Installation Recommendations

For best results, use hanger bolts with tamper-proof security nuts for secure mounting and easy sacrificial layer replacement. Hardware must be 3/8” stainless steel (not included) appropriate for the wall surface. Ensure 3/4” or greater back bracing for maximum strength. Through-bolting is recommended where possible.

Mirror Surface and Reflection Quality

While not glass, the AA-PSM’s #8 polished stainless surface provides a clear, functional mirror reflection with the added benefit of safety and impact resistance. Slight visual distortions may be present depending on the size and mounting surface, which is normal for polished stainless steel. These mirrors are intended for environments that prioritize durability and safety over optical perfection.

Cleaning and Maintenance Instructions

• Use a Mild Cleaner: Apply a non-abrasive cleaner like Windex and wipe with a soft microfiber cloth to maintain clarity without scratching.
• Dry Thoroughly: Always ensure the surface is completely dry after cleaning to prevent spotting or moisture retention.

Following these care instructions will ensure the long-term performance and appearance of your vandal-resistant mirror.

Competitor Comparison

Unlike traditional glass mirrors or framed units with sacrificial overlays, the AA-PSM is a single-layer polished stainless steel solution with no glass to break, crack, or shatter. Competitor models like the Bobrick B-165 may offer standard glass solutions, but the AA-PSM delivers unmatched vandal resistance and safety for high-impact environments.
