Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to inject style into any space. Adhesive mirror film is a thin layer that sticks to the surface of the mirror, letting you change its look with ease.
It’s offered in a range of styles such as etched, smoked, or coloured options, helping you match the film to your décor. You don’t need to replace the mirror itself to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Cost-effective: Updating your mirror with film is cheaper than buying a new one.
- Versatile styles: Choose from tinted for warmth depending on your goal.
- Easy installation: You can fit the film yourself with minimal tools.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films resist peeling and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Mirror vinyl is made from pliable PVC designed for more detailed 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 long-term commitment.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Use logos, patterns, or imagery for distinctive looks.
- Adaptable material: Applies to windows and other smooth surfaces.
- Non-permanent: Vinyl is easy to remove without affecting the mirror.
- Easy to clean: Wipe clean with standard cleaning tools.
Ideas for Applying Mirror Vinyl
Vinyl can be used to make bold changes. Try etched looks for bathroom mirrors, or floral patterns on living room mirrors for a visual impact.
