Step 3: Apply the logo decal Step 4: Apply the lettering decal

Remove the thick protective backing

There is protective paper backing on each side of the decal. One is a thin, sem

i-translucent layer. The other is a thick, w

hite paper.

Carefully and slowly, rem

ove this thick white paper.

If part of the decal sticks to the thick paper as you peel it off, use your finger to anchor the decal in place w

hile you continue to lift the backing off. (You m

ay want to

enlist a colleague with sm

all fingers and lots of patience for this step!)

Apply decal Standing inside your building, use a couple fingers to gently and m

inimally apply the center of the decal w

ith the sem

i-translucent backing to the glass. Be sure to line up the edges of the decal (not the backing) w

ith your m

asking tape border. Do not remove the backing.

Smooth it out

Use the edge of a credit card to gently smooth the decal

73

down against the surface of the glass. Start in the m

iddle 5

of the decal, then rub slowly and gently tow

ards one side. Then go back to the m

iddle and rub towards the opposite

end. Continue in this fashion until you’ve smoothed out

the entire decal. 1

2 Check for air bubbles Go outside and look for air bubbles in the decal. If you find any, go back inside and use your credit card to sm

ooth 6

them tow

ards the edge of the decal. 8

4

Remove backing

CAREFULLY and SLOWLY, rem

ove the semi-translucent

backing. If the decal sticks to the backing as you peel it off, use your finger to anchor the decal in place w

hile you continue to lift the backing off.

Remove the thick protective backing

Carefully and slowly, rem

ove the thick white paper

backing.

If one of the letters sticks to the thick paper as you peel it off, use your finger to anchor the decal in place w

hile you continue to lift the backing off. (You m

ay want to enlist a

colleague with sm

all fingers and lots of patience for this step!)

Apply decal Standing inside your building, use a couple fingers to gently and m

inimally apply the decal w

ith the semi-translucent back-

ing to the glass directly underneath the logo. Be sure to line up the edges of the decal (not the backing) w

ith your masking

tape border. There should be about 3/8” between the bottom

of the logo and the top of the letters. Do not rem

ove the backing.

Smooth it out

5

8

4 1

Use the edge of a credit card to gently smooth the decal dow

n against the surface of the glass.

7 Start in the m

iddle of the decal, then rub slowly and gently

towards one side. Then go back to the m

iddle and rub towards the

23

6 opposite end. Continue in this fashion until you’ve sm

oothed out the entire decal.

Check for air bubbles Go outside and look for air bubbles in the decal. If you find any, go back inside and use your credit card to sm

ooth them tow

ards the edge of the decal.

Remove backing

CAREFULLY and SLOWLY, rem

ove the semi-translucent backing. If

the decal sticks to the backing as you peel it off, use your finger to anchor the decal in place w

hile you continue to lift the backing off.

Step 5: Stand back and be proud!

You’ve just identified your building as one of the most efficient in the country!
