Window Signs
Many businesses fail to capitalize on the advertising potential of their windows, even though windows are a great space to communicate key messages to potential customers outside of a store.
You can make use of this space by contacting About Signs to discuss your ideas for window signs, and receive a quote for the project you have in mind.
What is a window sign?
A window sign is just that – a sign affixed to a window. This type of sign is created by turning a design into a static cling decal, then expertly applying the decal to the window. When applied properly, it will appear that the window decal is actually part of the glass, with no peeling or bubbling to ruin the illusion.
Custom window decals may be anything from a discreet logo to a sale announcement to eye-catching graphics that cover entire panes. However, you want to go about using your windows as a place to market your company, About Signs can help bring your vision to life.
2 & 3D letter window decals
Catch the eye of passers-by with text that appears to pop right out of the glass. Three-dimensional letters are easy to add to a window display and can be used to permanently display a brand name, or temporarily inform people about an offer. Two-dimensional letters serve the same purpose in a more traditional font.
Here are some examples of window lettering decals.
Graphic decals
Combine images and text on glass doors and windows to make full use of your building’s marketing potential. You can keep it simple with a low-key design that leaves the majority of the glass transparent, or use the panes as a vast canvas to showcase attractive window signage.
Check out some examples of this type of window sticker here.
Full pane window stickers
Turn your windows into fully covered surfaces that show off your products or services. Though opaque window signage prevents people from seeing into your building, it allows you to showcase a message of your choice, and to do so in a visually noteworthy manner.
If privacy is a main concern then it might be worthwhile to look into opaque signage to provide privacy film treatments for windows. Whereas other types of window stickers can work in conjunction with window displays – e.g. mannequins in a clothing store – full pane window decals effectively replace interior displays. Here are some examples of fully covered, opaque window signs.
The benefits of window signs
The great thing about window signs is that they take up virtually no space and can be used for almost any type of building. For example, if you have a business that’s part of a strip mall, or is situated on a lot that ends at your front door, you may not have anywhere to put a pylon or hanging blade sign. Depending on sidewalk space, even an awning might be intrusive. But window decals require no space at all; just a pane of glass.
Another benefit of window decals is that they can be customized to display virtually anything you want. Whether it’s detailed images covering a whole window or a small logo that leaves a clear line of sight to the interior of the building, you can treat your windows as a blank canvas on which to project your brand.
Window signs are also easy to change and replace compared to other outdoor signs. Whereas changing the main sign on your storefront, or getting rid of a pylon sign that’s cemented to your lot can be expensive and time-consuming, swapping custom window decals in and out is a breeze.

How is Window Film Applied?
Window film is printed on durable vinyl and clings to a window or glass door. We will measure your commercial windows and precision cut each window film so that it fits perfectly without gaps or imperfections. All of our window film products are applied by expert technicians with years of experience in the signage industry. We’re proud of our defect-free window film in Southwestern Ontario.
Unlike some of the DIY window film that you can purchase from suppliers online, ours are designed specifically for your windows. This means that any imperfections with the geometry of your windows will be accounted for. There’s no need to cut off pieces of the film and you won’t have problems with graphics or text not orienting correctly.
Window film can cover the entire window, turning all of your storefront space into a vibrant advertisement. If you only need to cover parts of the windows or want to be able to apply images and text as needed, you can use our vinyl window decals instead.
How do Window Decals Differ from Window Film?
Window decals and window signs are made from the same materials as window film, but they don’t cover the entire window.
Decals are ideal for logos, important information like opening hours and contact details, or seasonal promotional graphics and messaging.
The Unique Benefits of Frosted Window Film
Many businesses today choose frosted window film to add privacy and some technical benefits. Frosted window film can turn your clear commercial windows into reliable privacy glass. Your lobby or reception area will be obscured from the sidewalk and roadside.
This type of film is popular for medical practices, dental clinics, testing and laboratory centres, and other businesses where privacy is needed. Law and accounting practices can also make use of frosted window film to protect the privacy of their clients. If you want to limit outside visibility for any reason, frosted window film is the ideal solution.
A frosted film can also keep your premises more comfortable. Sun-facing windows that receive hours of exposure during the day can cause temperature fluctuations and even discolouration to upholstery and flooring. Frosted window film can increase the thermal efficiency of your commercial site while blocking direct sunlight.
Window Frosting Can Be Combined with Printed Window Film
You can combine window frosting on glass doors and windows with our full–colour graphic window film prints. This will give you the best of both worlds by adding privacy while also allowing you to promote your business. Window frosting can be combined with graphic prints and text on the same window, depending on your needs.
Window frosting can simulate the look of etched glass. Your text and logo can be worked right into the frosting as clear sections of glass.
We offer unlimited flexibility with our window frosting, window film, and window decals. Choose the solutions that work best for your business and we’ll incorporate them into a cohesive storefront design that gets you noticed, or keeps eyes away, depending on your needs.
Window frosting is affordable and is the most efficient way to add privacy to your business without investing in expensive privacy glass

Who uses window signs?
Window signs are often used by businesses for whom visual aids are important. For example, dentists, barbers, beauty salons, restaurants, car dealerships, lawyers, grocery stores, orthotics, spas, yoga studios and gyms – any business that would rather show than tell – often rely on window decals.
This is especially true for businesses with limited space for on-site advertising because window stickers are great for when you need to do a lot with just a little space.
