Overview of How to Vinyl Wrap Your Window Trim for a Stylish Home Exterior

Question

Accepted Answer

Whether you want to completely vinyl wrap your home’s window trim or just want to give it a unique, stylish look with a bit of creative flair, here is an overview of how to easily accomplish both!

The most important thing before beginning is proper preparation. First, thoroughly clean the surface where you will be applying the vinyl wrap. This can be done by using water, soap and a cleaning cloth. Make sure all dirt, dust and debris are removed prior to continuing. Next, you’ll need to make sure the surface is dry in order for the adhesive material to adhere properly. If you are applying the wrap on a hot day, go ahead and use some fans or hair dryers directed at the area you plan on wrapping so that it’s totally dry before moving forward.

Now it’s time to begin applying your vinyl wrap! Unroll your adhesive material starting from an corner and trim it as needed with scissors or an X-ACTO knife – depending on how intricate your work is going to be. To ensure evenness across multiple trimmed pieces of adhesive material for longer lengths of window trim, use something like drafting tape along perimeter lines as a guideline for exact cutting then peel off once material has been cut accordingly.

Once everything has been trimmed properly and visually aligned against each other for more intricate designs (if applicable) remove any protective coating from backside of adhesive material allowing adhesion side to contact visible substrate: window trim surface/siding piece etc… Firmly press/smooth out all air bubbles with damp cloth – if necessary add even pressure while gently rubbing out bubbles (this will help avoid having pockets between wraps). When dealing with outside corners the last step involves using angular shears which gives clean separation between corner edges -helping create professional looking exterior displays around windows/window frame edges etc…

After all that hard work now comes probably best part – peeling away bottom backing after application complete! Peel away slowly making sure no portions previously adhered lift up during process; this should leave only top discolored protection layer still intact defending against ultra violet rays & other outdoor weathering situations that may occur over time damaging original coloring applied during installation process . With that being said enjoy your new stylish home exterior look delivered giving much more pleasant street curb appeal experiences anyone walking-by your place might experience!”
