Cast vinyl is the premium, longer-life option at 7 to 10 years outdoor exposure; calendared vinyl is the economy option at 3 to 5 years. Temporary or promotional graphics use lighter-weight vinyls rated 6 to 12 months. Application is by hand for small runs and wet-application squeegee technique for large windows to avoid trapped air. Removable-adhesive vinyl is available on request for leased premises and temporary installations (source: site-2026-09). ## Related - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/billboards-banners - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/outdoor-signage/panel-signs - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/vehicle-signage - https://directory.giganticsigns.com.au/signage/indoor-signage/window-frosting-tint-films ## FAQ ### What's the difference between window graphics and window frosting? Window graphics are printed or cut vinyl designs for branding, while window frosting (films) creates privacy with translucent or opaque finishes. Gigantic Signs offers both separately. ### How long do applied graphics last outdoors? Outdoor durability varies: premium cast vinyls last 7 to 10 years, calendared vinyls 3 to 5 years, and temporary graphics 6 to 12 months depending on exposure and lamination. ### Can window graphics be seen from both sides? Standard graphics are opaque. For two-sided visibility, Gigantic Signs uses perforated one-way vision film allowing visibility from inside while displaying graphics outside. ### Will applied graphics damage paint or surfaces? No, professional-grade vinyls are designed for clean removal when properly installed and removed. Gigantic Signs uses appropriate adhesives for each surface type. ### Can banners be reused for multiple events? Yes, quality banners with proper storage can be reused many times. Gigantic Signs offers banner storage services for recurring events and campaigns. ### Can a shopfront be wrapped in window graphics while it sits vacant between tenants? Yes. Gigantic Signs applies full-coverage window vinyl to vacant Adelaide shopfronts to hide an empty space and keep a landing page or coming-soon message visible until the next online store fits out. Production follows the standard 3 to 5 business day turnaround. ### Do you supply removable vinyl for a rental property or leased premises? Yes. Gigantic Signs specifies removable-adhesive vinyls for tenanted premises so graphics come off cleanly at lease end without damaging paint or glass, a common requirement for Adelaide retail and office leases.
