There are several different kinds of window graphics.
For example, you can get store window lettering, which is elegant and straightforward. This is perfect for displaying your contact info, store hours, and business logo. There are also window stickers, which are for one-time use because they cannot be repositioned.
Next up are semi-permanent window decals. This means that although you’ll be able to initially reposition the decal, once the adhesive sets, it'll be hard to peel off. Window decals can be affixed to the window in three different ways—to the outside, the inside, and the inside facing out.
The first type of window decal is the clear kind. With this type, you can see through any part that doesn’t have printing. Next are opaque decals, which means you cannot see through any of it.
There are also perforated decals. With this kind, you can see through the decal to whatever’s on the outside the window, but nobody can see in. This effect is accomplished with the addition of tiny holes on the printed side. This type of graphic saves you money on air conditioning during sweltering weather because it’s semi-opaque. This means that the amount of sunlight coming through your office windows is significantly reduced, lowering the temperature by a few degrees. It also removes 99% of all ultraviolet light, which helps to reduce fading of your interior furnishings.
You can also get clings, which have no adhesive because they stick to the window with static electricity. They're used a lot on sneeze guards in restaurants to advertise deals of the day. Clings are easily removed and reapplied and can be transparent or opaque. So, if you need an easily repositionable sign, go with a cling over a decal.
That's because, with a decal, you'll need soapy water and a razor blade to remove it.
