Signs, Signs & More Signs!

Indoor Suites, Storefronts, and Hanging Signs – Creative, Impactful, Fantastic!

We’ve been doing some very creative and interesting work around town – designing, creating and installing signs for our clients in and around Grand Rapids, Michigan. Printing on vinyl and window film, cutting vinyl and window film – custom produced to suit each particular need. Below is cut vinyl graphics for the storefront of The Feet Suite in Grand Rapids:

The Feet Suite on Plainfield Ave. NE., Grand Rapids

Interior offices that need identification have many options. Doors, sidelights and glass walls can be filmed with privacy film that is printed with logos and suite identification – or applied cut graphics. Below is examples of the custom work we did for the Gerald R. Ford Airport:

Wave Graphic Printed on Solyx Clear Frost in the Administration Area of the Gerald R. Ford Airport
The Gerald R. Ford Airport Sign and Wave Logo Printed on 50/50 One-Way Vinyl
The Airport’s Sign and Logo is Printed and Cut out of 3M Transparent Window Film that Produces a Semi-Translucent Look on the Door of the Administrative Offices

The interior suite windows and door of King Media in Ada includes a 48″ band of frost film with “King Media” and their “K” logo cut out of the same frost film. The tone on tone layering of frost film creates a subtle elegant look to their entrance:

King Media Interior Building Suite , Ada

Blues Gym in Grand Rapids had a hand painted sign that was very old and needed a face lift. Our Graphic Designer recreated the custom images, keeping the integrity of their theme, and printed it out on vinyl to make a brand new sign for the gym:

Blues Gym Hanging Sign, Grand Rapids

Lastly, Spectrum Health Outpatient Rehabilitation Physical Therapy had us print and cut their custom graphics – as well as cut vinyl signage for their storefront in Grand Rapids. The result – picture perfect:

Five Star Window Coatings is proud to have our work on display all over West Michigan. Each job is unique, custom, and produced with the attention to detail required for the optimum result.

Window Film to Hide What’s Inside

An Effective and Economical way to Obscure and Camouflage

Van Andel Area VIP Room

The look – simply fantastic!

This custom silhouette design printed on white opaque vinyl is installed on two sets of sliding doors to hide the back of the serving space in the Van Andel VIP Room.  Each set of 5 doors has it’s own silhouette picture that is set off by the unique lighting of the space.

Window film is a great way to camouflage or hide what’s behind glass doors, windows and spaces that needs to be obscured from plain sight.  Whether it’s black-out film, decorative film, privacy frost, or a custom printed design – it’s an effective, economical way to do the job.  The result can be a great feature and a focal point of the space  – much like the VIP Room at Van Andel Area!

Adding a little EXTRA to this home.

What a Creative and Attractive Way to Cover an Attic Window!

Aslan Etched Glass Printable Window Film

Windows in unfinished areas of a residence will expose trusses, studs and storage that many would rather not be seen. Putting up a blind or roller shade can be difficult, impractical, and sometimes impossible! 5 Star has a solution for that – Window Film!

Some of the most popular film choices for attics, garages and unfinished basements is black-out or frost film. Each does a great job of hiding what doesn’t need to be seen.

Our residential client wanted to cloak and film his attic window – but also have us add a personal touch. We printed this monogram “M” on exterior frost film that has just a little shimmer to it. The result looks fantastic!

A Successful Mission to Give Back to our COVID 19 First Responders in Grand Rapids

With the gracious support of our clients we were able to donate and distribute over 500 meals!

With the help of the amazing KO Kitchen’s Chef Jilote and Villa Pizza #1, we were able to give back to a City who has always had our back since 1989. We are extremely thankful to everyone who donated, shared our posts, and got the word out to our community.

We are so proud of our Grand Rapids community and our front line workers. Five Star felt it was imperative to take action and give back to the people making such a sacrifice and difference during this COVID 19 crisis. To date we have been able to donate and distribute just over 500 meals to these local heroes.

Our city isn’t in the clear yet, we are all in this together. As our city begins to open up and adjust to the new normal that lies ahead – let’s all be mindful of those who have our back. Continue to respect social distancing and sanitizing until a scientific preventative or cure emerges.

Thank you Grand Rapids. We Love You!

