Benefits of Using Mirror Film

Decorating mirrors can be a simple way to add personality into any space. Mirror film is a thin layer that sticks to the surface of the mirror, allowing you to modify its look with ease.

It’s available in a range of effects such as etched, tinted, or coloured options, helping you match the film to different themes. You don’t need to replace the mirror itself to achieve a new look.

Why Pick Mirror Film?

• Cost-effective: Altering your mirror with film is cheaper than purchasing a new one.


• Range of options: Choose from tinted for warmth depending on your goal.


• DIY application: You can apply the film yourself with minimal tools.


• Long-lasting: High-grade mirror films resist peeling and fade slowly.

Understanding Mirror Vinyl

Decorative vinyl film is made from pliable PVC that’s used for more precise mirror decoration. It's used to create designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.

This makes it ideal for introducing bespoke elements or branding without replacing the mirror.

Benefits of Mirror Vinyl

• Creative freedom: Add logos, motifs, or text for brand-specific looks.


• Wide application: Works on walls and other smooth surfaces.


• Non-permanent: Vinyl can be peeled off without affecting the mirror.


• Easy to clean: Keep it tidy with minimal effort.

Ideas for Applying Mirror Vinyl
