FAQ+−
What’s the difference between Z and telescoping brackets? Z-brackets are close-wall indoor mounts with pivot-ball aiming behind the mirror. Telescoping brackets adjust from 14.5″ to 21.5″ and are the right choice for outdoor, pole, and larger-mirror installs.
Does acrylic yellow in the sun? Our acrylic is UV-stabilized. Unlike low-grade imported mirrors, it will not haze or yellow over normal outdoor life.
Can I get a custom SKU? Yes — if your size, backing, or bracket is not listed, contact us for a custom quote.

Our U.S.-based team can help size the mirror, choose the bracket, and quote the order.

Impact resistance is different from scratch resistance
Impact resistance describes resistance to a strike or shattering; it does not describe surface hardness or scratch resistance. NSM uses approximate material comparisons of 15× glass for acrylic and 250× for polycarbonate. Published figures vary by grade, thickness and test: Advanced Plastiform, for example, cites about 10× for acrylic and 250× for polycarbonate. Acrylic is generally more scratch resistant than uncoated polycarbonate, while glass is harder at the surface. These material comparisons are not a model-specific test rating or a bullet-resistance certification.
Acrylic and polycarbonate are lightweight alternatives to glass. General references describe roughly half the weight of comparable glass; use the selected mirror’s own dimensions and shipping weight for handling and freight decisions.
References: KastLite: acrylic versus polycarbonate; Advanced Plastiform: impact and scratch resistance; Palram: polycarbonate glazing material comparison.

How should I clean and care for an acrylic mirror?
Use spray wax or plastic polish on the front surface and wipe with a clean, soft cloth. Do not use glass cleaners. Washing with a soft cloth works, but repeated washing can gradually create fine scratches. Read the Acrylic Mirror Care guide for cleaning, drilling, and fastener precautions.

How should I clean and care for a polycarbonate mirror?
Clean polycarbonate mirror with soap and water and a clean, soft, lint-free damp cloth. Never use ammonia cleaners such as Windex or 409, and never dry-wipe the surface because dust can scratch the lens. Read the Polycarbonate Mirror Care guide for cleaner, polish, and graffiti-removal precautions.

How do I choose the right mirror for my space?
Start with the application — driveway exit, warehouse aisle, blind intersection, retail surveillance, or vehicle inspection — then size by viewing distance using the 1 inch of diameter per 1 foot of viewing distance rule. If you'd like a recommendation, contact NSM with your installation context and we'll narrow the right size, lens, backing, and mount.
What if I need help picking the exact configuration?
Use the live options table above to compare every purchasable row by size, bracket, and price. If you're between two configurations, contact NSM directly before checkout — bulk pricing, government quotes, and project-specific sizing guidance are all available at no charge.
