Know your perforation ratio
50/50 film (half printed, half holes) gives the clearest view out and is common on vehicles. 70/30 film shows a stronger image and is used more often on storefronts.

Buying guide
Choose the right glass
Perforated film is made for rear and side windows and for shop glass. Windshields and front side windows are restricted in most states, so check local rules.
Pick artwork that reads from a distance
High-contrast scenes such as sunsets, flags, wildlife and bold logos survive the hole pattern better than fine detail or small text.
Measuring & installation
- Measure the glass, not the frame. Measure the visible glass at its widest and tallest points. On curved rear windows, measure across the curve.
- Note defroster lines and wipers. Rear-window graphics apply over defroster lines. Tell us about a rear wiper so we can plan around it.
- Clean the glass first. Wash with soapy water, rinse, and dry fully. Avoid ammonia cleaners and wax before applying.
- Apply from the top down. Peel a few inches of liner, align the top edge, and squeegee downward while slowly pulling the liner away.
FAQs
Can I see out at night?
Yes, though the view is dimmer than in daylight. Interior lights or bright outside lighting reduce visibility. Our night-visibility guide covers this.
Will it damage my window or defroster?
No. Quality perforated vinyl removes cleanly with gentle heat and does not harm defroster lines when you peel it slowly.
How long does it last?
Typically 1 to 3 years outdoors, depending on sun exposure and how often you run the rear wiper or car washes.
Can I use my own design?
Yes. Send a high-resolution image or use Design Now to create one, and we size it to your window.
