Advantages 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 available in a variety of effects such as frosted, smoked, or coloured options, making it easy to match the film to your décor. You don’t need to replace the mirror itself 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 coloured for impact depending on your goal.
- DIY application: You can apply the film yourself with basic tools.
- Long-lasting: High-grade mirror films are designed to last and hold their colour.
Understanding Mirror Vinyl
Mirror vinyl is crafted from soft vinyl 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 brand-specific looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to walls and other flat surfaces.
- Removable: Vinyl is easy to remove without leaving residue.
- Simple upkeep: Wipe clean with a cloth.
