Advantages 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. Replacing the entire mirror isn’t necessary to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Affordable: Revamping your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Versatile styles: Choose from coloured for impact depending on your goal.
- Easy installation: You can apply the film yourself with basic tools.
- Long-lasting: High-grade mirror films resist peeling 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 introducing artistic features or graphics without replacing the mirror.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Add logos, motifs, or imagery for personal looks.
- Wide application: Applies to windows and other smooth surfaces.
- Temporary: Vinyl is easy to remove without affecting the mirror.
- Low maintenance: Dust or clean it with standard cleaning tools.
Ideas for Applying Mirror Vinyl
You can apply vinyl to make bold changes. Try frosted finishes for spaces needing privacy, or floral patterns on living room mirrors for a decorative highlight.
Choosing Between Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl
Your choice depends on the style you're after.
- Mirror Film: Best for clean looks like metallic styles.
- Mirror Vinyl: Ideal for custom logos and branding.
Businesses might benefit from both to support their branding.
Applying the Film or Vinyl
- Clean the surface thoroughly to ensure adhesion.
- Apply carefully to prevent alignment issues.
- Use a craft knife for trimming excess film cleanly.
