Need Help Signs2Trade Window Perf

[Brian Ditty]

Has anyone ordered window perf from Signs2Trade? If so does it come laminated?

Why not just ask Signs2trade directly?

I just ordered some vinyl decals from them last week and they came laminated but it was not mentioned when I ordered them. I think they laminate all adhisve vinyls.

If the price seem unusually low then no it’s not laminated
I slightly recall they don’t laminate it.

Window perf NOT laminated? Can you imagine the fun of installing that?

I doubt your customer will be happy with all the dirt in the holes after it rains.

I have installed window perf on vehicles, haven't heard any complain about dirt in the holes though.

But it kind of makes sense.

I've never laminate window perf and it's one of the easiest material to install. Never had complain either about the dirt and I'm in Canada with real winters.

Dirty, salty roads here.

I've never bought window perf from them, but see it's not recommended for vehicles.

I've only installed window perf on entry doors and building windows, but I've never once used laminate on it since it was short term. It installed way easier than any solid vinyl, and removed great. I'd think it'd be harder to install with a laminate on it.

I’ve never laminated window perf either and I’ve had installs up over a year in Wisconsin. No issues going up or down. Laminated perf would be a pain I would think.

The issue isn’t really lam or no lam
The issue is only one type of lam can be used.
If you don’t use optically clear lam then the view through is foggy and looks bad defeating the purpose of perf.

Optically clear lam is historically expensive and a hard up sell considering so many go without lam.

Sorry I've only sold with lam. I can't imagine these customers with no lam trying to clean their windows. Most establishments(that have window graphics) have a high turn over rate, so I imagine many of these windows(with perf on them) often get cleaned with Windex by some unknowing new employee.

Have fun with that one, new employee.

That’s great if you are getting compensated for the optically clear laminate. You are using that as opposed to regular lam right?

Also you should be adding at least another 2/sqft to cover th cost of optically clear.

However, it should be clear many are telling you they have perf up for years without issue non laminated.

I do both but have no problem trusting with or without based on experience.
