Using Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl Can Refresh Your Mirror Décor
Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to add personality into a setting. Mirror film is a flexible coating that sticks to the surface of the mirror, enabling you to shift 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?
- 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 little effort.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and fade slowly.
Understanding Mirror Vinyl
Mirror vinyl is made from pliable PVC 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 creating distinct visuals or branding without long-term commitment.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Design flexibility: Add logos, patterns, or imagery for personal looks.
- Wide application: Applies to windows and other smooth surfaces.
- Temporary: Vinyl lifts off without damaging the glass.
- Easy to clean: Dust or clean it with standard cleaning tools.
