Business exteriors are full of possibilities for expression. This is true especially for adding signage. Exterior walls provide a solid background for installing almost any size or shape sign, whether made of metal or acrylic, to fabric banners, but a wall full of windows needs a different material. The most popular and most versatile sign medium for exterior windows is vinyl.
Premier Signs of Tampa has tackled many outdoor projects for multiple client’s exterior windows. Three recent projects involved Miracle Ear of Temple Terrace, Florida Eye Associates in Tampa and the University of South Florida campus. The first two used vinyl lettering to display pertinent information about their hours of operation, services, address numbers and name and logo. This type of exterior vinyl use is seen on almost all business exteriors that have glass windows, doors or transoms. Even though it is a more commonplace use, it is a vital one. Just approach an office or retail store when the doors are locked and experience the worth of these vinyl signs. Florida Eye is a new location, while the Miracle Ear windows were updated. This brings up another reason vinyl is great for this outdoor application, removability. It is a very durable material but it can also be removed with very little residue left behind. This allows business owners to update or add easily. Vinyl also comes in a full spectrum of color choices, so your windows can be as colorful as you would like.
The University of South Florida took the wide color option to a whole different level. They installed full color, high resolution, vinyl window perfs at several locations on campus. This explosion of color covers the selected windows from edge to edge and sometimes turns the corner. The images reflect the campus’ beauty back as students, faculty and visitors rush from building to building. These perfs not only add to the outdoor atmosphere, but they provide privacy to the indoor spaces while allowing them to see clearly to the outside.Nature scenes were not the only images installed on USF campus, some windows don the powerful image of the bulls mascot in the school colors. Perfs like these help inspire school spirit and communicate the pride that the community has in their school.
Perfs can turn your business store front from a wall of clear glass windows to virtually anything. Have an idea for a perf for your business, or need to know the options perfs can give you?
