Security Mirrors · Buying guides· Reviewed by SafeGear advisors
First of all, you have to understand for what kind of use you want to buy your security mirror.
Depending on the use of a mirror, it can proceed with several tasks. These include:
Traffic accident prevention for roads
Industrial accident prevention in warehouses / factories when using large machinery
Access control and monitoring over an area or corridor / hallway
Supervision and oversee of employees
Supervision and quality control in production lines
Secondly, these different tasks allow dividing mirrors in various types:
Traffic Mirrors - For Outdoor Use
Industrial Mirrors - For Indoor Use
Inspection Mirrors - For Indoor and Outdoor Use
Shop and Office Mirrors - For Indoor Use
Dome Mirrors - For Indoor Use
Thirdly, you need to pick material. SafeGear provides you to choose one of three materials.
Acrylic - has up to 24 times more resistant then normal glass. Acrylic mirrors are made for interior use.
Polycarbonate - is up to 30 times stronger than glass. Polycarbonate mirrors are made for outdoor use.
Stainless Steel - is the most resistant solution of all mirrors. Stainless Steel Mirrors can be used not only outdoor but also indoor.
Finally, you have to choose the shape of a mirror:
Dome - Mirror provides a good view of a wide area. Dome mirrors help eliminate blind spots.
Rectangular - Mirror is oriented horizontally and thus reducing the vertical space. It is optimal in places with limited space such as where there is a low ceiling.
Round - Mirror offers a larger mirror surface area than a rectangular mirror.
