Do you cover smaller places near Bangor as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Bangor itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across County Down are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

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.

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.

Why does one-way vision blur in the rain?

Water fills the holes, blurring the view from inside, while droplets scatter the printed image. Clear laminate over the film seals the perforations, so rain runs off and the view clears once the glass dries, which is why laminate is standard for long-term use.

Does the price of one-way vision film in Bangor 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.

What can delay one-way vision film in Bangor?

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.

Rules for window and glass graphics in County Down

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.

Options worth considering
