How Mirror Film and Vinyl Film for Mirrors Can Change Your Mirror Décor
Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to introduce detail into a room. Mirror film is a flexible coating that sticks to the surface of the mirror, letting you change its look with ease.
It’s available in a variety of finishes such as etched, tinted, or coloured 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?
- Cost-effective: Altering 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 install the film yourself with little effort.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and fade slowly.
Understanding Mirror Vinyl
Mirror vinyl 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, patterns, or imagery for brand-specific looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to windows and other smooth surfaces.
- Temporary: Vinyl is easy to remove without affecting the mirror.
- Low maintenance: Dust or clean it with standard cleaning tools.
