Mirrors can be damaged in a variety of ways. Though they are hard to the touch, the surface of a mirror is actually quite easy to damage or scratch. Even using the wrong cloth to clean a mirror can create tiny scratches. In addition, moisture and other factors can cause a mirror to rust and initiate the process of corrosion.
Installing anti graffiti window film in your Kansas City school or business can help you keep your mirror in good condition and make repairs in a low-cost manner. Anti graffiti films cover scratches, paint, and marker, and make mirrors look like brand new.
The Issue with Repairing or Replacing a Mirror
Once a mirror has been damaged, it is hard to repair. You can have the mirror re-silvered and have the glass replaced or you can replace the entire fixture. This is sometimes a viable option for mirrors that are not high risk, like those in apartment complexes or homes. However, mirrors in commercial buildings and schools are high risk. For these, re-silvering may not be the best option since there’s no guarantee of a long-term solution. You can make the repairs, but someone could come along with a marker or a pen and ruin your mirror all over again, leaving you back at square one.
Why Window Film Is the Better Choice
That’s why window film is a much better solution to repairs and replacement. Specialized types of window film, called anti graffiti film, are designed for this exact purpose. The film is created from a super thick sheet of shiny laminate that looks just like a mirror and has strong bonding agents on the back. The film can be installed on any shape or size of mirror to cover up damage. Once in place, it will also protect your mirror anytime someone tries to vandalize it in the future. If the film ever gets ruined, you can just remove and replace it.
