Good morning - a request for some help please - If mirrored glass was being used to cover up-right columns - what is the standard required of the glass (safety)

Logic suggests that Part N of the Building Regs would apply? (available free on www)

Hi - If they are fitting flush against the columns then safety mirrors do not have to be used
Regards

Oops - as long as it is not an "I" shaped column and has been boxed off so fitting against a flat surface (No risk of falling through it) no safety glass is required.

Falling shards of glass post accidental impact constitute a bit of a risk do they not, SW?

Morning, Yes Ron they do and I know where you are coming from.
I work in the glass manufacturing industry and stand by what I have said though. (Info - Glass in Furniture Recommendations by the Glass and Glazing Federation as detailed in BS 7376 and BS 7449.) If fixed to a fully backed surface, safety mirror does not have to be used.
Obviously safety backed mirror would be better in the event of an Incident though.

On the subject of using mirrors in public areas, do others find (as I do) that wide-scale use of mirrors in public places can be slightly disorienting?
