Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to introduce detail into a setting. Adhesive mirror film is an adhesive sheet that sticks to the surface of the mirror, enabling you to shift its look with ease.
It’s sold in a variety of finishes such as frosted, smoked, 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?
- Cost-effective: Altering your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.
- Versatile styles: Choose from frosted for privacy depending on your goal.
- Do-it-yourself friendly: You can fit the film yourself with basic tools.
- Reliable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is crafted from soft vinyl designed 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 bespoke elements or branding without replacing the mirror.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Creative freedom: Use logos, patterns, or imagery for distinctive looks.
- Adaptable material: Applies to windows and other smooth surfaces.
- Non-permanent: Vinyl is easy to remove without affecting the mirror.
- Easy to clean: Keep it tidy with minimal effort.
Ideas for Applying Mirror Vinyl
You can apply vinyl to make bold changes. Try etched looks for bathroom mirrors, or artwork on living room mirrors for a decorative highlight.
Choosing Between Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl
Your choice depends on the end result.
- Mirror Film: Best for smooth finishes like metallic styles.
- Mirror Vinyl: Ideal for custom designs and branding.
Shops and offices might use both to tie décor into their theme.
Application Tips
- Clean the surface thoroughly to avoid air bubbles.
- Take your time to prevent wrinkles.
