Perforated Vinyl for Windows

What Are Perforated Window Decals?

A custom window decal is one of the best ways to grab a little extra advertising space in your store’s unused windows. A common complaint? As vinyl window wrap is opaque, it blocks light and limits the views of the outside. For some companies, reduced visibility is a reasonable trade-off for some great advertising from the outside. For others, however, a perforated window decal is preferable.

Unlike solid vinyl that can turn your window areas into great advertising opportunities as well as turning those useful windows into virtual walls, perforated window decals are opaque on one side yet transparent on the other. That means you can get the best of both worlds — great advertising from the outside without obstructing views and light from the inside.

We call it one-way visibility, but it’s basically the secret of perforated vinyl. Instead of a solid sheet of vinyl, perforated window decals have a certain percentage of the material removed — a pattern of tiny holes across the entire sheet — often in the range of 20 to 50 percent. For example, 80/20, 70/30 or 60/40 vinyl means 80, 70 or 60 percent vinyl with 20, 30 or 40 percent removed, respectively. Lower concentrations of vinyl means letting more light through, but it can also affect visibility outside. For the best in high visibility while maintaining the benefits of perforated vinyl, we suggest 80 percent vinyl.

The magic comes from all those tiny little holes, helping to create an optical illusion that looks like a solid image when viewed from outside while the inside layer reveals all the holes, allowing anyone to see through the graphic with ease. In general, it also means that lighter graphics tend to illustrate this to greater effect, with darker blacks, blues, purples and browns typically reserved for lettering, though this is mitigated somewhat by using lower perforation densities.

How to Display Perforated Window Decals

Perforated window decals are especially well suited to product advertisements and marketing campaigns. They are ideal for retail stores, gallery events and exhibitions, and other temporary advertising campaigns.
