Rectangular Convex Mirrors: The Perfect Solution for Low Ceilings

Improve Safety and Security in Tight Spaces

Traditional round convex mirrors offer a wide-angle view, but they can be impractical for areas with low ceilings. Here at National Safety Mirror, we understand this challenge. That’s why we offer a variety of rectangular convex mirrors explicitly designed to address clearance limitations while providing the same exceptional visibility.

Critical Benefits of Rectangular Convex Mirrors:

  • Ideal for Low Ceilings: The rectangular shape allows the mirror to be mounted flush against the ceiling without sacrificing the viewing area. This makes them perfect for hallways, stores, offices, and other locations with limited headroom.
  • Wide Viewing Angle: Like round convex mirrors, rectangular convex mirrors provide a panoramic view, giving you a clear line of sight into blind spots and hard-to-see areas.
  • Improved Safety and Security: Rectangular convex mirrors’ increased visibility can deter theft, vandalism, and other crimes. They can also help prevent accidents in busy areas by improving situational awareness for employees and customers.
  • Durable Construction: Our rectangular convex mirrors are made from high-impact acrylic, making them resistant to scratches and breakage. They are also available with various backing materials, including hardboard, plastic, and galvanized steel, to suit your needs.

Applications for Rectangular Convex Mirrors:

  • Retail Stores: Monitor aisles, checkout areas, and high-value merchandise displays.
  • Warehouses and Industrial Facilities: Improve safety and efficiency in loading docks, shipping areas, and production lines.
  • Schools and Offices: Enhance visibility in hallways, corridors, and other common areas.
  • Hospitals and Healthcare Facilities: Increase safety and security in patient rooms, waiting areas, and staff break rooms.

Locations for Rountagular Mirror Usage

“Roundtagular” or “Rectangular” convex mirrors are similar to standard round convex mirrors, except a portion of the top and bottom of the mirror is cut off. For example, a 24” x 36” roundtangular mirror is essentially a 36” round convex security mirror with a 6” cut off the top and bottom of the mirror. This is useful for using a convex mirror in your office. If it were a 36” standard convex mirror, it would hang very low and, in some situations, block the door, for example. Since some of the top and bottom are cut off, this might provide enough clearance for the door to open.

Imagine a covered parking garage notorious for lower ceilings. A rectangular convex mirror would allow you to use a large convex mirror, but because the top and bottom portions are removed, it won’t hang too low in the garage.

The lenses are acrylic, which is 17 times more impact-resistant than glass. If scratched, a simple polish will buff out most scratches.

Below are two different options. For indoor use, the hardboard backing is recommended. It is more cost-effective and provides a solid back for the mounting brackets to attach to.

For the outdoor options, you can choose between the heavy-duty plastic back and the galvanized steel. The heavy-duty plastic back is 1/8” high-density polyethylene, superior to virtually all other backing types. It’s lightweight, rugged, and rigid and performs extraordinarily well in extreme temperatures. The galvanized steel is 20-gauge steel, heavier than plastic and significantly more expensive. Although certain situations may call for steel backing, generally speaking, we would recommend heavy-duty plastic.

The weight becomes significant when mounting this mirror outdoors. Due to the mirror’s shape and the steel’s added weight, larger rectangular mirrors need three telescoping mounting arms to withstand heavy winds. We sometimes recommend the newer DomeVex Traffic mirror over the rectangular choices here.
