This blog post is on perforated vinyl. We are going to talk about What, Why and How.
What:
- Perforated vinyl is also known as One-Way vinyl or Privacy film
- It’s a printable vinyl with permanent adhesive on the back
- Perforated vinyl is applied to exterior windows and works like a car tint. When the light outside is brighter than inside, you can see through it from the inside, and you can see the print from the outside without seeing inside.
- There are several types of perforated vinyl based on the holes size in the media film.
- 50/50 is used for vehicles to give maximum visibility to the outside
- 70/30 is used for window graphics
- 80/20 is used for more lighted rooms to give better privacy and sharper print.
Why:
- Perforated vinyl is used on vehicles and windows to show a print without blocking the light and view to the outside.
- It gives privacy to offices and rooms.
- Being able to cover the whole windows with a great design and graphics without blocking sunlight and visibility is a great advantage for perforated window film.
- It’s perfect for windows for store fronts, commercial plazas, apartment complexes, amenities, medical clinics and so much more.
How:
- It is best to install perforated vinyl by a professional.
- Make sure that no debris builds up when removing if you are planning on reinstalling.
- It’s installed on the glass from the outside.
- Perforated vinyl can be laminated with a clear laminate to extend the life of the film and prevent fading while also helping keep the graphics form collecting dust.
