From £65 per pane + VAT · UK guide price

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 Surrey?

  • Shops with frameless glass entrances in Woking can turn the marking into branding, repeating the logo in both zones.
  • During a Woking fit-out, sign-off tends to go more smoothly when the glazing is already marked at the recommended heights.
  • Restaurants in Woking with glass screens between tables can use subtle frosted patterns that mark the glass without blocking views.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Surrey

Window graphics are something councils treat in different ways. Graphics applied inside the glass are often outside advertisement control or allowed without an application, but large graphics on a listed shopfront or in a conservation area can be restricted, so we check first. Manifestation is a separate matter of safety rather than advertising: glazing that people could walk into must be made visible. In England, Approved Document K suggests marking two zones, 850–1000 mm and 1400–1600 mm above floor level, and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, regulation 14, require transparent surfaces to be marked where necessary for safety.

Glass manifestation in Surrey: questions

How much should I budget for glass manifestation in Woking?

As a guide, £65–£180 per pane + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

Can our logo be used as manifestation?

Yes, if it does the job. A logo repeated across both zones, solid enough to notice and contrasting with what's behind the glass, can work. A small, faint logo in one spot usually isn't enough, so it's often paired with a band.

Do you cover smaller places near Woking as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Woking itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Surrey are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

What is the typical timescale for glass manifestation from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Woking.

What height should glass manifestation be?

England's Approved Document K suggests two zones: 850–1000 mm and 1400–1600 mm above floor level. Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland have their own building guidance with the same aim. We measure from the finished floor and set markings within those bands across each pane.

Is safety tape or a few stickers enough?

Usually not as a lasting answer. Tape and stickers are a stopgap: they peel, fade and often cover only one height or part of the width. Durable film markings running across the glass in both zones are far more likely to be noticed.
