Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to introduce detail into any space. Adhesive mirror film is a flexible coating that sticks to the surface of the mirror, allowing you to modify its look with ease.
It’s offered in a selection of styles such as frosted, tinted, 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?
- Affordable: Updating your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Versatile styles: Choose from frosted for privacy depending on your goal.
- DIY application: You can apply the film yourself with little effort.
- Reliable: High-grade mirror films are designed to last and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Mirror vinyl is a flexible PVC material that’s used for more precise mirror decoration. It's used to create designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it ideal for adding distinct visuals or graphics without permanent change.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Design flexibility: Incorporate logos, patterns, or imagery for personal looks.
- Adaptable material: Applies to glass and other flat surfaces.
- Removable: Vinyl lifts off without leaving residue.
