Perforated window vinyl (window perf) is the product that lets you brand a storefront window without blocking interior visibility or natural light. The 70/30 pattern means 70% of the surface is printed — passersby outside see your full graphic continuously — while the 30% open perforation lets people inside see out clearly. Window perf starts at $8/sqft (minimum $40) and is printed on our in-house Roland UV printer at 216 33rd St W, Saskatoon.
Common uses across Saskatoon: restaurant and café windows with seasonal menu graphics, fitness studio glass walls, retail franchise storefronts, vehicle rear windows for fleet branding, and election campaign vehicles. Window perf applies to smooth exterior glass — avoid applying over tinted film or frosted glass. For multi-panel installs across wide windows, we recommend professional application ($75 base rate) for clean seam alignment. Single panels are straightforward to self-apply on flat glass. For interior-only glass signage or smaller decorative graphics, our adhesive vinyl window decals (from $11/sqft) are the better choice.
All window perf is custom-sized to your exact window dimensions — no standard sizes to conform to. Standard turnaround is 1–3 business days. Same-day production available for a +$40 flat rush fee when ordered before 10 AM. Our in-house designer can set up your artwork for $35 flat with a same-day proof. For wall and interior branding beyond glass, see our wall graphics page.

Frequently asked
How much does perforated window vinyl cost in Saskatoon?
Window perf starts at $8/sqft with a $40 minimum order. A 24×48" (8 sqft) panel is $64. A full 36×72" storefront panel (18 sqft) is around $126. Pricing scales by square footage — use the estimator at /products/window-perf for exact pricing on your dimensions.
Can people see through window perf from outside?
No — from outside, people see a solid full-colour graphic. The perforated holes are too small to register at normal viewing distance. From inside, you can see out clearly through the 30% open area. The effect depends on lighting: in daylight, exterior is opaque and interior is see-through. At night with interior lights on, the effect reverses.
What is the difference between window perf and a regular window decal?
A standard adhesive window decal is fully opaque — you can't see through it at all. Perforated vinyl (window perf) has a micro-hole pattern that lets you see out from inside while displaying a full graphic to people outside. Window decals start at $11/sqft; perf starts at $8/sqft. Choose perf when interior visibility matters — retail floors, restaurants, showrooms.
Does window perf work on all glass?
Window perf works best on smooth, clean exterior glass. Avoid applying over existing tinted film, frosted glass, or textured glass — the adhesive won't bond evenly and the perf pattern won't lay flat. For vehicle rear windows, confirm the glass is flat (some curved rear windows require a professional installer).
How long does window perf last outdoors in Saskatchewan?
We print window perf with Roland UV outdoor inks on 6 mil Vision Perf material rated for 2–3 years of outdoor exposure in Saskatchewan conditions. UV degradation and extreme temperature cycling (-40°C winters) are the main factors. Most seasonal or campaign graphics are removed before the end of their rated life.
Can you install window perf?
We supply the window perf pre-masked for application. Self-application on a flat, single-panel window is straightforward — we include instructions. For multi-panel installs across wide windows or irregular window arrangements, we recommend professional installation at $75 base rate to ensure clean seam alignment.
