Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Changing up your mirrors is a straightforward method to add personality into a setting. Mirror film is a thin layer that sticks to the surface of the mirror, enabling you to shift its look with ease.
It’s sold in a selection of styles such as etched, tinted, or shaded options, helping you match the film to your preferred design. Replacing the entire mirror isn’t necessary 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 tinted for warmth depending on your goal.
- Do-it-yourself friendly: You can fit the film yourself with little effort.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films are designed to last and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Mirror vinyl is a flexible PVC material 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 great for introducing bespoke elements or branding without replacing the mirror.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Design flexibility: Incorporate logos, motifs, or imagery for personal looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to glass and other flat surfaces.
- Temporary: Vinyl can be peeled off without affecting the mirror.
- Easy to clean: Wipe clean with minimal effort.
