Glass manifestation is marking such as dots, bands, logos or frosted strips applied to glass doors, screens and partitions so people can see the glass and don't walk into it.
Why choose glass manifestation in Angus and Dundee?
- Where a Dundee building has a glazed stairwell or atrium, access to every pane is planned at the survey.
- Restaurants in Dundee with glass screens between tables can use subtle frosted patterns that mark the glass without blocking views.
- Shops with frameless glass entrances in Dundee can turn the marking into branding, repeating the logo in both zones.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Angus and Dundee
Two questions, two sets of rules. On whether window graphics count as advertising, Scottish councils take differing approaches; internal graphics are often outside control or allowed, but large graphics on listed shopfronts or in conservation areas can be restricted. On safety, glazing that could be walked into must be marked, which Scotland's own building guidance addresses and which the Workplace Regulations 1992 (regulation 14) require at work where necessary. We check with the council when the building or street calls for it, and set the marking heights out on the proof for glass manifestation.
