Window Images Viewable from Both Sides
September 8th, 2020
A question often asked about window graphics is “what can I install that would be viewable from both sides and still let light in?
There are options for two-sided window graphics like Duravinyl 463, clear bubble free vinyl and Duravinyl 305, printable barrier film that look great both outdoor and indoor but do not allow light to filter in. Perforated window films like Continental panoRama Innova film looks great on the outside, but have a black back. This allows you to see through the holes when you are viewing from indoors, but also darkens the space during the day. Without direct spotlights on the graphic at night, your window branding and imaging is lost in the dark.
A printable vinyl film that is viewable from outside and inside is Continental panoRama TwoWay Vision film. This printable translucent vinyl is applied to the outside of the window, and when viewed from inside you see the reverse side of the image. The embedded white prism in the vinyl allows light to filter into the room. At night, the embedded prism technology transmits interior lighting, backlighting the image which makes your branding and imaging still viewable at night. The white prism technology also allows printers to print translucent window graphics without the need for white ink. This is ideal for retail showrooms, car dealerships and corporate decorating.

Removing Vinyl and Film Graphics From Windows
May 3rd, 2019
You will find that the ease of removal will depend on several factors:
Surface
Most adhesives stick very well to glass; however, cheaper grades of glass will often cause the adhesive to have a higher grip than a premium grade glass.
Adhesive Strength
Did you use a media with a removable or ultra removable adhesive? For exterior window application, using a media with an ultra removable adhesive like Quality DuraVinyl 252 White or DuraVinyl 352 White 6mil vinyl, will make the removal much easier than a traditional removable vinyl.
Time Frame
The longer the graphic is on the window, the stronger that adhesion. The adhesive often adheres better to the glass than it does to the vinyl over time.
Sunlight
If the graphic is in direct sunlight, this will often cause the graphic to bond to the window and make removal more difficult.
With these factors in mind, lets look into tips for removing vinyl and film graphics from windows:

How do you have back to back graphics without any light shining through to the second side?

Creating Interior Window Graphics
February 9th, 2016
Written by Frank Corey, Senior Area Sales Representative
Interior window graphics have gained popularity in the past few years for a number of reasons. Interior window graphics can be installed any time of the year, in a controlled environment, unlike outdoor graphics which require a minimum application temperature of at least 55 degrees. Interior graphics can typically be applied without any concern for zoning laws that often prohibit signage on outdoor windows. Interior graphic don’t have the chance for vandalism like exterior graphics experience. Lastly, interior graphics are much easier to apply on upper level windows as compared to getting a scaffold for upper level exterior window applications.
