Using Mirror Film and Vinyl Film for Mirrors Can Change Your Mirror Décor
Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to add personality into a setting. Mirror film is a thin layer that sticks to the surface of the mirror, enabling you to shift its look with ease.
It’s available in a selection of finishes such as etched, tinted, or shaded options, helping you match the film to your preferred design. There’s no need for a full replacement to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Cost-effective: Revamping your mirror with film is cheaper than buying a new one.
- Range of options: Choose from frosted for privacy depending on your goal.
- Do-it-yourself friendly: You can install the film yourself with minimal tools.
- Reliable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and maintain appearance over time.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is a flexible PVC material ideal for more detailed mirror decoration. You can cut designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it suitable for adding bespoke elements or creative elements without replacing the mirror.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Incorporate logos, motifs, or text for distinctive looks.
- Wide application: Sticks to glass and other smooth surfaces.
- Temporary: Vinyl lifts off without damaging the glass.
- Easy to clean: Dust or clean it with standard cleaning tools.
