DuraVision™ Hospital Safety Mirrors
Convex Safety Mirrors Can Help Avoid Accidents in Hospital Corridors
New Zealand made DuraVision™ Hospital Safety Mirrors with 5 Year Warranty.
Indoor Half Dome Mirrors are the most popular hospital mirror in the range to avoid accidents in corridors. Half dome mirrors have a 180° viewing angle to see both left and right at T-Intersections. These indoor mirrors can be screwed straight to the wall and are easily maintained.
General Purpose Indoor Convex Mirrors are a versitile mirror which will adjust to any angle to allow an optimal line of sight to see around corners in corridors or to monitor patients in waiting areas. Ideal for checking any hard to see areas of the building with blind spots.
Indoor Quarter Dome Mirrors to see around blind corners. Ideal for busy 90° corridors, hallways and entranceways where there is limited space on the wall to mount a mirror. The quarter dome fits neatly in the corner and mounts directly to the ceiling.
| Size | View Distance | Mounting Hardware |
|---|---|---|
| 600mm (300x300mm) | Up to 3m | 2 x Dome Capped Screws |
| 900mm (450x450mm) | Up to 6m | 2 x Dome Capped Screws |
Indoor Acrylic Ceiling Dome Mirrors for viewing 4-way intersections to avoid accidents in corridors. Ceiling dome mirrors can be mounted directly to the ceiling or hung at the optimal height using the provided suspension kit for 360° viewing.
Indoor DeLuxe Half Domes have a lid and back, which is ideal for hospital corridors or other public buildings where there is a risk of rubbish being left inside the cavity of the mirror. The celuka board is glued to the mirror face to completely seal the empty space behind the mirror.
Outdoor driveway mirrors can eliminate blind spots in carparks and ambulance bays, making it safer for emergency services to navigate through traffic and pedestrians especially when exits and entranceways are busy and a quick safe deployment is required. (Also available in Stainless Steel Mirror)
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Viewing Distance for a convex mirror calculated?
To calculate viewing distance, measure the distance from the viewer to the mirror, then add the distance from the mirror to the area you want to see. First, measure from the area you are viewing, to where the mirror will be positioned. Next, measure from the mirror position to the area you wish to view. Add these two measurements together to calculate the optimal viewing distance.
What size safety mirror do I need?
The optimal mirror size depends on your viewing distance, the amount of detail you want to see, the viewing angle required and for driveways, the speed of approaching traffic . Use your calculated viewing distance to pick a base size, then adjust for traffic speed and other details, using this guide:
For Indoor Spaces:
- To see movement or for monitoring small rooms, tight corners: 300mm to 450mm or larger
- To see more detail or monitor medium spaces: 600mm to 800mm or larger
- To recognise faces and monitor large areas: 800mm to 1000mm
For Traffic Speed:
- Low Speed (10–30 km/h): 300mm to 450mm or larger
- Medium Speed (40–60 km/h): 600mm to 800mm or larger
- High Speed (70–100 km/h): 800mm to 1000mm (no smaller)
For standard blind corners, a round mirror works best. If you need a 180-degree view to see both left and right, use a Two-Way Half Dome mirror. If the viewing distance in both directions is more than 12 metres, installing two standard round mirrors angled in each direction is the best option.
How is the mirror mounted?
DuraVision mirrors are sold complete with adjustable wall-mounting J-Brackets or pole-clamp brackets, depending on the model, whereas indoor half domes, quarter domes and ceiling domes include dome capped screws and a suspension kit to position ceiling domes at an optimal height. Specific installation guides can be found in the Specification tab on our product pages. Standard inclusions are:
- Standard Indoor Observation Mirrors: Adjustable Wall Mounting J-Brackets
- Indoor Half Dome Mirrors: Dome Capped Screws
- Indoor Quarter Dome Mirrors: Dome Capped Screws
- Indoor Ceiling Dome Mirrors: Dome Capped Screws and Suspension Kit
- Indoor Deluxe Half Dome Mirrors: Wall Screws and Plugs
- Outdoor Acrylic and Stainless Steel Mirrors: Adjustable Wall Mounting J-Brackets
Note: Wall-mounting screws/bolts are not supplied for outdoor mirrors. You can purchase 60mm U-bolts or 75mm U-bolts separately to mount J-bracket mirrors to a pole.
Which mirror material is best: Acrylic, Stainless Steel, or Glass?
The best material depends on your environment: Acrylic is ideal for cost-effective general use, Stainless Steel is virtually unbreakable for vandal-prone or coastal areas, and Glass is obsolete due to safety hazards.
- Acrylic (100% Virgin Optical Grade): Lightweight, shatter-resistant, and UV-stabilised so it will not turn yellow or cloudy. It can scratch if cleaned with harsh chemicals.
- Stainless Steel (Grade 304 Electro-Polished): Virtually unbreakable, vandal-proof, highly weather-resistant for coastal zones, and easy to clean without scratching, though it carries a higher initial cost.
- Glass: DuraVision no longer manufactures glass mirrors due to safety, breakage hazards, and weight.
