A blind corner in a warehouse aisle or car park causes more near-misses than almost any other single hazard, and a convex safety mirror is the simplest fix available. This 500mm stainless steel convex mirror gives a wide-angle view around corners, doorways and junctions, letting pedestrians, forklift drivers and vehicles see each other before they meet.

The reflective surface is a single acrylic convex lens set into a heavy-gauge stainless steel rim and backed with a weatherproof ABS shell, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor mounting. At 500mm diameter it gives a genuinely wide field of view from a practical fixing distance, and the anti-vandal casing resists impact and tampering in busy public-facing locations. It ships with a fixing bracket for wall or corner mounting and is fully weatherproofed for permanent outdoor installation.

Why it works

• 500mm convex lens – gives a genuinely wide field of view around blind corners
• Stainless steel rim – resists corrosion and impact in busy or outdoor locations
• Anti-vandal ABS shell – built to withstand knocks and tampering in public areas
• Weatherproof construction – suitable for permanent indoor or outdoor mounting
• Adjustable fixing bracket – angles to suit the exact corner or junction being covered

Where it's used

These mirrors are fitted at warehouse aisle junctions and racking corners, loading bay entrances, car park ramps and blind corners, factory floors where forklifts and pedestrians share space, and at the entrances to stairwells, corridors and multi-storey car parks. Anywhere a driver, forklift operator or pedestrian cannot see what is approaching from the other direction, a convex mirror gives the early warning needed to avoid a collision.

Specifications

Choosing the right mirror: 500mm is a strong general-purpose size for most warehouse aisles, car park corners and building entrances. For very wide junctions or long sightlines, a larger diameter gives a wider field of view from further away; for tighter internal corners, a smaller mirror mounted closer to the hazard can be just as effective. Mount the mirror at a height and angle that gives a clear line of sight along both approaching routes.

Installation, use and care

Fix the bracket to a wall, post or corner at a height that covers the sightline of both pedestrians and vehicles, typically between 1.8 and 2.4 metres. Angle the mirror so that the full width of the blind corner is visible in the convex lens, then tighten the bracket fixings fully. Clean the lens periodically with a soft cloth and glass cleaner to maintain a clear reflection, and check the bracket fixings and angle after any impact.

Frequently asked questions

Can this mirror be used outdoors?
Yes, the housing and rim are weatherproof and suitable for permanent outdoor installation.

Does the mirror distort the reflected image?
Yes, by design; the convex lens compresses a wide field of view into the mirror surface so that objects at the edges appear smaller and further away than they are, which is normal for this type of mirror.

What height should the mirror be mounted at?
Typically between 1.8 and 2.4 metres so that it sits above head height while giving a clear view down both sightlines; adjust to suit the specific location.
