Mirror Strength Guide
Safety Backed Glass Mirrors
Our glass mirrors are supplied with a polypropylene backing tested to BS6206 Class B & C (BS EN 12600 2B2) and mechanical fixings. All our glass mirrors are manufactured with polished edges (2mm bevel) as standard.
The safety backing helps to hold the shards together in the event of a breakage, reducing the risk of injury. Safety glass mirrors are often used in low risk environments.
For specific applications, we can also supply toughened glass mirrors that comply to BS6206 Class A. Please contact us for more information.
Safety backed glass mirrors must be mechanically fixed. Our standard fixing method is screw holes ad dome head screws. We can also supply safety backed glass mirrors with verity clips or J channels.
Acrylic mirrors
Acrylic mirrors are often used in applications where glass would be unsafe or impractical. Our acrylic mirrors are approximately 10 times stronger than glass, making them a popular choice for educational environments. We can also offer an optional scratch resistant coating for improved abrasion resistance.
Available in 3mm & 6mm thickness. Multiple fixing methods available.
Polycarbonate Mirrors
Our strongest mirror type. Polycarbonate mirrors are virtually unbreakable. These mirrors are used where high impact and fire resistance properties are essential.
Available in 3mm & 6mm thickness. Multiple fixing methods available.
