Custom Vinyl Window Graphics

Window graphics are an excellent way to show what you have to offer and attract potential customers as they pass by. Both stationary and moving windows are excellent surfaces for displaying advertising graphics and can be used by almost any type of business, including retail stores, office buildings, and restaurants. Exterior window wraps should be a part of your branding strategy, and adding different types of window graphics is a great way to boost your Calgary business’ marketing efforts. Windows should be the surfaces that are regularly updated to keep your brand fresh.

Interior and exterior window graphics can be personalized with your current message and promotions. The available materials range from opaque to translucent to transparent. Perforated materials enable the graphic to be displayed outside while still allowing light to pass through. Calgary Sign Company is here to help you and we’ll go over your windows with you to create a new look.

Types of Window Vinyls to Choose From

There are several major types of vinyls to choose from when deciding what to place on your windows.

Regular window vinyl. Convert your windows into fully covered surfaces that display your products or services. Though opaque decals prevent people from seeing into your building, it does allow you to display a message of your choice in the most visually appealing manner.
Perforated window vinyl. Perforated window vinyl film is a type of one-way visibility window advertising. You can see a solid image from the outside. From the inside, it appears to be a black shade with numerous tiny perforations. This type of window graphic makes a strong statement while still allowing for privacy and natural light.
Frosted window film. Today, many businesses use frosted window film to add privacy as well as some technical benefits. Frosted window film can transform your plain commercial windows into dependable privacy glass. A frosted film can also make your environment more comfortable. Frosted window film can improve your commercial site’s thermal efficiency while blocking direct sunlight.
Window clings. This is an easily removable window film and can be printed on. This vinyl is typically lower cost than regular low adhesive vinyl window wraps. However they are only for short term temporary use only as they lose their adhesiveness quickly.

The Ways that Window Graphics can be Installed

In the signage industry, there are two ways window graphics and custom window decals can be installed, first surface and second surface. This simply means the exterior or interior side of the window or glass surfaces. First surface means on the exterior side of the glass, which is the most common window graphics installation method as it looks the best. Second surface means on the interior side of the glass. This typically requires a bit more work and is harder to see as the colour is affected by the glass as well as reflections. On the plus side, it’s less vulnerable to vandalism. Talk one of our window graphic experts today to see what kind of window treatment you require and whether first surface or second surface installation works best for you.

Window Graphics FAQ

What is a window graphic?

Consider window graphics to be personalized window stickers. They are made of vinyl and can be easily applied to windows without the use of any special tools. Window graphics can be customized with your logo, colours, message, and more. Window graphics are used by our customers to decorate storefront windows, advertise promotions, and display seasonal themes.

Are vinyl window decals removable?

While it depends on the type of decal you used, most window decals are simple to remove and leave no residue behind. Static cling window decals, in particular, do not require tape or any other adhesive, so you can simply peel them off when you want to remove them.

What is the difference between a window cling and a decal?

Custom window clings and window decals are remarkably similar in that they can both be installed on glass surfaces and personalized with your designs. So, what’s the distinction? Window decals adhere to glass with adhesives, so they can be installed indoors or outdoors, but they are not reusable. Window clings, on the other hand, use static electricity to adhere to glass, making them reusable but only suitable for indoor use.

What material is best for a window decal?

Vinyl is typically the best material to use. However, there are numerous types and thicknesses to choose from. Cast vinyl is a thinner and more flexible option, whereas calendared vinyl is most likely the most popular. You can also choose something more distinctive, such as metallic or reflective vinyl.
