Securing a dance hall with mirror back film
Mirror-back film: a safe dance hall
Mirrors are indispensable in a dance studio: they enable dancers to correct their postures, synchronize their movements and create true visual harmony. But did you know that unsecured mirrors can also be dangerous? Fortunately, there's a simple, discreet and effective solution: the mirror back film. We tell you all about it in this article!
What is a mirror-back film?
Mirror back film is a transparent safety film specially designed to be applied to the back of a mirror. It's made from ultra-strong, multi-layer polyester and a powerful adhesive, which holds glass fragments together in the event of breakage. Once applied, it remains totally invisible.
How does this safety film work?
The principle is simple: in the event of impact, the film prevents glass splinters from detaching from the support. The mirror may crack, but it doesn't collapse. The pieces remain stuck to the film, so there's no risk of injury. It's passive protection, but extremely effective.
Why secure mirrors in a dance studio?
The mirror is a dancer's best friend! Whether in ballet, hip-hop or contemporary dance, mirrors are ubiquitous in the studio. It helps with concentration and body alignment, and also plays an aesthetic role by visually enlarging the space.
A mirror, however elegant, is a fragile object. In the event of impact (accident, clumsiness, vibration...), it can crack or even shatter. The consequences can be serious: cuts, injuries, accidents... It is therefore essential totake preventive action, especially in areas frequented by children or groups on the move.
