Claim:
A method of providing information at the point of use of a window assembly comprising the steps of: providing masking material comprising a substrate and a first adhesive disposed upon a first face of the substrate; providing a pane having a pane surface; calculating a number of strips and an overlap dimension for forming a protective covering sized so that an unmasked apron of the pane surface surrounds the protective covering, the unmasked apron being large enough to receive a sash yet small enough that the protective covering will substantially protect a portion of the pane not covered by the sash; forming the protective covering by applying a plurality of masking material strips onto the pane surface in a sequentially overlapping fashion according to the overlap dimension; providing an information bearing sheet comprising a sheetstock having a first side, a second side and second adhesive overlaying the first side of the sheetstock; adhering the second adhesive to the protective covering; wherein the second adhesive has substantially greater adhesion than the first adhesive.
