Windows / Glass
Window graphics are a powerful marketing tool for your business, but proper installation is crucial to ensure their longevity. Here’s what you need to know:
Understanding the Process:
By knowing the installation steps, you can prepare your windows and choose the right graphics for the job.
Key Steps:
- Pre-Application: Consider adding a protective overlaminate to shield your graphic from dust, water, and fading. Opt for lighter vinyl colors as dark shades absorb heat and may shorten lifespan.
- Cleaning: A thorough cleaning with rubbing alcohol ensures optimal adhesion. Avoid ammonia-based cleaners, as they leave a residue.
- Application: Once the surface is dry, the installer will carefully position the graphic and remove the liner backing gradually, smoothing it onto the window with a squeegee to eliminate air bubbles.
Additional Considerations:
- Temperature: Installation may be affected by weather. Some vinyl requires warmer temperatures (around 40°F or higher) for proper adhesion.
Benefits of Proper Installation:
Professionally installed window graphics create a visually appealing and long-lasting sign that promotes your business effectively.
