Advantages of Using Mirror Film

Adding design to your mirrors offers a quick route to introduce detail into a room. Adhesive mirror film is an adhesive sheet that sticks to the surface of the mirror, letting you change its look with ease.

• Do-it-yourself friendly: You can install the film yourself with minimal tools.
