Frosted vinyl, solar, security film, Di-Noc finishes
We install these types of specialty architectural films
FROSTED, ETCHED PRIVACY FILM
This is a big part of our business actually. Most offices need to add privacy to the glass partition walls and doors, this is where frosting comes into play. For many years instead of the actual sand blasting all sorts of decorative window films have been used to achieve the necessary results. The vinyl comes in many textures and patterns and can be additionally die-cut to create real masterpieces of architecture.
From the installation point of view this film requires a lot of skills and tremendous attention to details. It is extra thin and fragile and very demanding to the surface preparation. We are installing thousands square feet of these films ever year and know how to do it right.
SOLAR TINT FILM
We don't tint cars but we do commercial and residential tinting installation. Whether it is just a couple windows in a house or a couple floors in TD Tower, we can do it. There is probably no need to name all the benefits of having the windows tinted, from better energy efficiency to eliminating the harmful effect of the UV rays on your skin. We do both outside and inside commercial tinting depending on the product chosen for a project.
3M Di-NOC FILM
This is a very narrow segment of self-adhesive products mostly manufactured by 3M used in adding luxury look to architectural elements and furniture. Wood grain, marble, metals, decorative plastic and other effects can be achieved. Mostly it is applied at hotels, restaurants, high-end condos and reception areas.
The film is very expensive and the installation has to be done by a professional installer to achieve that perfect look and no vinyl failures along the way.
SAFETY AND SECURITY FILM
Luckily Canada is not too overwhelmed with crime but still extra security never hurts. These products will deter a criminal or a vandal from breaking in through the easiest entry point - glass windows. The thicker the film, the more difficult it will be to break the glass. At most malls and at stores located in the downtown core having safety film installed on the glass windows is absolutely necessary to prevent the smash and grab incidents. The film is very thick and it is quite difficult to install. At Toronto Sign Services we've been trained for this type of installations and we have all the specialty tools for this.
We are the experts in office glass frosting
We have been installing frosted vinyl for many years and know all the stages of the process, all the installations techniques and have propper tools for this delicate film.
We also know that different products from different manufacturers are different when it comes to installation.
3M Frosted Crystal and Dusted Crystal ahve always been at the top of the list when it comes to looks and performance. This vinyl is very thin, doesn't stretch much, creates very even frosted layer when completely dry. it is a bit tricky to install though because the adhesive dries very fast so there is not much room for error. The film can also be scratched fairly easily. Ypu should remember that these two films have permanent adhesive and would be a nightmatre to remove if needed.
Avery has Dusted Crystal vinyl that looks just as great as 3M but has removable adhesive. it is very easy to remove.
Thicker frosted films like Arlon, Mactac, Oracal are usually much cheaper but come with a set of restrictions and downsides. They normally shouldn't be used for anything other than solid privasy bands. If cut and premasked, a whole plethora of issues can happen from vinyl starting to peel to it being installed with deffects. These films also come with paper liner which can leave paper fibres on the adhesive if water gets onto it.
Specialty privacy fims like 3M Fasara, Lintec products and custom privacy film printed on optically clear vinyl like 3M IJ8150 are another amazing way to make a visual statement in any office.
We have extensive knowleage and a lot of experience with all these types of privacy film.
Frosted vinyl is very delicate and requires a lot of precision during the installation.
