Avoiding Heat-Related Window Graphics Issues

There is no doubt over the many benefits that window graphics can offer. Be it promoting a business to passers-by on the street outside or adding colourful decoration for those on the inside to enjoy, window graphics are a cost effective solution in many environments.




However, that is not to say that these applications do not cause some issues for the customer in both the long term and short term, specifically when it comes to the excess coverage of a window. It is the responsibility of installers and providers to help mitigate risks and ensure they deliver a stress free set of graphics to their customers.

But how do you go about avoiding some of the common issues with window graphics? To start, you need to understand the main problem that comes with excessive coverage: thermal stress. Larger areas that are covered with graphics can trap heat, which in turn leads to thermal stress on the glass. This can lead to the window glass cracking or shattering, which may then see your customer turn to you for some form of compensation.

The good news for installers and providers is that this issue can be easily avoided by taking the right steps during planning and installation. By carefully mapping out the project and paying attention to detail, you can ensure that the integrity of the glass is not compromised when installing the graphics.

One useful piece of advice for such an issue is to make sure you avoid covering the entire window with film, vinyl and graphics, and to leave some space. This helps to prevent heat build-up and allows for better heat dissipation. Obviously take care to not impact the look and quality of the graphics and overall design, as this could also leave the customer feeling dissatisfied.
