🏬 In summary: Adhesive lettering and interior window decals enhance storefronts, offices, and corporate signage. From choosing the right polymer vinyl to bubble-free application, learn the secrets to a long-lasting installation.
Types of Professional Adhesive Vinyls
☀️ Long-Lasting Polymer
Longevity: 5 to 8 years outdoors; resistant to UV rays, rain, and high-pressure cleaning.
❄️ Frosted / Sandblasted Film
Elegant frosted glass effect: preserves privacy while allowing 85% of natural light to pass through.
🏢 Indoor Window Decal
Install on the inside of the display window, where it is protected from vandalism and the elements.
The Professional Installation Process
Cutting and Applying the Transfer Tape
After vector cutting and careful weeding, a transparent transfer film (*application tape*) is laminated under pressure to ensure that all characters remain perfectly aligned.
Degreasing and Preparing the Glass
Cleaning with isopropyl alcohol to remove grease and fine dust—an essential step to ensure the border stays in place for 8 years without peeling.
Applying Film with a Squeegee and Removing the Film
Align using a laser level, smooth the film gradually from the center outward to remove air bubbles, then peel off the tape at a 180° angle.
📌 Advice from the Inkura Workshop:
For street-facing storefronts, opt for interior window decals: your decals will be protected from the elements, impacts, and window cleaning on the sidewalk side!
