Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to introduce detail into a setting. Adhesive mirror film is a flexible coating that sticks to the surface of the mirror, enabling you to shift its look with ease.
It’s offered in a variety of styles such as frosted, smoked, or shaded options, making it easy to match the film to your décor. There’s no need for a full replacement to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Affordable: Revamping your mirror with film is cheaper than buying a new one.
- Style choices: Choose from frosted for privacy depending on your goal.
- Do-it-yourself friendly: You can fit the film yourself with basic tools.
- Reliable: High-grade mirror films are designed to last and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is made from pliable PVC that’s used for more precise mirror decoration. You can cut designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it great for introducing bespoke elements or branding without replacing the mirror.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Use logos, patterns, or imagery for distinctive looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to glass and other flat surfaces.
- Removable: Vinyl lifts off without damaging the glass.
- Simple upkeep: Wipe clean with standard cleaning tools.
