Laminated mirror for the elevator interiors.
Cabins of elevators in residential buildings must be equipped with a laminated mirror to comply with standards and visually expand a small room. In addition, reflective elements help people more easily tolerate the fear of closed spaces and other phobias. On a subconscious level, a person calms down when he sees himself and the actions of strangers reflected in the mirror.
What types of laminated mirror are used in the elevators?
There are a variety of models on the market, primarily differing by the type of installation. The mirror can be mounted into the wall of the cabin or simply placed on it using special fasteners.
Tempered and laminated mirror is the most common requirement for the elevator interior. Modern models allow you to make a anti-vandal mirror without defacing the aesthetic component of the finished product.
Elevators in shopping and business centers are most often equipped with full-length laminated mirror. Such models fit harmoniously into the interior and doesnt stand out against the background of the transparent walls of the elevator cabin. In the residential buildings, a small mirror size is preferable; it is enough to cover the displayed space above the waist.
There is a whole list of requirements for mirror installation in the elevator cabins. The instructions mainly concern the safety and anti-vandal protection, so we list the main characteristics of laminated mirror that meets the standards:
special mounting brackets, these can be moldings and clips;
laminated mirror consisting of at least two layers;
The mirror must be safe.
The mirror in the elevator is not only a decorative element or visual expansion of space. Another standard defines the mandatory installation of laminated mirror in the elevator cabin as a device that will help disabled people to navigate in space.
