Opaque Window Wraps Eliminate Visibility 

Do you have a window that you do not need? Maybe you moved some shelves around, and they now block your windows. Opaque vinyl window wraps are the ideal product solution. We imprint them with the advertising and brand-building messages you want customers to see. When it comes time to install them, our team ensures a perfect fit. The finished result covers the window, and it will be impossible to see out or in.

Translucent Window Wraps Dramatically Impact the Interior

Translucent vinyl window film provides privacy. However, what sets it apart is the ability to feature stunning effects inside, on the other side of the window. Customers on the exterior see your advertising message. Showcase a Hawaiian sunset, and the translucent film softens the light to make the scene look almost real. Inside, workers and customers will love the effect. Outside, the material showcases the image and offers privacy.

Perforated Window Wraps Combine Privacy and Safety With Advertising

There are different types of vinyl for perforated window wraps. We prefer to use the 70/30 material. Seventy percent of the vinyl is imprinted to showcase your message, and thirty percent is removed through tiny perforations. The result is fascinating. On the outside, you see the advertising message. From the inside, you can see out. Additionally, sunlight can enter your space and minimize the need for artificial light sources. 

Who Uses Opaque, Translucent, and Perforated Vinyl Window Wraps?

Opaque vinyl is a good option for any business that wants to cover up windows. If you do not need them for display purposes, opaque vinyl is the best choice. For privacy and safety, we recommend perforated vinyl. It is a good option for schools, government offices, and medical clinics. While your branding message appeals to the customer, those on the inside continue to have a clear view of who is outside and what is happening in front of the location.

In contrast, translucent vinyl works well when your primary focus is to make a dramatic statement on the interior. Again, the vinyl will display your advertising message; however, the full effect will become obvious inside. The diffused light will create an amazing look and feel that could be heightened with wall wraps or graphics.

Protecting Your Window Wrap Investment

Keep graffiti at bay with an anti-graffiti coating. Moreover, applying UV-resistant films minimizes the sun's rays, which tend to affect furnishings and carpets. We also recommend a clear film to protect the perforations from dirt for perforated vinyl. Find out more about your options and talk through your choices. Call us today!
