Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Changing up your mirrors is a straightforward method to add personality into a setting. 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 offered in a range of effects such as frosted, smoked, or coloured options, making it easy to match the film to your décor. Replacing the entire mirror isn’t necessary 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.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and fade slowly.
Understanding 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 replacing the mirror.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Incorporate logos, motifs, or imagery for personal looks.
- Wide application: Sticks to walls and other flat surfaces.
- Non-permanent: Vinyl can be peeled off without leaving residue.
- Simple upkeep: Wipe clean with minimal effort.
