Shorter term options - exterior window film (real estate FOR LEASE type film)

[BetaCtz]

Checking-in to see what the preferred film is for something like this
"commercial FOR LEASE" type signage

- 6 - 12 month on glass
- location: Western Canada, so we're seeing freezing temps - needs to be something I can install just above freezing when it warms for a day or two.
- ideally easy to install tiled panels (in cooler weather)
- ideally easy-ish to remove at 12 month mark
- ideally - cheap

I was thinking unlaminated IJ40c, but I know there's going to be thicker materials up around the 3-4mil thickness that will help aid the install.

I'm fairly familiar with films, but I know there's shops whom print oodles of this stuff and know the way to go.
Thanks in advance.

For cold weather installs, we like the removable films from drytac, they are rated for install down to -20c i did a storefront 2 years ago and it was -12c the vinyl worked well, my fingers on the other hand...

Cold weather aside - what would you normally install this with on a good day?

Honestly, even in good weather the drytac is a solid choice, whatever you use, get something with a clear adhesive, I think a tinted grey adhesive on the inside of the window looks horrible.

This is a good product, good for cold weather, and it's 6 mil thick, so no laminate needed if it's short term

Good Day! We're in lower BC Canada and we use Briteline White removable. Grimco should be able to help with that. We find it goes up easy and rips off down in 1 pull. Long as it's above freezing.
