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.

One-way vision film in Larne: the practical benefits

  • With a bus stop outside a Larne shop, people waiting at the kerb have time to take in a window image.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Larne

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.

One-way vision film in Larne: questions

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.

What is the price of one-way vision film for a business in Larne?

Guide pricing runs from £32 to £62 per m², plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

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.

How do I get a quote for one-way vision film in Larne?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

Can you work to an opening date in Larne?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.
