Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to add personality into a room. 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 available in a range of finishes such as frosted, tinted, or coloured options, helping you match the film to different themes. Replacing the entire mirror isn’t necessary to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Budget-friendly: Altering your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Style choices: Choose from coloured for impact depending on your goal.
- Easy installation: You can install the film yourself with little effort.
- Long-lasting: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is made from pliable PVC that’s used for more detailed 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.
