What is the Difference Between a Wrap and a Decal?

Window wraps and window decals do sometimes refer to the same products, though they may be made slightly differently. Decals are traditionally, although not always, smaller than wraps.

What is Window Frosting?

Window frosting is a special kind of wrap that creates a frosted glass look without requiring any expensive custom glass. It's great for privacy, but still lets in light, and can be used even on most commercial rentals.

Do You Create Two Sided Window Wraps?

Window wraps are traditionally one sided. If you'd like those inside of your store to see something different than those outside of your store, let us know and we can discuss the different options.

Do Window Wraps Block Light?

It depends. Perforated window wraps are specifically designed to let in light, and the one sided wraps we create can absolutely let light in. Partial coverage wraps can let in light anywhere the wrap is transparent. But full coverage, full color wraps may block some light. For many companies, this is by design.

Your Local Glass and Windows Wrapping Company

For the average business, a bare window is a wasted space. Every business needs to have a personality as part of its brand, and it needs to make sure that it takes advantage of whatever limited space is available to market its business and attract customers. That means decorating your windows, and the best way to do that is with a window wrap.

Window wraps are thin sheets of 3M Vinyl that adhere to the inside of a window in order to display a graphic, words, or decorations that can be seen from the street, inside of the property or both. If you’d like to get started, or you’re interested in learning more about our window graphics, contact Brooklyn Signs today at (718) 252-7575.

Types of Window Wraps

How We Customize Your Window Wraps

Window wraps are vinyl aluminum coil generally sold in rolls of 50 feet by 2 feet. This aluminum coil is then cut to fit the sides of windows and trim areas.

Window wraps are partial or full coverage window covers that can display text, graphics, and more. The wraps can also be used to make glass appear decorative - for example, with prints that look like etching or frosted glass. Storefront window wraps have the advantage of being long lasting and temporary - you can remove and replace the wrap at any time without harming the glass, or keep the wrap up for several years with the proper maintenance.

For businesses that want to cover a window but still let customer see outside, there is one way vision window film available, made with mesh vinyl. All of these different customization options make it possible to use window wraps in NYC for a number of different ideas, including:

Privacy – Some companies cover the entirety of the window to give their customers privacy. Gyms, for example, often use these to advertise their gym in the front and protect their members inside.

Anticipation for a Future Venue – Window murals are also great as new store opening signs, under construction signs, new product announcements, store closing, and more. They can cover such a wide amount of space that anyone within the area will notice and remember the sign when they pass by.

Marketing/Advertising – Because this type of large format printing is visible from far away, it is an effective tool for branding a business, marketing a company, or advertising a product. Depending on the size of your window, some businesses are able to combine the size of the billboard with the visibility of a street sign, providing better long term branding than any other type of sign.

Window wraps come with either glossy or matte options. They can be cut to shapes (for example, a logo), or edge to edge. Because they start at such a large size, there are no size limitations. Many of the wraps we create are as small as decals or as large as the façade of a building.

How Are Window Wraps Made?

We use large format printers that integrate latex ink for a high resolution finish. We have Avery, Vinyl, 3M, and budget brands available in 13, 15, and 18 weights. Window wraps are traditionally printed on 3M vinyl. It is thin and removable.

The wraps can be designed in nearly any size (smaller wraps are often called decals but are made of roughly the same material) and, because vinyl is so useful for color printing, they can be a vibrant color that is noticeable even in dim lighting.

Window wraps can also take advantage of the space by complementing the light on the other side, helping some aspects of the wrap shine through. They can be perforated to let light in naturally, or near-transparent so that the wrap doesn’t block visibility inside or out.

Who Uses Window Wraps?

Storefront window wraps and window mesh are also useful as a directional tool, as they make it easier for people to find and remember your storefront. It’s why they are often seen on restaurants, fast food stores, movie shoots, retail stores, gyms, massage parlors, movie theaters, hair salons, schools, and many other types of stores and venues.

General contractors use them before a grand opening. Because they can be made small, they are also used inside on office partitions.
