Vinyl Window Graphics: Grab Attention, Draw the Crowds & Promote Sales

Why choose vinyl window graphics?

Window stickers allow you to take advantage of some of the most visible and valuable advertising space available to you. They offer the opportunity to make a lasting impression on potential customers who don’t already know your business or brand. Why not match the custom window graphics on your car and storefront for maximum impact? If you’re concerned about still being able to see out of your premises or vehicle windows with window graphics, consider installing perforated window decals that enable one-way vision only. 

Perforated window vinyl

Perforated window decals are made from vinyl, containing hundreds of tiny holes that create a full image on the outside of the window, but allow those on the other side of the window to see out. They’re often used on the rear windshields of vehicles, enabling custom graphics to be legally applied to the entire window. They’re also used on storefront windows so that custom window graphics don’t block out excessive light or obscure street views.

Window clings versus custom window decals

The main difference between window clings and window decals are that window clings attach to glass using static, rather than adhesive. The static quality of window clings usually starts to wear off after around 2 years, meaning they aren’t as durable as custom window decals. For durability purposes, window decals are preferred over window clings. However, window clings are quicker and easier to install than window decals.

Custom-designed business window graphics

Custom-designed graphics are created by professional graphic designers who understand the most effective way in which to present a business and brand. Supply them with your business name logo, brand colors, and any suitable images and they will take care of the rest! Well-designed window stickers that effectively promote business information and catch the eye of passers-by are highly likely to increase foot traffic into your business premises.

Caring for custom window decals

In order to increase the longevity of window decals, it’s important to care for them in the following ways:

• Wipe away any dirt or grease as quickly as possible
• Hand wash vehicle, rather than putting through an automated car wash
• Clean using a soft, lint-free cloth
• Park in the shade whenever possible

How to remove window wraps?

Window wraps are quickly and easily removed from windows using heat to soften the adhesive and enable the lifting of the vinyl. Heat can either be applied using a heat gun or warm water and then the vinyl can be slowly and carefully peeled off the window.
