Rules for window and glass graphics in Portadown

Councils across Northern Ireland do not all view window graphics the same way. Vinyl applied to the inside face of the glass is often outside advertisement control or permitted, although sizeable graphics on a listed shopfront or within a conservation area can face restrictions, which is why we check before printing. Making glass visible is a different issue altogether. Where people could walk into glazing it needs marking; Northern Ireland's building guidance shares that aim, and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 1993 require it at work where necessary. The heights appear on your proof.

One-way vision film in Portadown: questions

What can delay one-way vision film in Portadown?

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.

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.

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 Portadown 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.

Will the location in Portadown 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 Portadown are included in the written quote we confirm after a survey or artwork check, so you can see them before you commit.

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.
