Mirror in a gym: safety and sizing
Tempered glass, anti-shatter film, sizing by function — what home and commercial gyms need.
A gym mirror isn't "a bigger regular mirror." A dumbbell, a flying ball, a heel strike — ordinary mirror becomes shrapnel. In a commercial gym that's an injury + lawsuit.
01Specs
- 5–6 mm tempered — mandatory
- Anti-shatter film on the back (Llumar SR PS 8 for public use)
- CuOH-free silver — doesn't darken in humidity
- No bevel — sharp edge is dangerous in active zones
- Rounded corners — for body contact
02Sizing by function
| Training | Min size | Placement |
|---|---|---|
| Yoga, pilates | 2.4×1.8 m | fronting the mat |
| CrossFit, functional | 3×2 m | two angled walls |
| Heavy lifting | 2.4×2 m | side for form check |
| Dance studio | 6×2.4 m+ | full wall |
| Boxing / MMA | 3×2.4 m | two opposing walls |
| Rehab / PT | 2×1.6 m | frontal posture check |

| Size | Tempered + film | + frame |
|---|---|---|

Don't skimp on anti-shatter film for commercial gyms. Without it: customer injury = 200–500 k ₽ lawsuit + closure for inspections. Film for a standard set: 30–50 k ₽.
