Window and storefront graphics in Southern California Printed, cut and installed on your glass.

Not all vinyl is the same, and the difference shows up a year or two after install. There are two main types.

Cast vinyl starts as a liquid that is spread thin and cured flat. It is thinner, more stable and shrinks very little. It conforms to door frames, rivets and textured surfaces, and it holds its color longer in direct sun. We use it for long-term lettering, logos and anything on a door or frame.

Calendared vinyl is pressed and stretched into a sheet. It is thicker and costs less, but it can shrink over time and is best on flat glass. It works well for:

• Seasonal promotions and sale graphics.
• Grand opening or coming soon graphics.
• Short-term signage during a remodel.

On south and west facing windows in the Inland Empire, where the glass gets hot and the sun is strong, we usually recommend cast vinyl or a laminated print. Tell us how long you plan to keep the graphics up, and we will match the material to that goal.

Perforated window film is printed vinyl with small holes across its surface. From outside, your eye sees the printed graphic. From inside, the dark back of the film lets people see out, much like looking through a screen door.

• 50/50 perforation is half film, half holes. It gives better visibility from inside and is a common choice where staff need to watch the parking lot or entrance.
• 70/30 perforation has more printed film and fewer holes. Graphics look brighter and more solid, with a little less see-through from inside.

A few things to know before choosing perforated film:

• It goes on the outside of the glass, with a clear laminate to keep rain and dust out of the holes.
• Visibility from inside drops at night when your interior lights are brighter than outside.
• Small text and fine detail get lost in the holes, so we keep the design bold.

Your 3D mockup shows how the graphic will read from the street, so you can judge the coverage before we print.

Not every window needs a full graphic. Many businesses need privacy, required info on the door or a clean logo on the glass. We handle these jobs across Riverside, San Bernardino, Orange and Los Angeles counties, too.

• Frosted film gives conference rooms, medical offices and salons privacy while still letting light through. We can cut your logo or a pattern into the frost.
• Privacy and blackout film blocks views into back rooms, storage and exam areas.
• Vinyl lettering for business hours, phone numbers, addresses and door decals, sized to read from the sidewalk.
• Removal of old, faded or cracked vinyl, with the adhesive cleaned off before new graphics go up.

Some shopping centers limit how much glass can be covered, and some cities count window signs toward your allowed sign area. We check your center's sign criteria and local rules before we print. Call 951-552-0709 for a free mockup of your storefront.
