Description
Perforated Window Film Without the Adhesive — for Inside-Glass Applications Where Standard Film Cannot Go
Standard perforated window film is engineered to be applied to the outside surface of glass with pressure-sensitive adhesive. That works perfectly for vehicle windows, ground-floor storefronts, and any window an installer can physically reach from the exterior. It does not work for multi-storey building windows without scaffold or lift access, for leased commercial spaces where adhesive installation is prohibited, or for any application where the customer needs to swap the graphic seasonally without dealing with adhesive residue. The Non-Adhesive Perforated Window Film solves these constraints by removing the adhesive layer entirely — same 70/30 perforation pattern, same one-way vision function, but designed for inside-glass installation with separately-supplied adhesive strips, magnetic clips, or repositionable mounting solutions.
At Graphics Decal HQ we print Custom Non-Adhesive Perforated Window Film in Winnipeg on the same premium 70/30 perforated vinyl substrate as our standard Perforated Window Film — just without the pressure-sensitive adhesive backing. Full-colour UV-resistant digital printing, custom-cut to your window dimensions, with the same one-way vision function: full graphic from outside, clear view through the perforations from inside.
Important note: this film does not have built-in adhesive. Permanent installation requires an adhesive strip purchased separately. For temporary inside-window display, the film can be held with low-tack tape, magnetic clips, or repositionable mounting strips. Whether you are a Winnipeg property manager installing branding on hard-to-reach upper-storey windows, a Manitoba retailer running short-term campaigns that need easy removal, a Canadian leased-space tenant prohibited from using adhesive on landlord glass, or an event organizer producing inside-window signage for short-term venue branding, the non-adhesive variant gives you perforated window film where the standard adhesive version is not viable.

Graphics Decal HQ is Winnipeg's locally operated window film and signage manufacturer — operated from our facility at 2095 Logan Avenue and trusted by Manitoba property managers, commercial buildings, retail brands, and leased-space tenants for specialty window film applications where standard adhesive products do not fit.
Non-adhesive perforated window film is a specialty product. It solves real problems that come up regularly in commercial signage: multi-storey buildings without scaffold access for outside installation, leased spaces with adhesive prohibitions in the lease agreement, and seasonal swap-outs where adhesive removal is impractical or damages the glass underneath. Our team has installed this product across Winnipeg commercial buildings and we know the mounting methods that actually work for each application type.
Important customer note: this product does not include adhesive. Permanent installation requires separate purchase of adhesive strips, which we sell as an add-on. For short-term and repositionable installations, low-tack mounting tape or magnetic clips (for metal-framed windows) provide good results without adhesive. We will recommend the right mounting method based on your specific window type, install duration, and removal requirements during consultation.
Our digital print equipment delivers calibrated UV-resistant inks with high-resolution detail, so your perforated film looks exactly as sharp on year three as on day one. Most clients order this film alongside coordinated inside-window signage programs, and we coordinate multi-panel layouts to minimize visible seams across larger window installations.
We offer local pickup at 2095 Logan Avenue, Winnipeg MB, ready in 4 to 6 business days, as well as Canada-wide shipping for businesses ordering from across Manitoba and beyond.
For standard adhesive-backed perforated window film (the more common option for vehicle windows, ground-floor storefronts, and outside-accessible windows), see our Perforated Window Film. For static-cling vinyl decals that adhere without adhesive on smaller window applications, see our Custom Window Clings. For frosted privacy window film, see our Privacy Window Film. For one-way mirror reflective film, see our Mirror Window Film. For commercial vehicle wraps, see our Custom Fleet Wrap. For the full range of window film products, visit our Window Film category.
