Dome sizing guide

Use the sizing guide before choosing quarter, half, or full dome dimensions.

comparisonWhat is the difference between full dome, half dome, and quarter dome mirrors?
Full domes provide near 360-degree overhead visibility and are used above open areas or four-way intersections. Half domes are useful at T-intersections or wall-adjacent areas. Quarter domes fit corners and L-shaped corridor intersections.

selectionWhen should I use a full dome mirror instead of a convex mirror?
Use a full dome when people, carts, forklifts, or customers approach from multiple directions and overhead panoramic visibility is needed. Use a wall-mounted convex mirror when the primary need is one or two approach directions around a corner or obstruction.
