Do you work across County Antrim or only in Belfast?

Across all of County Antrim, and the rest of the UK too. Belfast 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.

Does one-way vision keep a room cooler?

Only slightly. It gives some shade and cuts glare, but it isn't a solar control film. The black backing absorbs heat, which on large sunny panes of some glass types can add thermal stress, so we check the glass first.

When could work on one-way vision film go ahead in Belfast?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

Will the location in Belfast affect the cost of one-way vision film?

Location is one factor among several, alongside size, material, access equipment and design time. Our guide range is £32–£62 per m² + VAT; any travel, parking or access costs for your site in Belfast are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

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.

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.

One-way vision film in Belfast

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.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Belfast

Planning or safety? With glass in Northern Ireland, both can apply. Councils differ in how they view window graphics: inside-the-glass work is often outside control or allowed, but a conservation area or listed shopfront can limit large designs. Separately, large areas of glazing people might walk into must be made visible, a duty the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 place on workplaces, backed by Northern Ireland's own building guidance. Where manifestation is needed, the proof for one-way vision film shows the heights, and we check with the council where the building calls for it.
