Applying window perforated vinyl also referred to as see-through vinyl, or one-way vision film is a bit different than applying regular self-adhesive vinyl films. As with any installation, preparation is critical, and one-way vision has its own process. Below are some guidance that could help you in applying One-Way-Vision whether it is on car, window store, or even office glass window.
After Printing Process
In most cases that images are eco-solvent printing with dark colors and heavy saturation, so please make sure that the vinyl has enough time to evaporate the solvents (recommended 48 hours), before you apply to any surface!
Preparation
- The best temperature to apply is between 15-40 degrees on the environment.
- Avoid direct sunlight whilst applying the film, as the UV rays could destroy the properties of the adhesive and lead to an increase of residue.
- Whilst cleaning the glass prior to the graphic application, it is recommended to do an isopropyl alcohol wipe using a soaked towel to clean the surface and a dry towel wipe to remove crease or dirt that has left behind on the surface.
Finishing
It is important to trim the edge back for about 0,5cm on all sides to prevent lifting. For cars, the rubber seals surrounding car windows expand and contract with the weather and they contain oils which will affect the adhesive on the film and can cause failure.
Though this may not be a guarantee due to wide range of possible applications, but we hope above guidance could help in making the best result with our PROVIEW PR140/20R One Way Vision Film, the first one way vision film with 80:20 perforation in Indonesia.
