These interior window graphics needed to be removed.

Some business owners rely on window graphics to support seasonal marketing campaigns. When they are over, it is time to remove the window graphics. Unless you specifically invested in a cling product, you are now dealing with a glass surface to which the material adheres very well.

Another reason can be the new tenant who is taking over an existing storefront or office where some of the signage is still intact. Examples may include lightbox cabinets, monument signs, and window graphics. The vinyl may be on the interior as well as on the exterior glass panels. Because you want to introduce your brand message, it is necessary to remove any displays from a previous company.

Last but not least, consider the decision to undergo a rebranding. Companies do so when it comes time to adjust their brand message with a changing consumer demographic in mind. In this situation, you might be looking at a change in font, color play, or even logo presentation. Old window graphics need to come down and make room for new ones.

Common sense might tell you that a heat source is an excellent tool to use. And if you were talking about a bumper sticker on a car, you might be right. However, you are dealing with a large glass panel. Selectively increasing its temperature is a recipe for breakage. The same goes for the strong pull you might employ to remove a large section of vinyl.

Instead, our experts employ a scoring technique. They cut the graphic with a liner tool. This technique prevents any damage to the underlying glass panels. Next, they work on removing a small section of the vinyl. Applying force to a small part of the window decreases the chance of damage and subsequent breakage. For any remaining adhesive, you might use a solvent. Of course, when you are doing it for the first time, it can be dicey.
