Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to introduce detail into a room. Mirror film is an adhesive sheet that sticks to the surface of the mirror, allowing you to modify its look with ease.
It’s offered in a range of effects such as frosted, smoked, or coloured options, helping you 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.
- Reliable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and maintain appearance over time.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is a flexible PVC material 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 creating distinct visuals or branding without long-term commitment.
