The Sophistication of Frosted Signage

One of the objectives we have is to effectively convey the appealing qualities and attributes of the varying products that we offer. And this piece is to help you better appreciate the range of special features of frosted signage.

The translucency of the medium confers a sense of refinement.

There is an appreciable delicacy to its cut out lines. A frosted logo is imbued with fineness.

There is a purity to the presentation of a frosted sign.

If you’re looking for cleanliness – then frosted branding is your solution.

There is an overall neatness in the performance of frosted signage.

Frosted signage delivers clarity to the background.

Frosting also emphasises the precision of the cut.

And all of this is delivered through the hard work of our team in the background, creating an elegant finished product that is a thing of beauty.

And this window frosting we completed for Inlight Psychology is a perfect example.

Function and Focus: One-Way Vision Business Branding

There is so much to love about this spectacular project we installed at a gym in Silverwater, Sydney. Grand in scale, one-way vision window graphics spanning 8 metres, comprising one continuous image, covering the entire facade.

Each of the large letters of the sign are man height and can be viewed from a great distance, perfectly taking advantage of the windows and glass door of the business frontage.

A multilayered effect was achieved perfectly.

For those outsides, the graphics create the impression that the entire gym is being viewed, when, in fact, the privacy of those within is actually being protected.

For those on the inside, the one-way vision film provides them with a view of the outside world, while enjoying the discretion of not having the outside world look in upon them.

The use of a one-way vision also rewards with an energy saving effect. The window graphics ensure the internal space remains cool by blocking the sun and heat – a particularly useful benefit for a gym.

We think this project perfectly showcases the impact and function that one-way vision graphics offer. Please take advantage of our experience with one-way vision by contacting Sydney Signs Portal today.

Cruising to spectacular results: one-way vision window graphics

When the Australian Cruise Group (ACG) reached out to us, we were excited by the prospect off working on yet another spectacular project, with what is fast becoming one of our favourite products to work with: perforated one-way vision film.

This was our third signage project with ACG in a year, having previously completed a project with showboat signs, as well as another with one-way vision window graphics.

So being contacted for this latest project only reinforced the value we place on earning that call from returning clients.

And what a project this was: 17m² of perforated window film was applied to the entire span of glass at the entrance to the ACG reservation office. This one-way vision signage and graphics allow those inside to easily see out, while restricting vision from outside and providing a quite stunning large scale advertising medium.

Time and again, Sydney Signs Portal is achieving amazing results with one-way vision window graphics. Contact us today if you too would like to see what all the fuss is about, or for any of your Sydney signage needs.

9 Reasons Why you Should Consider Printing on Window Frosting for Your Business

2. A Two-sided perspective
Take advantage of being able to see a print from both sides – the result being equally impressive inside or out.

3. Natural Light
Even with a print, your space will still enjoy the luminous comfort and functionality of ample light.

Window Frosting’s light diffusing quality delivers a softer light that disperses throughout a room, gently wrapping objects and limiting the casting of harsh shadows.

Window Frosting is a cost-effective means to maintain control of the spaces in your business where peering eyes are permitted.

7. The Partition’s Friend

Macquarie University: Architectural Glass Decal Project

SYDNEY SIGNS PORTAL INSTALLS 180 METERS OF FROSTING FOR TAYLOR CONSTRUCTION GROUP.

We are happy to announce that on October 24, 2014 Sydney Signs Portal successfully completed a large-scale Glass Decal project at Macquarie University. The installation of glass frosting was ordered by Taylor Construction Group for the new premises of The Australian Institute of Health Innovation (AIHI), who recently announced their intention to relocate from the University of New South Wales to join the Faculty of Medicine at Macquarie University.

TAYLOR CONSTRUCTION GROUP CREATES NEW SPACE FOR AIHI

Taylor Construction Group is one of Australia’s largest, fastest growing construction companies, specialising in Commercial Construction, Retail Construction, Industrial Construction, Aged Care Construction, Educational & Universities, Motor Showrooms, Refurbishment & Fitout Projects. One of their latest Interior Fitout projects was the new office space for Australian Institute of Health Innovation, which occupies the entire sixth level floor of one of the Macquarie University buildings.

AMAZING GLASS DECAL PATTERN DESIGNED BY DWP|SUTERS

The new premises for AIHI – including the privacy frosted decals – were designed by dwp|suters, award winning architects and interior designers who specialise in Architecture, Interior Design, Master Planning and Urban Design, creating exceptional spaces for life, work and community. The amazing geometric pattern was designed to be cut out of a matte frosted film which is 1200 mm wide. When it was installed on the surface of glass partitions, it transformed the space with a contemporary look that was a highlight of the new premises.

DECAL INSTALLATION TURNAROUND: 7 DAYS

Frosted glass decals 1200 mm wide with a cut-out pattern were installed by Sydney Signs Portal on the glass walls of 31 offices – the entire sixth level floor in one of the Macquarie University buildings. The total length of the frosted material used was 180 linear meters. The type of the material used for the decals was dusted vinyl film – a product that helps to create a sophisticated matte effect on glass, ensures total privacy while allowing enough natural light to enter the room.

MAINTAINING HIGHEST QUALITY STANDARDS

Frosted window films are unforgiving with any mistakes made during production and installation. Even the smallest error leaves a visible defect which cannot be corrected, resulting in several meters of frosted vinyl material going to waste. This is one reason why Sydney Signs Portal is committed to maintaining the highest quality standards when performing the window film computer cut and installations. The frosted glass decal was cut with precision on our imported Japanese equipment. The next stage was to inspect and ensure that all the glass was perfectly clean, as any dust, dirt, oil, sand, paint, masking tape or any adhesive residue may affect the quality and durability of the decal. If not clean, any contamination will remain under the frosting for years and be a visible, unsightly annoyance. Once the glass was ready, Sydney Signs Portal took great care with the installation, paying extremely close attention to the finest details.

ONLY PREMIUM QUALITY MATERIALS

Sydney Signs Portal goes to great lengths to source the best quality materials for all projects. For the Macquarie University project we used Avery Dennison® MPI Dusted Glass translucent vinyl, which is a polymeric calendered window film. This simply means – one of the best. It is created to provide excellent dimensional stability (does not shrink or change its shape) and superior indoor durability – 9 years on internal glass partitions.
