Using Mirror Film and Vinyl Film for Mirrors Can Change Your Mirror Décor
Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to introduce detail into a room. Mirror film is a flexible coating that sticks to the surface of the mirror, enabling you to shift its look with ease.
It’s available in a selection of styles such as etched, tinted, or shaded options, helping you match the film to different themes. You don’t need to replace the mirror itself to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Budget-friendly: Updating your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Style choices: Choose from coloured for impact depending on your goal.
- Easy installation: You can apply the film yourself with basic tools.
- Long-lasting: High-grade mirror films resist peeling and maintain appearance over time.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Mirror vinyl is a flexible PVC material designed for more precise mirror decoration. It allows you to cut designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it ideal for introducing artistic features or creative elements without permanent change.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Creative freedom: Use logos, motifs, or text for distinctive looks.
- Adaptable material: Works on walls and other flat surfaces.
- Non-permanent: Vinyl can be peeled off without leaving residue.
- Simple upkeep: Wipe clean with minimal effort.
