Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to add personality into a setting. Adhesive mirror film is an adhesive sheet that sticks to the surface of the mirror, letting you change its look with ease.
It’s sold in a variety of finishes such as frosted, tinted, or shaded options, making it easy to match the film to your preferred design. You don’t need to replace the mirror itself to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Cost-effective: Altering your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Range of options: Choose from tinted for warmth depending on your goal.
- Easy installation: You can install the film yourself with little effort.
- Reliable: High-grade mirror films are designed to last and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is made from pliable PVC ideal for more customised 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 graphics without permanent change.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Creative freedom: Add logos, motifs, or text for distinctive looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to glass and other flat surfaces.
- Non-permanent: Vinyl can be peeled off without affecting the mirror.
