Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to add personality into a room. Mirror film is an adhesive sheet that sticks to the surface of the mirror, letting you change its look with ease.
It’s sold in a variety of finishes such as frosted, tinted, or shaded options, making it easy to match the film to your preferred design. You don’t need to replace the mirror itself to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Affordable: Altering your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Range of options: Choose from tinted for warmth depending on your goal.
- DIY application: You can apply the film yourself with little effort.
- Long-lasting: High-grade mirror films resist peeling and fade slowly.
Understanding Mirror Vinyl
Decorative vinyl film is made from pliable PVC ideal for more customised mirror decoration. It allows you to cut designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it suitable for creating artistic features or creative elements without permanent change.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Design flexibility: Add logos, motifs, or text for brand-specific looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to glass and other smooth surfaces.
- Non-permanent: Vinyl is easy to remove without affecting the mirror.
- Low maintenance: Keep it tidy with a cloth.
