Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to inject style into a room. Mirror film is a thin layer that sticks to the surface of the mirror, letting you change its look with ease.
It’s available in a selection of effects such as etched, tinted, or coloured options, making it easy to match the film to your preferred design. There’s no need for a full replacement to achieve a new look.
Why Pick Mirror Film?
- Budget-friendly: Revamping your mirror with film is cheaper than buying a new one.
- Style choices: Choose from tinted for warmth depending on your goal.
- DIY application: You can apply the film yourself with minimal tools.
- Durable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and hold their colour.
What Is Mirror Vinyl?
Decorative vinyl film is made from pliable PVC ideal 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 ideal for adding bespoke elements or creative elements without long-term commitment.
