Frameless mirror doors

Our glass/mirror inspection guidelines

Glass is to be inspected at an angle perpendicular [90 degrees] to the surface and viewed under natural light i.e. not in direct sunlight or under bright lighting. Clear or translucent glass is to be inspected from a viewing distance of 1.5 metres looking through the glass  to a point 1 metre behind the glass.

The general purpose of glass is to be looked through – not at. The above applies to mirrors in as much as mirrors are designed to show a reflection – not focusing on the surface.

Seeds, bubbles and spots smaller than 1 mm are acceptable in any number. Those inclusions that are between 1 mm and 3 mm are allowable as long as there is no more than 1 per panel.

Please Note:- Australian standards allow for inclusions up to 5 mm in diameter.

Australian Building Code AS 1288

These Doors are made in accordance with Australian Building Code AS 1288 Clause 5.11 which states:-

5.11 MIRRORS AND OTHER TYPES OF GLASS SUBJECT TO RISK OF HUMAN IMPACT

Where mirrors and other types of glass are required to be Grade A safety glass, ordinary annealed glass may be substituted when the panel is fully backed by and completely adhered to a solid material.

NOTES:

1. Examples of where full backing is provided include walls, timber cupboards or wardrobe doors.
2. Examples of other types of glass include mirror tiles and painted or ceramic frit glass.
3. It should be noted that toughened safety glass mirrors are likely to distort as a result of the toughening process.
