Mirror Backing

Foil Safety Backing serves two functions, firstly as a safety backing and secondly it is a protection for the silvering from water  and wall salt deterioration

It is compatible with mirror adhesive

It allows the mirror to carry a BS6206 cat C Safety Rating

It will often be required by building regulations – in all public spaces and commercial premises, high usage areas, kitchens and bathrooms

(Foil Safety Backing should not be confused with standard plastic safety backing – this should not be applied to the back of wall mirrors as it contains a chemical on the surface that over time will delaminate the mirror from any adhesive)
