Your driveway can be equipped with convex mirrors in
order to keep you, your family and your visitors safe. Read on to find out more.
When you are fitting out
your driveway you’ll be thinking about whether to pave it, gravel it or tarmac
it. You may also wonder about adding certain aesthetic features such as pot
plants or climbing plants. But people overlook the safety features of their
driveway and this is a big mistake. Your driveway sees a lot of traffic coming
to the house and leaving the house, and it is really important that you equip
your driveway with vital safety features in order to keep you, your family and
your visitors safe. Of all these safety features, the most critical one is to
think about convex mirrors
What are convex mirrors?

| Convex Safety Mirror |
Convex mirrors are fitted to
the side of the road by your driveway in order to enable you to see round
corners when you are arriving at or leaving the house. Convex mirrors are
designed so that the glass is bent allowing you to see more than you would with
a standard mirror. Convex mirrors are available in a variety of sizes so that
it is easy to find the perfect design for your driveway. Installing one of
these mirrors is the very best way to ensure that you, your family and your
visitors can come and go without being at risk of accident. They will also help
to protect your car from bumps and scratches as you come and go
Where should I put my
mirror?
You should mount your convex
mirror in a place that enables you to see around the corners when you are
coming out of your driveway. People who live on a bend in a road will find this
safety feature especially useful as they come and go. Find a tree or a fence
panel where you can mount the mirror and ensure that it is firmly fixed to
avoid it falling off or coming loose. Test out the position by experimenting
when you reverse out of the driveway. Can you see the cars coming around the
corner?
How should I care for my
convex mirror?
Convex mirrors are very easy
to maintain and they require little attention in order to remain effective,
however they will benefit from a wipe-down with a smear-free detergent from
time to time. That’s all you need to do to keep your mirror in tip-top
condition!
