This is going to be the first of a new series of blog posts describing products. We’re focusing on three things What, why and How.
This Week’s post is about Static Cling.
What:
Static cling vinyl is a low tack non-adhesive plastic film used for window decals.
It sticks to glossy surfaces like glass without any adhesive and can be easily removed without leaving any residue.
Instead of using static electricity, static cling vinyl is a highly plasticized thin film that works like many tiny suction cups. Just like suction cups it works best on glass surfaces.
Why:
Static cling is easy to install, reposition, and does not require a professional installer.
When removed, static cling does not leave any residue.
Since static cling film does not have adhesive on its back, static cling is often used when the decal is to be easily removed after it has served its purpose.
Static cling is best used for temporary, seasonal or holiday decorations. For example, when promoting for a new offer at a restaurant or a retail business it is better to use static cling decals to cover windows, glass doors or displays since it can be easily installed and removed.
Static Cling can be reused if removed properly.
How:
When installing Static Cling decals always clean the surface thoroughly.
Make sure that no debris builds up when removing if you are planning on reinstalling.
It’s better to place the static cling decals indoors on the inside of the windows.
The shelf life for static cling decals is short and the vinyl is guaranteed for 6 months.
