Bobrick B-290-2436 (24 x 36) Welded-Frame Mirror, 24"W x 36"H

24" x 36" Mirrors | Bobrick B-290 Series

Public restrooms commonly specify wall mirrors above lavatory stations — and most facilities choose a framed, commercial-grade unit instead of a residential-style mirror because commercial construction holds up to daily cleaning, tampering, and long-term moisture exposure. The Bobrick B-290 2436 is a 24" W x 36" H welded-frame mirror built around a one-piece Type-304 stainless steel angle frame with a satin finish, mounted to a concealed wall hanger / bracket system designed to keep the mirror secured against the wall. As a Bobrick Premier Partner, Total Restroom stocks the B-290 series with Low Price Guarantee and 48-Hour QuickShip on in-stock sizes.

Key Features

One-Piece Welded Stainless Frame

The B-290 frame is roll-formed from a single 3/4" x 3/4" Type-304 stainless steel angle. Corners are heliarc welded, then ground and polished smooth — there are no exposed seams or fasteners on the frame. Type-304 stainless is better suited to commercial cleaning and high-moisture restroom environments than many residential-style mirror frames.

Concealed Wall Hanger / Bracket System

The B-290 2436 mounts to a concealed wall hanger / bracket system designed to keep the mirror secured against the wall. At 24" wide, the B-290 2436 uses Bobrick's "2S" tab design (per Bobrick's tech data sheet, the 2S tab design applies to B-290 mirrors up to 36" width). An upper bracket engages the upper louver on the mirror's backplate, and the lower bracket is secured to the back of the mirror with double-sided tape after the mirror is pressed into final position. The result is a clean, fastener-free front face — no visible mounting hardware on the frame in a finished restroom.

15-Year Silver Spoilage Warranty

The 1/4" (6 mm) No. 1 quality select float glass mirror is electrolytically copper-plated by the galvanic process and warranted by Bobrick for 15 years against silver spoilage — the gradual edge corrosion and black-spotting that ruins lower-grade mirrors in humid environments. The mirror back is protected by full-size 3/16" shock-absorbing polyethylene padding, and all edges are protected by plastic filler strips.

Beveled Frame Edge

The front edge of the frame is beveled to hold the frame tightly against the mirror surface, eliminating the gap that collects dust and cleaning residue on cheaper framed mirrors. Combined with the satin finish, this gives the B-290 the clean, architectural look that's been the commercial standard for decades.

Which Size Is Right for You?

The B-290 2436 (24" W x 36" H) is part of the full B-290 welded-frame series, available in seven satin-finish sizes:

• B-290 1830 — 18" W x 30" H — smaller restrooms or above narrow vanities
• B-290 1836 — 18" W x 36" H — taller framing in narrow spaces
• B-290 2430 — 24" W x 30" H — shorter profile at standard 24" width
• B-290 2436 — 24" W x 36" H — this size
• B-290 2448 — 24" W x 48" H — taller mirror for full upper-body view
• B-290 2460 — 24" W x 60" H — full-length above-counter installations
• B-290 2472 — 24" W x 72" H — full-length installations

If your project requires tempered glass for safety reasons (schools, healthcare, areas with potential impact), look at the Bobrick B-2908 series — same welded frame, tempered glass instead of standard float glass. For matte black finish, the B-290 series is also available in matte black (B-290.MBLK) — same frame, same sizes, in a contemporary matte black finish.

Installation & ADA Compliance

Under ADA Standards §603.3, mirrors located above lavatories or countertops must be installed with the bottom edge of the reflecting surface no higher than 40" (1015 mm) above the finished floor. Mirrors not located above lavatories must be installed with the bottom edge no higher than 35" (890 mm) AFF. The B-290 can be used in ADA-compliant restroom layouts when installed at the required mounting height — the product's suitability for accessible restroom layouts depends on proper installation height and project requirements; mounting height is the installer's responsibility.

For installation of the B-290 2436, Bobrick's "2S" tab design requires 5-3/8" (137 mm) clearance above the centerline of the mounting screw holes (so the mirror can be lifted onto the wall hanger), plus 1" (25 mm) minimum clearance at the bottom. Provide concealed wall backing to comply with local building codes; mounting screws are not furnished and should be selected based on the wall substrate.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are the actual dimensions of the B-290 2436?

The Bobrick B-290 2436 measures 24" W x 36" H (61 x 91 cm) outside-of-frame to outside-of-frame. The frame itself is a one-piece 3/4" x 3/4" (19 x 19 mm) Type-304 stainless steel angle. Bobrick's stated manufacturing tolerance on B-290 mirrors is ± 1/8" (3.2 mm).

Is the B-290 2436 ADA-compliant?

The B-290 2436 can be used in ADA-compliant restroom layouts when installed at the required mounting height. ADA §603.3 requires that mirrors above lavatories be mounted with the bottom of the reflecting surface no higher than 40" (1015 mm) above the finished floor; mirrors not above lavatories no higher than 35" (890 mm) AFF. The product's suitability for accessible restroom layouts depends on proper installation height and project requirements; mounting height is set during installation.

What is the silver spoilage warranty on the B-290 mirror?

Bobrick warrants the B-290 mirror's reflective surface for 15 years against silver spoilage. The mirror is No. 1 quality 1/4" (6 mm) select float glass, electrolytically copper-plated by the galvanic process, with edge protection from plastic filler strips and a full-size 3/16" polyethylene back pad.

Is the B-290 mirror tempered or standard glass?

The B-290 series uses standard 1/4" (6 mm) No. 1 quality select float glass — not tempered. For installations that require tempered glass, Bobrick offers the B-2908 series welded-frame mirror, which uses 1/4" tempered glass in the same Type-304 stainless welded frame.

How does the B-290 mount to the wall?

The B-290 2436 mounts to a concealed wall hanger / bracket system. Bobrick's "2S" tab design uses an upper bracket that engages the upper louver, with the lower bracket secured using double-sided tape after the mirror is pressed into final position. Mounting screws are not furnished and should be selected based on the wall substrate.

How does the B-290 compare to the B-165 channel-frame mirror?

The B-290 uses a one-piece welded 3/4" x 3/4" angle frame with heliarc-welded corners — a more substantial, architectural look. The B-165 uses a U-shaped channel frame, which is lighter and lower-cost but not welded at the corners. Specifiers who want a premium frame profile typically choose the B-290; the B-165 is more common in budget-driven projects.

Does the B-290 2436 come with mounting screws?

No. Mounting screws are not furnished with the B-290 — the appropriate fasteners depend on the wall substrate. For drywall or plaster, provide concealed wall backing per local building codes and use screws sized to the backing. For other wall surfaces, use fiber plugs, expansion shields, 1/8" toggle bolts, or expansion bolts as appropriate.

How fast does the Bobrick B-290 2436 ship?

Total Restroom stocks the B-290 2436 with 48-Hour QuickShip availability on in-stock units, shipped from a national distribution network.
