#1 Graphic Design and Installation in Dallas-Fort Worth
A window wrap covers the glass completely, edge to edge and mullion to mullion. Rather than a logo floating in the middle of a large empty pane, the whole frontage becomes one designed surface.
The visual difference is significant. A wrapped frontage reads as a considered piece of retail design. A logo in the middle of a big window reads as a tenant who moved in and put a sticker up. Part of the iCandy Grafix storefront graphics service.
Gyms and fitness studios, where members are often self-conscious about being watched from the pavement. Escape rooms and entertainment venues, where the interior is the product and should not be given away. Storage and industrial frontages. Bars and late-night venues.
This is one of our most requested window wrap jobs and one of the most effective. A construction site behind papered-over glass generates nothing. The same site behind a full-colour “opening soon” wrap with the brand, the date, and a QR code generates a waiting list before the doors open. If you are fitting out a unit in McKinney or Frisco, this is the highest-return signage spend available to you during the build.
Back-of-house areas, stock rooms, or a frontage where the visible interior is a partition wall rather than a shop floor.
There are two ways to build a window wrap, and the choice affects both cost and the feel of the space.
Fully opaque gives the richest colour, the strongest visual impact, and complete privacy. It also blocks all daylight through the wrapped panes, which, for a small unit with no other glazing, means running artificial light all day.
Perforated across the whole frontage keeps the interior view and roughly half the daylight while still covering every inch of glass. Colour is slightly less saturated up close.
Most of our clients end up mixing the two: opaque on the lower panels, columns, and transom glass where nobody needs to see through, and perforated across the main viewing pane at eye level. That combination gets the coverage without turning the shop into a box.
Full window wraps frequently exceed the coverage limits in shopping centre leases and city sign ordinances, which commonly sit between 25 and 50 percent. Both can apply simultaneously, and the stricter one governs.
Get written approval before ordering. If your cap turns out to be 50 percent, iCandy Grafix will design a layout that delivers the visual impact within that limit, which is usually achievable with a strong band-based design rather than full coverage.
Storefronts are almost never a single sheet of glass. They are three, five, or seven panes separated by aluminium mullions, sometimes with a horizontal transom bar as well.
If the artwork is designed as one flat rectangle and then cut to fit, faces get sliced, words get chopped in half, and the design ends up with a break running through exactly the wrong place. We have been asked to fix this on jobs installed by others more than once, and the fix is a reprint.
Our process: we measure every pane individually rather than working from a photo, we build the layout with the mullion positions in place, and we place the design breaks deliberately so they land in quiet areas of the artwork. What you approve at the proof stage is what goes on the glass.
A full storefront window wrap typically costs $600 to $2,500, depending on total glass area, material, and whether perforated or opaque film is used. iCandy Grafix quotes from individually measured pane sizes rather than an estimate, and the price includes design, panel planning, and professional installation.
Technically yes. Whether you are permitted to depends on your lease and your city’s sign ordinance, which often caps window coverage between 25 and 50 percent. Confirm in writing before ordering, and iCandy Grafix will design to whatever coverage limit applies to your location.
A fully opaque wrap blocks daylight completely through the wrapped panes, so it is normally used on secondary panels rather than an entire frontage. Perforated film reduces daylight by roughly half while keeping the view out, which is the usual choice where the space needs natural light.
A full-frontage window wrap on multi-pane glass typically takes a full day. Smaller wraps covering two or three panes are usually done in the morning. iCandy Grafix schedules around your trading hours and can work early mornings or after close.
Yes. Window vinyl removes from glass with gentle heat and a plastic blade, leaving adhesive residue that cleans off with the correct solvent. This matters in leased premises, and iCandy Grafix offers removal as a separate service.
