Perforated window graphics

A full-colour graphic on the outside of the glass, and a normal view from a desk on the inside. The trick is the perforation, and the reason it works is that your eye follows the lit side.

What we actually do

Perf film turns dead glass into advertising without turning the room behind it into a cave. It is the right answer for storefront windows, rear van glass, office glazing and anywhere blocking the view outright would cost you more than the graphic earns.

We print, laminate and install it, including the parts that get skipped: cleaning the glass properly, working the film around defroster lines, and trimming to the frame instead of leaving a hopeful overlap.

Perforated windows questions we get asked

Can people see in at night?

Somewhat, yes. The effect depends on which side is brighter. In daylight the outside is brighter and the film reads as a solid graphic; after dark with interior lights on, that flips and the view inward improves. For true privacy at night, frosted film is the better tool.

Does it block the view from inside?

It dims it, a bit like a screen door. Most people stop noticing within a week. If a specific desk needs a clean view, we can leave that pane out of the layout.

Will it pass a rear window inspection?

Perf on rear glass is common on commercial vehicles. Rules differ for passenger vehicles and for windshields and front side windows, so tell us the vehicle and how it is registered and we will keep the layout on the right side of it.
