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.

Why choose one-way vision film for a business in Kempston?

  • Cafés with big front windows in Kempston can carry a full-colour image outside while customers still watch the street.
  • Trades vans parked at jobs around Kempston turn the rear window into advertising, with the driver using two exterior mirrors.
  • Ground-floor offices facing a Kempston pavement get daytime privacy from the print, while staff can still see out.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Kempston

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.

One-way vision film in Kempston: questions

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.

Does the price of one-way vision film in Kempston include VAT?

No. Our guide range of £32–£62 per m² excludes VAT, which is added to the quote. The final figure depends on size, materials, access, removal of existing signage or graphics and the artwork needed, and we confirm it in writing after a survey or once we have checked your files.

Do you work across Bedfordshire or only in Kempston?

Across all of Bedfordshire, and the rest of the UK too. Kempston is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can people see in through one-way vision?

In daylight, not easily: people outside see the print while you see out. After dark, with lights on inside, the film becomes see-through from the street and the image fades. For evening privacy, add blinds or use solid graphics in that area.

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.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on one-way vision film happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Kempston once materials are ordered.
