DuraVision™ Industrial Safety Mirrors
Convex Safety Mirrors Can Help Avoid Accidents in the Workplace!
See the DuraVision™ range of industrial safety mirrors.
General Purpose Indoor Convex Mirrors for viewing around corners and blind spots. This versatile mirror will adjust to any angle to allow an optimal line of sight. Ideal for checking hard to see areas for pedestrians, forklifts and machinery.
Indoor Acrylic Ceiling Dome Mirrors for viewing in between high shelving, especially for forklift drivers to avoid accidents. Ceiling dome mirrors can be mounted directly to the ceiling or hung at the optimal height using the provided suspension kit.
Indoor Half Dome Mirrors for wide angle viewing at the end of shelving, to see both left and right. Half Dome Mirrors can be screwed straight to the wall or shelving and gives a distortion free 180-degree angle of reflection for forklifts and machinery to check before proceeding.
Outdoor Driveway mirrors for blind corners and entry/exit points. For safety around buildings with heavy machinery and delivery trucks etc. These Outdoor mirrors are fully adjustable and can be pole mounted with optional U-Bolts. (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 view staff and pedestrians in small rooms, and around tight corners: 300mm to 450mm or larger
- To view medium spaces and check for forklift movement: 600mm to 800mm or larger
- To safely view large busy areas and larger machinery movements: 800mm to 1000mm
For Driveways and Machinery 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. For forklift drivers to maneuver safely around high shelving with multiple intersections, a large ceiling dome gives a 360-degree viewing angle.
How is the mirror mounted?
DuraVision standard round mirrors are sold complete with adjustable wall-mounting J-Brackets, whereas indoor half domes and ceiling domes include dome capped crews 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:
- General Purpose Safety Mirrors: Adjustable Wall Mounting J-Brackets
- Indoor Half Dome Mirrors: Dome Capped Screws
- Indoor Ceiling Dome Mirrors: Dome Capped Screws and Suspension Kit
- 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 areas or at risk from heavy machinery, will not rust in coastal areas or sterile environments, 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.
