When You Want It Applied Properly
You've bought window stickers for your business, security warnings, or decorative decals but you want them applied straight and bubble-free, not wonky with air pockets everywhere.
💡 Pro tip: The trick with window stickers is cleaning the glass properly first and working out air bubbles as you apply. Rush it and you'll be peeling it off to start again.
Why DIY Often Goes Wrong
| ✅ Done Right | ❌ DIY Disaster |
|---|---|
| Perfectly level | Obviously wonky |
| No air bubbles | Bubbles everywhere |
| Clean edges | Wrinkled or creased |
| Professional look | Looks amateur |
Window stickers seem easy but are surprisingly fiddly. Get them wrong and they look terrible, especially large decals.

What to Expect
Step 1: Clean The Glass
Remove any dirt, grease, or old adhesive. Glass needs to be spotless or sticker won't stick properly.
Step 2: Position Carefully
Measure from edges to get it level and centred. Mark position lightly with tape if it's a big one.
Step 3: Apply Smoothly
Peel backing, position sticker, smooth from centre outwards to push out air bubbles. Trim excess if needed.
🔧 DIY Tips
Want to have a go yourself? Here's the method:
🔧 What you'll need
- Window stickers/decals
- Glass cleaner and cloth
- Credit card or squeegee
- Tape measure and pencil
- Masking tape (for positioning)
🧼 Preparation:
- Clean glass thoroughly with glass cleaner
- Dry completely - any moisture causes bubbles
- Measure where sticker will go
- Mark top edge lightly with tape as guide
📐 Application technique:
- Peel small corner of backing
- Position sticker using your tape marks
- Gradually peel more backing while smoothing sticker down
- Use credit card to push out air bubbles as you go
- Work from centre outwards
- Peel off application tape if it has one
For large decals:
- Spray glass with soapy water (gives you positioning time)
- Apply sticker
- Squeegee out water and bubbles from centre outwards
- Wipe excess water from edges
⚠️ Common DIY mistakes
- Not cleaning glass properly (sticker doesn't stick)
- Touching adhesive side with fingers (oils stop it sticking)
- Rushing application (air bubbles everywhere)
- Not measuring (ends up wonky)
- Applying when glass is too cold (doesn't adhere)
💡 Pro trick: For multiple small stickers that need spacing evenly, stick masking tape horizontally across window first. Position stickers along the tape as a guide, then remove tape once they're all applied. Keeps them dead straight.
Rather leave it to a pro? No problem - that's what I'm here for. Give me a call.
Good to Know
🎨 Removing old stickers: Razor blade scraper works well on glass. Warm them with hairdryer first to soften adhesive. Meths or white spirit removes sticky residue.
Permanent vs removable: Some vinyl is meant to be permanent, some removes cleanly. Check before buying if you might want to change it later.
Frosted privacy film: Larger sheets need wet application (soapy water spray) to position properly. Definitely worth getting help with big sheets.
Business windows: If you've got a shop front with multiple decals to apply, do them all in one visit. Much more efficient than separate trips for each sign.
Frequently Asked Questions
What kind of window stickers can you apply?
Security alarm stickers, business hours signs, decorative decals, privacy film, basically anything adhesive that goes on glass. As long as you've bought the stickers, I'll apply them neatly.
Can you remove old stickers that won't come off?
Yes - I'll scrape them off carefully without scratching the glass, remove residue, and apply new ones if needed. Old security company stickers are common culprits.
Do the stickers need to go on the inside or outside?
Usually inside (protected from weather), but some security stickers work better outside. I'll advise based on what you've got and what looks best.
Will it be perfectly straight?
Yes - I'll use a level and measure from edges to get it bang-on. Nothing worse than a wonky 'Open' sign on a shop door.
Can you apply big decals or just small stickers?
Either - small alarm stickers, medium business hours signs, or large window graphics. Bigger ones need more care to avoid bubbles but I've got the technique sorted.
