Window graphics: measure each pane before choosing the film

Three different goals
A frosted effect, a printed shop advertisement and a transparent logo are different briefs. Describe what should remain visible from each side, whether you want decoration or privacy, and how much clear glass you wish to retain. Do not choose purely from a small product picture.

Make a pane map
Number each glass pane and record its usable width and height in the same unit. Photograph the entire window, then each pane. Mark frames, handles, hinges, existing film and any areas that must remain clear. Specify whether installation is planned inside or outside and identify the glass type if known.

Perforated graphics need context
Perforated film contains holes that preserve some view through the graphic. The effect is influenced by the lighting on both sides. Discuss the actual setting rather than treating the product name as a promise of privacy in every condition. Adhesion and any protective laminate must suit the selected film and glass.

Plan the artwork at real scale
Keep critical words away from frames and joints. If a design spans several panes, allow for the physical gaps so a face, logo or phone number is not split awkwardly. For cut frosting, identify which shapes are film and which remain clear; a reversed interpretation can change the entire result.

Confirm the scope
Ask whether the quote is for raw film, finished graphics or graphics with installation. Access, removal of old film and surface preparation are separate questions to resolve. Before production, approve the pane map, artwork orientation, film specification and current quotation.
