How Mirror Film and Vinyl Film for Mirrors Can Change Your Mirror Décor
Benefits of Using Mirror Film
Changing up your mirrors is a straightforward method to add personality into a setting. Mirror film is a flexible coating that sticks to the surface of the mirror, letting you change its look with ease.
It’s sold in a range of finishes such as etched, 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?
- Budget-friendly: Revamping your mirror with film is cheaper than buying a new one.
- Style choices: Choose from coloured for impact depending on your goal.
- Easy installation: You can fit the film yourself with basic tools.
- Reliable: High-grade mirror films won’t peel easily and fade slowly.
Understanding Mirror Vinyl
Decorative vinyl film is made from pliable PVC that’s used for more precise mirror decoration. You can cut designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.
This makes it great for introducing bespoke elements or branding without long-term commitment.
Benefits of Mirror Vinyl
- Customisation: Use logos, patterns, or imagery for distinctive looks.
- Adaptable material: Applies to windows and other smooth surfaces.
- Removable: Vinyl is easy to remove without damaging the glass.
- Easy to clean: Wipe clean with minimal effort.
Ideas for Applying Mirror Vinyl
Use vinyl creatively to add subtle details. Try etched looks for bathroom mirrors, or floral patterns on living room mirrors for a visual impact.
Choosing Between Mirror Film and Mirror Vinyl
Your decision depends on the style you're after.
- Mirror Film: Best for clean looks like tinted styles.
- Mirror Vinyl: Ideal for intricate patterns and personalisation.
Businesses might benefit from both to tie décor into their theme.
Application Tips
- Clean the surface thoroughly to get a good bond.
- Apply carefully to prevent wrinkles.
