Austin is a clean, thriving metropolis. But like any city– graffiti is an issue. Graffiti is not always just the spray paint you see on walls. It comes in many forms: spray paint, scratches, and acid marks. One of the most common places to see graffiti is scratched on mirrors in bathrooms specifically–restaurants and bars most frequently. Whether by marker or key scratches–graffiti on mirrors is rampant and expensive to fix. It also makes your Austin eatery, brewery or bar look low-brow and gives it bad reputations. This ultimately will cause you to lose business. Also, replacement mirrors are costly to replace and mirror surfaces can be sanded like other flat surfaces–so need to be replaced. By far the best solution to the issue of mirror graffiti in bars, cafes, and restaurants is mirrored surface film.
What is Mirrored Film?
Mirrored films are amazing. These thick, mirrored finish films have a highly adhesive back–that will stick and stay on top of your damaged mirror without being noticeable. In fact, the mirrored finish matches exactly. They are applied on top of your existing mirrors to hide the damage. They also have a few added benefits for Austin hospitality locations.
Mirrored Films Benefits for Restaurants and Bars
- Helps Maintain Your Reputations: Mirror graffiti is so bad for your restaurant or bar’s reputation. It makes your space look ugly and cheap. When it stays on mirrors will definitely affect how people view your Austin establishment. Mirrored films go over the graffiti and there is no noticeable difference after they are applied. Meaning the attractive appearance of your space will be back again!
- Less Expensive Than Replacement: Mirror features, especially in commercial settings, are incredibly expensive. The installation and the cost of the mirror itself are high– especially custom-sized mirrors. Mirrored surface films cost pennies on the dollar not only in materials but the installation as well. Plus, should they get tagged again–you simply have the film removed and replaced for a very reasonable price.
- Easy Installation: Mirrored films are amazing at obscuring graffiti but they are also quick to install. Instead of finding a new mirror, replacing the damaged mirror, and then having the new one hung–these films are removed and replaced in much less than an hour. They don’t require you to have drywall repaired, or new holes drilled-it is just a simple application process many times taking only minutes.
