EnglishCustomisation and Safety Features at Clarke's Safety Mirrors
Updated
Yes. Clarke's Safety Mirrors offers custom mirrors on request, and several product lines carry built-in safety features you can match to your environment. The site states "Custom mirrors available upon request" and lists slogan mirrors you can create with your own message. Beyond that, the safety features are largely baked into the material and construction of each range rather than sold as add-ons — so the practical question is which range already includes the protection your site needs.
Customisation options
Two forms of customisation are documented on the site:
- Custom mirrors on request. The site states custom mirrors are available upon request, without listing the specific dimensions, shapes or lead times involved. If your opening, wall or substrate is non-standard, this is the route to ask about.
- Slogan mirrors with your own message. These are impact-resistant safety mirrors that double as signage. You create your own message, which the site positions as an addition to site and workplace safety — useful where you want a mirror and a safety reminder in the same fixture.
For anything beyond these two, treat the site as a starting point and confirm feasibility directly, since the page does not publish a configurator or a list of custom parameters.
Safety features by product range
The features below are drawn from the product descriptions on the site. They are properties of the product, not optional extras.
| Product range | Key safety feature | Where it suits |
|---|---|---|
| Acrylic Mirrors | Strong, lightweight, impact resistant; 3mm and 6mm thicknesses | Fixing to any flat substrate |
| Polycarbonate Mirrors | Virtually unbreakable; approximately 200 times stronger than glass; high impact and fire resistance | High-impact areas where fire performance matters |
| Stainless Steel Mirrors | Anti-vandal; high-grade 304 stainless steel; hygienic and durable | Vandal-prone or hygiene-sensitive areas |
| Ligature Resistant Mirrors | Flat and dome versions designed specifically for harsh corrections and mental health environments | Corrections and mental health settings |
| Safety Backed Glass Mirrors | Safety backed to BS6206 class B & C with polished edges | General use where glass is acceptable |
| SecurVue™ Acrylic Mirror Panel | 6mm acrylic with an integrated aluminium subframe fixed to the rear; stays rigid and flat even on uneven substrates | Walls that are not flat |
| Heavy Duty Stainless Steel Mirrors | Virtually unbreakable, with a 6mm PVC backing for added rigidity and strength | Demanding environments needing extra stiffness |
| Framed Impact Resistant Glass Mirrors | Fire retardant foam backing that absorbs human body impact; choice of frames | Areas where body impact is a risk |
| Dome Observation Mirrors | Interior observation | Internal sightline coverage |
| Convex Mirrors | Weatherproof, indoor and outdoor use, 90-degree field of view, fixing kits included | Outdoor and indoor visibility |
How to choose between them
The deciding factor is usually the failure mode you are protecting against:
- Impact from people or objects → polycarbonate (about 200 times stronger than glass) or framed impact resistant glass with its impact-absorbing foam backing.
- Deliberate vandalism → stainless steel, described as anti-vandal.
- Self-harm risk → ligature resistant flat and dome mirrors, designed for corrections and mental health environments.
- Uneven or imperfect walls → SecurVue™, where the aluminium subframe keeps the panel flat regardless of the substrate.
- Extra rigidity in heavy use → heavy duty stainless steel with its 6mm PVC backing.
- Outdoor exposure → weatherproof convex mirrors, which include fixing kits.
If more than one risk applies, the higher-specification range generally covers the lower one — for example, a ligature resistant or stainless steel product in a space that also sees heavy impact.
What the site does not tell you
The page does not publish prices, custom dimension limits, lead times, or ordering and payment details. It also does not state whether custom work carries a minimum order. Confirm these directly before specifying, particularly for custom sizes or slogan mirrors where artwork and approval steps may affect timing.
For context on the supplier: Clarke's Safety Mirrors describes itself as a UK manufacturer and market leader for safety mirrors, supplying safety-conscious industries since 1997, with products listed on NBS Source and a manufacturing facility powered by 100% renewable electricity.
