces to look like mirrors. In simple words the simple manual process of making mirror of a glass.

We shall be highly obliged.

Regards.
