Commercial windows and doors, especially on storefronts, usually have security tapes, stickers, decals and other information on the glass. In most cases these signs and decals must be removed from the glass before the window film application.  They are removed because the window film over the decal gives a raised appearance to the film.

This is especially true when applied from inside because the film hangs upside down. Although, there are also exterior film options, but it’s often applied on commercial buildings or homes, if there is no way to reach from inside.
