What Is Clarke's Safety Mirrors (csmirrors.co.uk)?

Updated

Clarke's Safety Mirrors is a UK manufacturer and supplier of safety mirrors, trading at csmirrors.co.uk. The company has supplied mirrors to safety-conscious industries since 1997 and describes itself as the UK market leader for the manufacture and supply of safety mirrors. Its range covers mirrors with durability levels from shatter-resistant to virtually unbreakable, aimed at environments where standard glass mirrors would be a breakage or injury risk.

Who it is for

The site names education, health, correctional, care and other safety-conscious industries as its customer base. That focus explains the product design: mirrors are built to resist impact, vandalism or self-harm rather than to serve purely decorative purposes.

Manufacturing and specification

Products are manufactured in the UK, and the company states its manufacturing facility is powered with 100% renewable electricity. It is an NBS Source partner, meaning its products are listed on the NBS Source specification platform — useful if you need to specify a mirror within a construction or refurbishment project. A product catalogue is available as a PDF from the site.

How to use the site

  1. Browse by product type from the main product listing, or open the PDF catalogue for a full overview.
  2. Open an individual product page to see thickness, material and fixing details.
  3. Use "Get a Quote" for pricing, since the site does not publish prices directly.
  4. For custom requirements — bespoke glass mirrors or custom slogan messages — the site indicates these are available on request.

Practical considerations

  • Match the mirror to the risk. Acrylic suits general impact resistance; polycarbonate and stainless steel are positioned for high-impact or fire-resistance needs; ligature-resistant models are specifically for corrections and mental health settings.
  • Check the standard where glass is used. Safety backed glass mirrors are supplied to BS6206 class B & C, which is the relevant reference if your specification calls for it.
  • Uneven walls. The SecurVue™ panel is designed to maintain flatness on uneven substrates, which is a common problem with thin mirror sheets.
  • Outdoor use. Convex mirrors are the weatherproof option and include fixing kits.
  • Pricing and lead times are not shown on the site, so a quote request is the route to confirmed costs.
