Primarily sold as a safer alternative to glass, especially where breakage poses a liability, these mirrors are ideal for high-impact or high-vibration environments like gyms, public restrooms, school hallways, or vehicle engine bays. Customers value the enhanced safety and durability in scenarios where traditional mirrors are prone to damage. The purpose of these mirrors is not to provide a perfect mirror reflection but rather an acceptable mirror reflection while ultimately providing superior durability for high vibration, impact or vandal prone facilities.

Graffiti / Scratch Removal From Mirror
Our product comprises two key components: a durable stainless steel frame and a sacrificial layer of polycarbonate positioned in front of the mirror. The stainless steel frame offers robustness and is resistant to minor scratches, which can typically be buffed out using a polishing wheel and a mild abrasive. The polycarbonate layer, designed to protect the mirror, can be easily repaired from scratches with a heat gun, a process that is straightforward and demonstrated in the linked YouTube video. In cases where the polycarbonate layer sustains deep scratches that are beyond repair, it can be conveniently removed and replaced, ensuring the longevity and aesthetic appeal of the product.

Inspection Prior to Installation:
Maintaining the flatness of Polished Stainless Steel Mirrors is crucial, particularly for larger sizes. Upon immediate receipt, it's imperative to photograph the unopened packaging from all angles to validate its condition upon arrival, ensuring any shipping damages are thoroughly documented. Before installation, inspect each mirror for quality, which involves carefully removing the protective shrink wrap while it's laid flat and meticulously examining the reflective surface for any abnormalities from potential physical impact. Some minor mirror abnormalities may be considered normal depending on size (see Mirror Surface notes below). While a video of the unpacking process is preferred, at a minimum, photos must be taken. Report any deformities to us before installation; post-installation, mirrors are deemed accepted by the contractor or end user.
Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions
To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your vandal-resistant framed mirror, it is crucial to prevent moisture from getting between the sacrificial plexiglass and the polished stainless steel reflective surface. If moisture accumulates in this area, it can lead to mold growth between the two layers.
- Use a Mild Cleaning Agent: Clean the surfaces using a mild cleaning agent, such as Windex, and a microfiber cloth. This will help avoid scratching the mirror or plexiglass.
- Ensure Complete Dryness: Before reassembling the mirror, make sure that both the plexiglass and the reflective surface are completely dry. This will help prevent moisture buildup and potential mold growth.
By following these instructions, you can maintain the integrity and appearance of your vandal-resistant mirror.
Installation:
Pre-Installation Cleaning Required: Before installation, it is mandatory to clean both the plexiglass and the reflective surface. This step is essential due to potential moisture that might have crept in during shipping. Ensure that both surfaces are completely dry before reassembling the mirror to prevent moisture buildup and potential mold growth.

Why Are Stocked Items More Expensive?
We're adapting to your needs! While we specialize in made-to-order products, we recognize the growing demand for immediate availability. Adjusting to this requires foresight in demand anticipation, material procurement, initiating stock production, and warehousing—all incurring additional costs. Consequently, our stocked items are priced to reflect these overheads. For customers who can accommodate a production lead time, we're pleased to offer discounted pricing as a thank you for your flexibility.
