Commercial
Restroom Mirrors

ADA-Compliant When Properly Installed

Under the 2010 ADA Standards §603.3, a restroom mirror is compliant based on mounting height, not tilt. Above a lavatory or counter, the bottom edge of the reflecting surface must be no higher than 40 inches (1015 mm) above the finished floor. Not over a lavatory, the limit is 35 inches (890 mm).

A flat mirror mounted at the correct height already satisfies §603.3 — a tilted mirror is not required. Many facilities still add a fixed-tilt mirror as a courtesy so seated users get a better view, which is fine, but don't assume you need one to be compliant.

Channel Frame
A one-piece, roll-formed stainless frame with a slim face. The most economical and most common commercial mirror. Clean, seamless, and easy to swap out.

Angle / Welded Frame
A heavier frame with an angled return and corners welded and ground smooth — no mechanical seams to pry. More substantial and harder to damage than a channel frame.

Frameless
No frame — a polished or beveled edge for a modern, minimal look. Common in design-driven retail, restaurants and offices.

Fixed-Position Tilt
Angled forward at the top so a seated or wheelchair user can see themselves. Often used in accessible restrooms (note: not actually required by ADA — height is what matters).

Adjustable Tilt
Like a fixed tilt, but the angle can be changed at the wall. Useful where the same mirror serves both standing and seated users (e.g. Bradley 782).

Mirror + Shelf
A channel- or angle-frame mirror with an integrated stainless utility shelf below it — a ledge for toiletries without mounting a separate accessory.

Medicine Cabinet
A mirror door over a surface- or recessed-mounted cabinet with interior shelves. Adds storage for healthcare, dorm and assisted-living restrooms.

LED Backlit
Integrated perimeter or edge lighting for a premium, evenly-lit look. Needs an electrical connection, so plan the rough-in before ordering.

Standard Float Glass
The clearest, most accurate reflection and the lowest cost. The right choice for the large majority of standard commercial restrooms.

Tempered (Safety) Glass
Heat-treated so it crumbles into small, dull pieces instead of sharp shards. Choose it where injury liability matters — schools, gyms, and healthcare.

Stainless Steel (No Glass)
A polished stainless reflective panel that cannot be shattered at all. The reflection is slightly softer than glass — the trade-off for maximum vandal and outdoor resistance.
