  • Installing Contra Vision / Perforated Window vinyl

    Posted by Pane Talev on 14 September 2017 at 10:16

    Hello forum members.

    How do you install your Contra Vision?
    I’ve done it on few jobs now and when you look strait at it – looks great.
    But, when you look at your finished product from a side you see some kind of irregularity. There is some kind of pattern on the surface of the vinyl? (stretched / melted / 3D kind of pattern)

    • What squeegee do you use?
      Will this disappear in time?
      What can I do to avoid this happening?
      Also, some of the perforated dots are accumulating some air and look like then will blow easy from a jet wash etc.

    (material is laminated with optical clear)

    Please join me in with some comments. Thanks.

    Building or vehicle glass ?

    As Jon says, the marks will disappear.
    Felt squeegee is fine or I use foamex with loop Velcro [emoji6]
