So what are suncatcher stickers?
Suncatcher stickers are prismatic window decals that attach to glass surfaces, like windows or glass doors, and disperse sunlight into vibrant, dancing rainbows. Unlike traditional adhesives, they use static cling, so they are removable, reusable, and leave no sticky residue.
How suncatcher stickers work?
The magic of a suncatcher sticker is based on the scientific principle of light refraction.
- Direct sunlight is required: A window that receives direct sunlight at some point during the day is the ideal placement for a suncatcher sticker.
- Light dispersion: When direct sun hits the sticker's holographic or prismatic surface, the sticker acts as a prism, bending and splitting the white light into its component colors.
- Rainbows appear: This creates a dazzling spray of rainbows that move across the room as the sun travels through the sky. The intensity and movement of the rainbows depend on the sun's angle, the time of day, and the season.
Applying a suncatcher sticker is a simple process that requires a few basic steps:
- Clean the glass: Wash the window thoroughly to remove any dust or fingerprints. This is the most crucial step for ensuring a strong cling and a clean removal later.
- Moisten the surface: Spray a mist of clean water onto the glass.
- Position and smooth: The water allows you to easily slide the sticker into your desired position. Use your fingers or a credit card to smooth out any air bubbles, pushing them toward the edges.
- Remove: To remove the sticker, simply peel it away from the glass. Since there is no adhesive, it won't leave a sticky residue. Suncatcher stickers can be reused multiple times if stored properly.
