bubble free vinyl – advice please
Posted by Paul Munford on 22 January 2013 at 15:35Hi All, I have a huge window to cover in black vinyl which will be stripped off after a couple of weeks and would like to use bubble free/easy appy vinyl rather than doing it wet.
Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced supplier please.ps I updated my toolbar and seem to have lost the ability to see all the trade suppliers ? it says "content to follow" ?
Cheers

Make sure to leave a little gap the whole way around your edges
(between the frame and the vinyl)
You don’t want the glass to crack.
I mean, surely the sun shines over there once in awhile.
No advice on anything else, sorry.

wow…hadn’t even considered this might cause the glass to crack. eeek.
Is this a distict possibility? anyone else experienced this… -
You certainly won’t have that problem over the next 2 weeks with the temperature as it is in the UK!
-
cant see why it would crack we have often blacked out large windows for shops and banks without any issues.
-
it can crack depending on the sun. Quite often when the sun shines partially on the glass due to a building or even a tree the stress can be too much
Stuart can explain better, there are various threads on filming glass, best to do a search

thats the great thing about this site you learn somthing new every day,
so what would you use if the client insists on no light bleed? -
Maybe one way vision film could be an alternative once printed ?
