Providing Graphic Solutions For
Extreme Temperature
Unbeknownst to most people, temperature plays a huge role in the graphics world. As we transition into the holiday season in Canada, chances are you will be warned or told about a vinyl graphic not being able to go up due to the cold weather. This is because vinyl is a sensitive material that expands and contracts according to the temperature of the surface it is applied to. Cold weather makes the vinyl brittle which prevents it from conforming and sticking to the surface. Luckily, there are a few brands out there that have engineered weather-resistant vinyls that are made for cold climate – and we carry them all.
