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.
