Ways Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl Can Refresh 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 selection of finishes such as etched, tinted, or shaded options, helping you match the film to your preferred design. 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 minimal tools.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and fade slowly.
Understanding Mirror Vinyl
Decorative vinyl film is crafted from soft vinyl that’s used 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 introducing artistic features or graphics without replacing the mirror.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Incorporate logos, motifs, or text for distinctive looks.
- Adaptable material: Works on glass and other flat surfaces.
- Non-permanent: Vinyl can be peeled off without leaving residue.
- Simple upkeep: Wipe clean with a cloth.
