Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to introduce detail into any space. Adhesive mirror film is a thin layer that sticks to the surface of the mirror, allowing you to modify its look with ease.
It’s sold in a range of effects such as frosted, smoked, or coloured options, making it easy to match the film to your décor. You don’t need to replace the mirror itself to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Affordable: Updating your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Versatile styles: Choose from frosted for privacy depending on your goal.
- Easy installation: You can install the film yourself with minimal tools.
- Reliable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and fade slowly.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is made from pliable PVC ideal for more customised mirror decoration. It's used to create designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it great for creating distinct visuals or branding without long-term commitment.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Design flexibility: Add logos, motifs, or imagery for personal looks.
- Wide application: Sticks to glass and other smooth surfaces.
- Non-permanent: Vinyl can be peeled off without leaving residue.
- Simple upkeep: Keep it tidy with a cloth.
