Fall Season

mn winter_040Winter Blues?


Looks as though winter has arrived in Minnesota.  As cold weather sets in, we tend to stay indoors in the warmth of our homes,  some individuals  may venture out in the cold to do a little ice fishing but, this is also a great time to think about those projects you would like to plan for the Spring/Summer.  If this winter you decide to go to one of the state area Home and Garden shows, make sure you stop and in and see what G & J Awning and Canvas can assist you with in your upcoming projects.

Pressure sensitive graphics provide a wide variety of uses. They can be adhered to Windows, Vehicles, Backlit awnings, Sunbrella awnings (using SGS System), Banners and much more.

In many applications a high performance opaque pressure sensitive adhesive will be used but for Backlit awnings G & J Awning will use a high performance Translucent Pressure sensitive adhesive allowing the vibrant colors to illuminate at night.

Pressure sensitive graphics can be used in a combination with other graphic processes such as eradication and welded graphics to add additional colors to your project.

The process of using Pressure sensitive graphics first involves the use of computer software and a friction feed plotter (artwork must be in a vector format). The Graphic is cut into the pressure sensitive vinyl that will be weeded out leaving only what is to be adhered to the awning.

Next the graphic will be masked to provide stability while placing the graphic onto the base material. Once placement has been secured pressure is applied to the graphic allowing the pressure sensitive vinyl to adhere to the material. The more pressure that is applied the tighter the bond.