One Way Window Film adds Privacy and Comfort for Health Care

There is a “Cloud of Monarchs” at Spectrum Health Pediatric Rehab!

Visiting a hospital or Physician’s Office whether you are a patient or accompanying a patient can often lead to feeling anxious. A pleasant office setting and atmosphere can really help those nerves.

Health Care Design Professionals have made it a point to take great measures to not only protect privacy – but to create a much more calming environment by adding artwork and visual interest with window film!

One Way 50/50 Printed Window Film at Spectrum Health Pediatric Rehab Offices

Printed artwork on 50/50 Perforated Vinyl Window Film can produce the one-way visual effect that many healthcare facilities are looking for. Instead of completely blocking the view from both sides with a semi-opaque privacy film such as a frosted etch, a 50/50 Perforated Vinyl gives the flexibility of one-way privacy. The bonus is that it can be printed with bright and beautiful images to warm up the space.

The above example is a One-way Perforated Film we printed and installed in the offices of Spectrum Health Pediatric Rehab. This artwork was chosen from a library of wonderful natural images by henrydomke.com.

Window Film Adds Privacy and Vibrant Color to the Gerald R. Ford Airport

Break Room Remodel is Looking Fantastic!

Printed Solyx Frost Film Adds Color Inside & Out

The Gerald R. Ford International Airport might not be overloaded with people right now – but it sure is overloaded with STYLE!

Their newly renovated break room needed some privacy and decorative flair, so we custom designed their logo image into panels and printed it on Solyx Frost Window Film. The result is some serious vibrant color that really brightens up the area inside the room & out! The look is fantastic!

This is a great example of incorporating a corporate logo successfully into space where large glass walls lack privacy – and privacy film is taken to the next level with custom printing.

Healthcare Privacy in a Glass Partition World

Check out the HUGE difference the addition of Frost Window Film makes in this space!

Frost Window Film in the Reception Area at Spectrum Health

The proof is in the pictures! This patient reception area just doesn’t look the same anymore. Privacy is a must in any healthcare setting. From waiting to examination rooms – patients need to feel a sense of comfort that their privacy is important and recognized. Frost window film does an excellent job of creating a privacy barrier between spaces.

Linen Window Film in the Reception area of Spectrum Health

Another popular choice is to go with a decorative window film which creates “distraction privacy”. This window film is subtle and typically has a decorative pattern in the film. It’s easy to use this film thematically as a design element throughout an office space. More light is transmitted through the film and gives the illusion of a privacy barrier without being as opaque or concealing.

Glass walls, partitions and even stairwell railings is a part of modern architecture, and window film is a great way to overcome privacy challenges to adapt a space that suits both the provider and the client.

Frost Window Film Hides What’s Inside

A Great Solution and a Fantastic Look!

Window film installed on the entrance to an IT room

Frost window film is a great privacy solution for corporate offices that have glass walls and doors to private conference rooms and offices. On many occasions mechanical and IT equipment can be installed in an area that is better off shrouded in privacy – hiding the equipment housed inside the room.

This IT room in an office in Rockford, Michigan had 3 large glass panels that needed to be filmed in order to camouflage it’s interior equipment. Frost Window Film was the perfect solution for the job. Decorative film comes in a variety of designs and patterns, offering subtle to complete opaque privacy.

Residential glass door kitchen cabinets

In a residential setting – glass door cabinets and pantries are popular to film in order to hide the contents inside. Window Film can create the look of etched, rain, or antique glass. There are so many options to choose from, and you will find that Decorative Film is a much more economical alternative to custom glass.

Brighten Up A Space With Printed Clear Window Film

A Little Bit of Color Goes a Long Way!

Calhoun County Juvenile Home

Working in collaboration with Custer, Inc. we custom designed a wavy-line continuous pattern and used a color scheme to liven up a very bland common area space at the Juvenile Home, located in Marshall, Michigan.

Printed on 3M Transparent Graphic Film – the design and color is equally apparent on both sides of the windows. The Matte surface finish eliminates glare and provides uniform color in reflected and transmitted light.

In this application, the customer was very pleased with the aesthetics of the film – as well as the subtle privacy the printed color bands add. A great solution resulting in a bit of decorative flair!
