Wondering what sort of window dressings to choose for your home renovations? Here are five reasons to consider installing vinyl stickers:
1. Vinyl stickers are remarkably versatile.
Because vinyl stickers can be tailored to fit any home décor style, they afford you a lot of freedom when renovating your home. Vinyl stickers can be designed to complement modern, chic, classic or retro styles. Furthermore, while you can choose a ready-made design, vinyl stickers can be custom designed. This means that you can install a creative design that is completely unique to your home.
2. Glass is beautiful, but it does come with challenges.
If your renovation plans include a lot of glass surfaces, vinyl stickers can help alleviate many of the common challenges associated with glass walls, glass doors and big windows.
For instance, vinyl stickers help with temperature control by slowing the transfer of heat through glass. Irritating glare is eliminated by frosted vinyl stickers, which reduces eye strain while watching TV or working on a computer screen. Vinyl stickers are also ideal for areas where you need privacy but don’t want to completely block out natural light.
3. Vinyl stickers have the added benefit of blocking out hazardous UV rays.
This UV-blocking action not only protects you and your family from sun damage, it also protects your furnishings, carpets, wallpaper, family photos and hardwood floors. Protecting your interior from UV damage will prolong the life of your new furnishings and keep them looking new and bright for longer.
4. Vinyl stickers aren’t permanent.
Hopefully, you’re going to love the end result of your renovation efforts. However, there may come a time in the future when you decide to make a few more changes, so it’s good to know that vinyl stickers can be removed and replaced without causing any damage to your glass.
Even though they’re removable, top quality vinyl stickers are by no means flimsy; they’re designed to last a lifetime. The best suppliers offer a 10-year warranty on their product.
5. Installing vinyl stickers is hassle-free.
It’s true: renovations can be a bit of a nightmare. Depending on how extreme the renovations are, some people even opt to move out while they’re being done. If you aren’t fortunate enough to be able to stay elsewhere while you’re renovating, you’ll have to put up with a lot of noise, mess and fuss. The hassle will be worth it in the end, but we don’t blame you for wanting to make the process as easy and painless as possible.
Vinyl stickers are quick and easy to install. Your supplier’s installation team will simply clean the glass surface before expertly applying your vinyl stickers. All of this is done on-site, with minimal mess or disturbance.
Sandblasting, on the other hand, requires removing the window pane and taking it off to a factory to be treated. This is not only time-consuming and inconvenient, it’s also a safety risk as you’re left windowless until the treatment is complete.
