Perforated one-way vision film printed with coffee cups on a café window

One-way vision film is perforated self-adhesive vinyl, printed on its outer face and black behind, that shows a full-colour image to people outside while letting those inside see out through the holes.

What one-way vision film can do for businesses in Irvine

  • Salons in Irvine can show bold imagery to passers-by in daylight without clients feeling on display in the chair.
  • Trades vans parked at jobs around Irvine turn the rear window into advertising, with the driver using two exterior mirrors.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Irvine

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 one-way vision film.

Covering Irvine and Ayrshire

From the middle of Irvine to the edges of Ayrshire, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. Postcode districts around Irvine include KA12 and KA11. From Kilmarnock, Irvine is roughly 6.2 miles to the west.

One-way vision film in Irvine: questions

Can I get a fixed price for one-way vision film in Irvine before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £32 to £62 per m² excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

What image resolution does one-way vision need?

Around 100 dpi at the finished printed size is usually enough, because the perforations soften fine detail and the window is seen from a distance. Logos and text should be vector files. If an image is too small, we say so at the artwork check.

Is one-way vision allowed on a van's rear window?

Generally, yes, provided the vehicle has two exterior mirrors so the driver can see behind. The windscreen must let through at least 75 per cent of light and front side windows at least 70 per cent, so graphics never go there.

Will someone visit my premises in Irvine before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

Can one-way vision go on tinted or curved glass?

Usually, with care. Gently curved glass, such as many van and car rear screens, is fine. On factory-tinted privacy glass the film adds to the tint, so the view out can become too dark; 50/50 film and a sample check first are sensible.

What can delay one-way vision film in Irvine?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.
