Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to add personality 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 offered in a variety of effects such as frosted, smoked, or coloured options, making it easy to match the film to different themes. There’s no need for a full replacement to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Budget-friendly: 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 install the film yourself with minimal tools.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and fade slowly.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is made from pliable PVC 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 graphics without replacing the mirror.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Incorporate logos, motifs, or imagery for personal looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to windows and other flat surfaces.
- Removable: Vinyl is easy to remove without leaving residue.
- Simple upkeep: Wipe clean with a cloth.
Ideas for Applying Mirror Vinyl
Vinyl can be used to introduce patterns. Try etched looks for spaces needing privacy, or geometric shapes on living room mirrors for a visual impact.
Choosing Between Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl
Your decision depends on how you want it to look.
- Mirror Film: Best for uniform effects like tinted styles.
- Mirror Vinyl: Ideal for custom logos and branding.
Shops and offices might use both to add identity.
Applying the Film or Vinyl
- Clean the surface thoroughly to ensure adhesion.
- Apply carefully to prevent wrinkles.
