Washroom Mirrors & Mirror Box Units
Washroom mirrors to fit any commercial bathroom design
From standard washroom mirrors to framed and shatterproof mirrors, all our commercial washroom mirror products are available for purchase online. They will be carefully packaged to minimise the risk of damage whilst in transit.
Our box mirror units are mirror combination units that incorporate hidden accessories such as hand dryers, soap dispensers and paper towel dispensers. These cabinets are factory-fitted with accessories behind a mirror that can be easily lifted for maintenance and refilling. Mirror box units are available in modular sizes, with bespoke sizes and combinations available.
The range includes products from leading manufacturers such as KWC and Bobrick, as well as our own brand. Many of our washroom mirrors are ideal for installing above vanity units.
Our selection of metal-framed mirrors is available with a choice of standard or tempered glass (for increased safety), and we have solutions to suit all budgets. They are manufactured from robust brushed stainless steel to match many other washroom accessories. We are also pleased to offer sheet metal mirrors and vandal-resistant mirrors, which are ideal for areas prone to vandalism, such as public toilets, prisons, and school toilets.
When selecting the right washroom mirrors for your bathroom, consider the product's features. For example, you may be short on space, and a mirror box unit could add extra storage. Alternatively, your main concern could be safety; therefore, you’ll want to consider safer designs and anti-vandal features. Are you unsure which of our products is the best fit for your needs? Contact the Commercial Washrooms team for more information on our selection of commercial bathroom mirrors. We’ll be happy to help.
Washroom Mirrors FAQs
How to stop a bathroom mirror from steaming up
Commercial bathroom mirrors can fog when steam (caused by the running of hot water) condenses on the mirror. Whether hot water from taps or showers is causing your washroom mirrors to steam up, you can prevent this by ensuring your facilities have adequate ventilation and extractor fans.
How to stop a bathroom mirror from rusting
Washroom mirrors can rust over time due to excessive moisture and dampness in the air, particularly in the mirror’s frame. The silver nitrate around a mirror’s frame is prone to rusting. You can prevent your commercial bathroom mirrors from rusting by using ammonia-free cleaning products, keeping mirrors dry, managing humidity levels in your washroom, and installing an extractor fan.
If you find it difficult to remove the rust from your mirrors, it could be worth replacing them to ensure your washroom looks attractive and professional.
Are bathroom mirrors different to normal mirrors?
Yes, commercial bathroom mirrors are different to normal mirrors in several ways, including:
They’re typically made from materials that are more resistant to rust. The frame material of standard frames can rust over time due to moisture in the air. For example, silver nitrate is a material that can deteriorate.
Bathroom fittings and furnishings must meet safety standards.
Many commercial washroom mirrors are made from tempered glass, as it is considered a safer option. This is because when it’s broken, it will break into rounded shards (as opposed to sharp, pointy ones).
How to remove stains from a bathroom mirror
Calcium deposits and limescale are the most common types of stains you can expect to find on your commercial bathroom mirror. You can find cleaning solutions that are designed specifically for use on mirrors (and don’t contain ammonia, which can damage the surface). Alternatively, vinegar can be an effective stain remover. Whichever solution you opt for, you should use a soft cloth to wipe the mirror (this will help to prevent scratches).
What height should a bathroom mirror be?
Ideally, a commercial bathroom mirror should be positioned at eye level for most users, which is approximately 5 to 10 inches above the washroom sink.
Where to place a mirror in a bathroom
Commercial washroom mirrors are typically fixed to the wall above vanity units. Ensure the mirror is not placed directly in front of pipes or wiring. If you need to install a mirror that requires plugging into the mains supply, hiring a professional to fit this in for you is best.

Should mirrors be centred over bathroom sinks?
Typically, mirrors are centred over bathroom sinks and measure several inches less than your vanity area. This is considered the ideal location for washroom mirrors, as it provides a practical position for users to view their reflections.
In some cases, this placement may not be possible (i.e. if you have a window directly behind your basins). In this case, you could consider fixing the mirror beside the basin in a corner that is accessible to washroom users.
What size should a bathroom mirror be?
Your commercial washroom mirror shouldn’t be wider than your vanity unit and will ideally measure several inches less in width. If you’re looking for a new bathroom mirror, measure your vanity unit first to determine the best size for your needs.
