Bobrick B-2908 1830 (18 x 30) Tempered Glass Welded-Frame Mirror, 18" W x 30" H

18" x 30" Mirrors | Bobrick B-2908 Tempered Glass Series | Bobrick B-290 Standard Glass Series

Schools, healthcare facilities, gyms, transit hubs, and other high-impact commercial restrooms commonly specify tempered glass mirrors instead of standard float glass — tempered glass resists breakage and provides a measure of safety from broken glass. The Bobrick B-2908 1830 is an 18" W x 30" H tempered glass 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-2908 series with Low Price Guarantee and 48-Hour QuickShip on in-stock sizes.

Key Features

1/4" Tempered Glass for Safety in High-Impact Areas

The B-2908 1830 uses No. 1 quality, 1/4" (6 mm) tempered select float glass, selected for silvering and electrolytically copper-plated by the galvanic process. Tempered glass mirrors resist breakage and provide a measure of safety from broken glass. That makes the B-2908 the right specification for schools, healthcare facilities, gyms, transit, and any other commercial environment where impact resistance is a priority. Note that tempered glass differs in color and reflective quality from standard glass mirrors — see the manufacturer note below.

One-Piece Welded Stainless Frame

The B-2908 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-2908 1830 mounts to a concealed wall hanger / bracket system designed to keep the mirror secured against the wall. At 18" wide, the B-2908 1830 uses Bobrick's "2S" tab design (per Bobrick's tech data sheet, the 2S tab design applies to B-2908 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.

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-2908 the clean, architectural look that's been the commercial standard for decades.

Important Manufacturer Note on Tempered Glass

Per Bobrick: tempered glass mirrors resist breakage and provide a measure of safety from broken glass, but differ in color and reflective quality from standard glass mirrors. Modest distortion or heat-generated markings are normal in the tempered glass mirror manufacturing process. Bobrick will not accept returns of tempered glass mirrors with random distortion or markings. If pristine reflective quality is a higher priority for your project than impact safety, specify the standard B-290 float glass version instead.

Which Size Is Right for You?

The B-2908 1830 (18" W x 30" H) is part of the B-2908 tempered glass series, available in three sizes:

• B-2908 1830 — 18" W x 30" H — this size
• B-2908 1836 — 18" W x 36" H — taller framing in narrow spaces
• B-2908 2436 — 24" W x 36" H — standard commercial size

If your project doesn't require tempered glass for safety reasons, the same frame with standard float glass and a 15-year silver spoilage warranty is available as the Bobrick B-290 satin finish — same frame profile, same construction, same outside-of-frame dimensions.

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-2908 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-2908 1830, 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-2908 1830?

The Bobrick B-2908 1830 measures 18" W x 30" H (46 x 76 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 with a satin finish. Bobrick's stated manufacturing tolerance on framed mirrors is ± 1/8" (3.2 mm).

Is the B-2908 1830 ADA-compliant?

The B-2908 1830 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.

Why specify tempered glass instead of standard mirror glass?

Tempered glass mirrors resist breakage and provide a measure of safety from broken glass, making them appropriate for environments where impact is a realistic concern. Common applications include schools, healthcare facilities, gyms, transit hubs, and any high-traffic commercial environment. Tempered glass differs in color and reflective quality from standard float glass mirrors.

Does the B-2908 have a silver spoilage warranty?

Bobrick's published B-2908 product information emphasizes the tempered glass safety properties rather than stating a specific silver spoilage warranty period — unlike the B-290 standard glass series, which carries an explicit 15-year silver spoilage warranty. For warranty terms specific to the B-2908, refer to Bobrick's current warranty documentation or contact a Total Restroom Project Manager at 877-234-3520.

How does the B-2908 mount to the wall?

The B-2908 1830 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-2908 compare to the B-290?

The B-2908 and B-290 use identical frame construction — one-piece Type-304 stainless steel angle, heliarc-welded corners, satin finish, beveled edge. The difference is the glass: the B-2908 uses 1/4" tempered glass for breakage safety in impact-prone environments; the B-290 uses 1/4" standard float glass with a 15-year silver spoilage warranty for environments where pristine reflective quality is the higher priority.

Are tempered glass mirror imperfections returnable?

Per Bobrick, tempered glass mirrors may show modest distortion or heat-generated markings as a normal part of the tempered glass manufacturing process. Bobrick will not accept returns of tempered glass mirrors with random distortion or markings. Buyers prioritizing pristine optical quality over impact safety should consider the B-290 standard float glass series instead.

How fast does the Bobrick B-2908 1830 ship?

Total Restroom stocks the B-2908 1830 with 48-Hour QuickShip availability on in-stock units, shipped from a national distribution network.
