If earlier this type of interior decoration was used exclusively in fashion clubs or office buildings, now it is no longer a novelty and is increasingly used for home. Panels with mirrors do a good job of adjusting the geometry of space, expanding it, and the atmosphere in the room becomes more light and airy. But it is not always possible to install mirrors from real glass. This material is heavy and brittle, requires a powerful and reliable frame for fastening. Mirrored wall panels on a practically weightless self-adhesive base are a new and more practical method that greatly extends the possibility of using a surface with reflective properties in a living room.
Types of mirror self-adhesive panels?
Plastic with a reflective surface is made mainly of polystyrene and vinyl, the technology and properties of these materials are somewhat different. On top of polystyrene, an aluminum coating is attached, which has a fairly good reflective effect, similar in appearance to a natural mirror. In a humid room, it is not recommended to use it, if the water gets to the unprotected edge, the base may become delaminated with time. Cutting such mirrors should be possible with a high-precision tool.
PVC panels have an increased moisture resistance, they are stronger and withstand a moderate mechanical load. Cut this material can be any sharp devices, for example, sharpened home knives. On top of them is applied a mirror film, protected by varnish. The distinctive quality of mirrored PVC panels is their flexibility. They easily take the desired shape, repeating the bends of the rough surface. If vinyl is not afraid of moisture, then it is susceptible to high temperatures, so do not use it very close to sources of fire.
Mounting self-adhesive mirror plastic panels
To begin with, it is desirable to ensure maximum adhesion of polymer mirrors to the main surface, so it must be well prepared for work, removing all dust, dirt and grease stains. PVC mirrors can be glued to columns, arches and a convex object, because it is flexible enough material. If you have joints, you should ensure a gap of 0.5 mm between them that is not visible to outsiders. This is necessary in order that there is no deformation during the possible heating and subsequent expansion of the surface of the mirrors.
Mirror panels on a self-adhesive basis in the interior
These panels are square or rectangular in different sizes, but if desired, you can get the material of any zigzag configuration. The ability to purchase tinted mirrors greatly extends their scope of application. Also on the plastic surface are applied a variety of relief texture, so they can easily be selected for any design style. With the help of special tools from plates it is easy to cut out various figures, decorating the interior with various mirror modular pictures of your own production.
Mirrors from vinyl, polystyrene or acrylic can easily be used in a residential area. Kitchens from these panels construct aprons or mirror furniture facades. However, it should be noted that the soot and dirt quickly make the decorative surface turbid and therefore it will have to be treated regularly with cleaning agents. Magnificent mirror panels on a quality self-adhesive basis are suitable for wall cladding in bedrooms or living rooms. For example, now it has become fashionable to glue such material around the bed, creating chic arches or other beautiful compositions. It is no longer necessary to be afraid that the children will break the fragile glass, so the owners decorate without fear with mirrors made of PVC or polystyrene large areas of their walls in any living room, transforming the interior for the better.
