Toughened Mirrors: The Australian Standard for Safety and Precision
When it comes to Toughened Mirrors in commercial, retail, or high-traffic environments, strength, safety, and durability matter just as much as style. That’s why toughened mirrors have become the essential choice for builders, architects, and designers who refuse to compromise on safety.
At Precision Glass & AusTuff Mirrors, we manufacture custom toughened mirrors right here in Montrose.
Following the closure of major local silvering lines, we have stepped in to lead the Australian market, providing the only local in-house silvering service for toughened glass using advanced DC Sputtering technology.

We specialise in high-volume, high-precision mirror manufacturing.
By keeping the entire process, from cutting and toughening to silvering under one roof, we offer the Australian building industry a reliable, local supply chain that imports simply cannot match.
- Size Capacity: Large-format processing up to 1200mm x 3600mm.

Toughened Mirror Applications & Industry Use
Our toughened mirrors are the preferred solution for many high-risk environments. Specifically, they are used where standard annealed mirrors pose a safety risk. Consequently, they provide the durability needed for busy commercial spaces
- Kitchen Splashbacks: Heat-resistant and safety-rated for use behind cooktops.
- Gyms & Fitness Centres: Impact-resistant, wall-to-wall safety glass.
- Lift Lobbies & Commercial Fit-outs: High-traffic durability and modern aesthetics.
- Hotels & Public Spaces: Vandal-resistant, long-lasting reflective surfaces.
Custom Tones Available:
Our mirrors come in many sleek tones. For example, you can choose from Silver, Grey, or Bronze. Because we use CNC equipment, each piece is cut to your exact size. Subsequently, you get a flawless, polished finish every time.
- Silver (Clear)
- Light Grey & Dark Grey
- Bronze
- Black (High-Reflectivity)
The Technology: Why DC Sputtering Wins
Direct Current (DC) Sputtering is a high-performance coating method. In fact, it is used in advanced industries like optics and semiconductors. Unlike traditional wet-coating, our process bonds the silvering at a molecular level. As a result, our mirrors offer superior durability. Furthermore, this method is significantly more environmentally stable than old-fashioned silvering.
Why choose sputtered mirrors?
- Heat Resistant: Engineered to withstand the thermal stress of kitchen environments.
- Superior Durability: Molecular bonding resists edge-peel and silvering degradation.
- Optical Clarity: Stunning, high-definition reflection with zero distortion.
- Optical Clarity: Stunning, high-definition reflection with zero distortion.
Enhanced Safety & Compliance
Toughened mirrors are classified as Grade A Safety Glass in accordance with Australian Standards. Specifically, the thermal toughening process ensures that if the glass is ever impacted, it shatters into small, relatively harmless blunt fragments rather than dangerous, jagged shards. Consequently, this makes AusTuff mirrors the essential choice for high-traffic or high-risk environments.
Moreover, our mirrors provide:
- Impact Resistance: Ideally suited for gyms, dance studios, and fitness centres.
- Public Safety: Perfect for lift lobbies, hotels, and shopping centre fit-outs.
- Peace of Mind: In addition to physical safety, using our mirrors ensures your project remains fully compliant with AS/NZS 2208 requirements.
