The Wallgate by AquaDesign’s high security mirror is made from tough polycarbonate encased in highly damage resistant composite solid surface polyester resin. Manufactured as part of Wallgateby Intersan’s secure range of sanitaryware, the ALM02 mirror is ligature-resistant and vandal-resistant, and is tested and approved to the highest standards.
The standard ALM-02 model is intended for “through-wall” installation, where mounting hardware (fixings) are provided. With this model, holes are drilled through the wall, and the mounting bolts thread into the back of the mirror bezel, and extend through the wall, and are secured from behind the installation wall with washers and bolts.
The ALM02 model is also available in a front-mount installation
mehod that eliminates the need for a chase or duct space behind the installation wall. The ALM-02FF surface mount mirror model is provided with predrilled bezels, and safety torx screws are provided that allow installation directly to a wall, eliminating the need for access behind a wall to complete installation.
Installation
The mirror can be installed using structural adhesive to bond the frame to the wall, or alternatively holes can be drilled through the frame at each corner so that it can be fixed using security pin TORX tamperproof countersunk head screws. Optional model ALM-02FF has pre-drilled holes.
The 3/16” flat surface around the edges of the frame are to facilitate the application of an anti pick hard set mastic such as Dow Corning 995 Silicone Structural Seealant or Sikaflex 11FC to seal it to the wall. Use a suitable tool to profile the mastic so that it follows the angle of the frame.
