Window Decals & Graphics
1 Stop Signs Creates One-of-a-Kind Window Graphics for Business
If you own a business with a storefront, never underestimate the power of window decals to help tell your story and grab the attention of passers-by. Window decals are made using vinyl sheets with sturdy adhesive backings. They can be attached to any glass surface, making them ideal for storefronts, vehicles, and offices of all types. Although their adhesive can withstand the elements to make them a permanent option, they’re also removable for temporary or seasonal advertisements. 1 Stop Signs specializes in custom window decals businesses in Chandler, Phoenix, and beyond. If you’d like a free estimate, we would be happy to discuss the details with you in greater detail. Call us today!
The Benefits of Custom Window Decals for Your Business
Increased visibility and brand awareness are the biggest benefits of using custom window signs. Optimizing your window space is crucial, whether your business is located inside a strip mall or on a downtown street. It makes an excellent advertising platform for upcoming sales or special events and gives passers-by a teaser of what you have to offer to entice them to pay you a visit. Even when your business isn’t open, having your contact info or business hours posted on your window or door alerts potential customers where they can look online to view your products or services in the meantime.
Every business benefits from expanding its audience, and custom window graphics can help you accomplish this with minimal cost or effort. Vehicle graphics are even more advantageous to your advertising, as people are always on the go. If you have company or delivery vehicles out on the roads, why not turn them into moving billboards advertising your name, logo, and contact info?
Types of Window Decals for Business We Offer at 1 Stop Signs
1 Stop Signs can help you customize vinyl window decals for your business in any shape, size, or design. Window decals are ideal for interior or exterior glass surfaces, with the only difference being which side of the decal has the adhesive layer. Inside decals are printed backward since the adhesive needs to be applied to their front. Putting your decal on the inside of your storefront provides additional protection from the elements so that you won’t have to replace it as often. Whether you want interior or exterior window decals, you have many options to choose from, including the following:
If you want full window decals to cover your window’s entire surface, we recommend window wraps. Window wraps can be cut to fit your window’s exact dimensions and come in perforated, opaque, and transparent options depending on whether you want to be able to see through them. We can add graphics or text in any color. Frosted vinyl decals make a decorative privacy barrier, while opaque decals can block out the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Our team would be happy to help you create an entire mural with contrasting colors on your windows. Want custom-lighted window signs for your storefront? Just ask!
You may like the idea of putting window decals on your storefront, but maybe you don’t want to cover your entire window space. Die-cut decals give you the option of placing your business logo or a specific artistic design on your window to make it stand out. A halo cut can create a faint border around your design for a professional, eye-catching graphic.
Many businesses go beyond the mere addition of a decal logo to include vinyl lettering on their storefront or glass door. Vinyl lettering allows you to list your business hours, name, and even your contact information (address, phone, website, and social media links) for customers passing by. We can help you create clear, easy-to-read vinyl lettering with customizable fonts and spacing.

Frequently Asked Questions About Vinyl Signs
When planning a new window decal for your business, you’ll probably have a few questions before committing. How long will they last? Are they difficult to install? And what happens when you’re ready for a new look? Here are answers to some of the most frequently asked questions about vinyl signs.
How Long Do They Last?
Our outdoor window graphics generally last between three and five years in the Phoenix, AZ, sun. If you use them indoors, window decals and static clings are protected from the elements and can last up to ten years. Perforated window graphics typically last around two years before the desert heat begins to weather the material.
Can These Be Die Cut into Various Shapes?
Absolutely! We love getting creative with vinyl signs. We can shape your graphics to match your exact logo, custom lettering, or unique artwork. When designing your signs, you will usually hear about two popular options:
- Die-Cut / Kiss-Cut: We cut out your exact shape or letters, making them look like a seamless part of your window.
- Halo Cut: We leave a thin, clean border all the way around your design, which gives it a really professional, standout look against the glass.
How Are Window Graphics Installed?
Professional sign installers use two primary application methods depending on the material:
- The Wet Method: We spray a specialized liquid onto the glass and adhesive backing. This allows them to slide the graphic into place and squeegee out bubbles and wrinkles before it bonds.
- The Dry Method: Used mostly for perforated vinyl. The material is applied directly to dry glass because the built-in micro-holes naturally let trapped air escape.
How to Take Care of a Window Graphic?
Maintaining your window graphics requires very little upkeep. Follow these simple rules to protect your investment:
- Clean by Hand: Gently wipe the graphic using a soft microfiber cloth or non-abrasive sponge.
- Use Mild Soap: Clean with a simple mixture of warm water and gentle dish soap.
- Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Never use ammonia, acetone, or solvent-based glass cleaners, which dissolve the adhesive and ruin the UV coating.
- No Pressure Washers: High-pressure water can lift the edges and tear the vinyl.
How Are Window Graphics Removed?
To safely remove window graphics without damaging the storefront glass, we avoid using heat guns, which can cause the glass to crack or shatter. Instead, our crew uses special tools to score the vinyl into small sections and peel them away at a sharp angle. Any remaining sticky residue is cleared away using a mild, glass-safe solvent and a plastic scraper.
Can Window Graphics Block Heat and UV Rays?
Yes, certain types of vinyl signs act as effective sunshades. Solar-control films and perforated window graphics can block up to 70% of solar heat and filter harmful UV rays.
Can People See Through the Graphics from Inside?
This depends entirely on the material you choose:
- Perforated Vinyl: Allows a clear view out from the inside while showing a full, vibrant advertisement to people on the outside.
- Solid Vinyl / Blockout: Completely opaque from both sides, providing total privacy and blocking all light.
- Translucent Vinyl: Diffuses light, allowing illumination to pass through while obscuring clear visibility.
