How to Choose Your Window Decal

Window decals are everywhere and aside from the obvious humorous side they also have some important jobs to perform as well. One reason they are so popular is because they are cheap and easy to produce in volume and are eminently suitable for both indoor and outdoor use no matter what the weather conditions.

First of all, when you are looking at ordering your window decals you should decide exactly what they are going to be used for. The reasoning is simple in that if you make sure the supplier is aware of how they will be used and the job they have to perform they can then help you avoid making silly mistakes that will cost you dear down the line. If you are using a window decal outdoors, this will affect the quality and type of adhesive that is required to make sure there is a firm fix, indoor decals don't need to have adhesive if they have a poly cling feature (you know the ones which are simply applied to the window and stick using friction).

You are not limited by design either; window decals are eminently adaptable and lend themselves to using your imagination whether it is for personal or business use. They reflect your business logo as a simple advertisement or they can carry important messaging information such as security access to an area for an employee or customer vehicle. The size is also unrestricted with window decals being capable of production using almost any size, and certainly any you are likely to need in your day-to-day operations.

Finding a supplier can be problematical as there is no shortage of companies who will quote for your business and take your order and money; the real issue is finding a partner who will actually deliver the window decals as you specify and also add to the mix when it comes to giving you helpful advice and recommendations for how to achieve the results you are looking for.

Make sure you take the time to find a supplier who is experienced in producing window decals and certainly ensure that they are doing the work themselves. Many suppliers are acting as simple order takers with the work then farmed out to third-parties which means a loss of control in the quality as well as delays and increased expense when it comes to getting the decals in your own hands.

You should be looking for a supplier with a good web site which is easy to use for your ordering and allows you to see samples of finished work produced for other customers. You also will need someone who can take you through the design and ordering process and is prepared to listen to what youhave to say and in particular what your needs are so they can bring their own experience to bear in giving you the right materials at the right price.

Typical standards for ordering, design and delivery are around 5 to 9 business days for standard window decals while the supplier should allow you a color choice from 3 to 30 colors on the decal; they also should provide you with the ability to customize the shape of your window decals too but you need to bear in mind that this may then affect the delivery times if you start heading off the standard template track. In addition to these factors, your supplier should allow you to order job runs with as few as 250 units without hammering you on the price but be careful to enquire what the re-order pricing will be too as you need to restock.

Will decorative bath treads work just as well as standard tread strips on a step stool?

I have two step stools for my little girls and for safety, wanted to add tread strips. The standard black tread strips that you find at the hardware store are so unattractive and I was wondering if bathtub treads (like flowers or something) would work just as well? These are indoor stools, mainly used in the kitchen. I have not finished them yet... would the adhesive stick better if I put them on before staining (being careful not to stain the decals) or will they do just fine adding them afterwards? Thank you!

Yes. Although the reverse may not - because the tub strips are intended to be under water and the step strips may not. 3M makes white and black tread steps that are sold by the foot at hardware stores and I have used them in a number of places for foot slippage and under things that needed a thin rubber no slip and little bumpers scraped off. I have used the tub strips the same way because they are attractive in shape and precut.
