How Mirror Film and Vinyl Film for Mirrors Can Update Your Mirror Décor

Advantages of Using Mirror Film

Decorating mirrors can be a simple way 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 selection of finishes such as etched, tinted, or shaded options, helping you 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: Altering your mirror with film is cheaper than buying a new one.


• Style choices: Choose from coloured for impact depending on your goal.


• DIY application: You can fit the film yourself with basic tools.


• Long-lasting: High-grade mirror films are designed to last and hold their colour.

What Is Mirror Vinyl?

Mirror vinyl is a flexible PVC material designed for more precise mirror decoration. It allows you to cut designs, logos, or patterns that are applied directly to the mirror surface.

This makes it suitable for adding bespoke elements or creative elements without permanent change.
