Rules for window and glass graphics in Ballymena
Councils across Northern Ireland do not all view window graphics the same way. Vinyl applied to the inside face of the glass is often outside advertisement control or permitted, although sizeable graphics on a listed shopfront or within a conservation area can face restrictions, which is why we check before printing. Making glass visible is a different issue altogether. Where people could walk into glazing it needs marking; Northern Ireland's building guidance shares that aim, and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 require it at work where necessary. The heights appear on your proof.
