Mirror Safety Backing Ottawa | Centennial Glass

Protect People. Prevent Injury. Comply with Code.

Mirrors are beautiful and functional-but in high-traffic or public spaces, they must also be safe. Mirror safety backing is a protective film applied to the back of a mirror to prevent dangerous shattering if the glass breaks. At Centennial Glass, we apply code-compliant safety backing to custom-cut commercial mirrors in-house-ensuring your installations meet the highest safety and building code standards.
