Advantages of Using Mirror Film
Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to introduce detail into a room. Mirror film is a flexible coating that sticks to the surface of the mirror, letting you change its look with ease.
It’s available in a variety of finishes such as etched, tinted, or coloured options, making it easy to match the film to your décor. 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.
- DIY application: You can fit the film yourself with little effort.
- Long-lasting: High-grade mirror films are designed to last and hold their colour.
Understanding Mirror Vinyl
Mirror vinyl is crafted from soft vinyl that’s used 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 great for creating distinct visuals or branding without long-term commitment.

- Design flexibility: Add logos, patterns, or imagery for personal looks.
- Multi-surface use: Applies to windows and other smooth surfaces.
- Temporary: Vinyl is easy to remove without affecting the mirror.
