Benefits 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, 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 décor. Replacing the entire mirror isn’t necessary to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Cost-effective: 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 are designed to last and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Mirror vinyl is crafted from soft vinyl that’s used for more customised 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 long-term commitment.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Design flexibility: Add logos, motifs, or imagery for personal looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to windows and other flat surfaces.
- Removable: Vinyl is easy to remove without affecting the mirror.
- Simple upkeep: Wipe clean with minimal effort.
Ideas for Applying Mirror Vinyl
Vinyl can be used to introduce patterns. Try etched looks for bathroom mirrors, or geometric shapes on living room mirrors for a design boost.
Choosing Between Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl
Your decision depends on the end result.
- Mirror Film: Best for uniform effects like frosted styles.
- Mirror Vinyl: Ideal for intricate designs and branding.
Commercial setups 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 sharp blade for trimming excess film cleanly.
