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.
Good reasons to look at one-way vision film in Carlisle
- Ground-floor offices facing a Carlisle pavement get daytime privacy from the print, while staff can still see out.
- With a bus stop outside a Carlisle shop, people waiting at the kerb have time to take in a window image.
- A Carlisle unit with tall glazing can carry one large image across several panes, if the artwork is planned around the frames.
What one-way vision film costs in Carlisle
The figures in this table are guide prices, from £32 to £62 per m², and they exclude VAT. They are there to help you plan. A firm price follows the survey or artwork check and is agreed before any work starts.
| Item | Guide, ex VAT | Inc. VAT (20%) |
|---|---|---|
| Printed one-way vision, per m² | £32 – £62 | £38.40 – £74.40 |
| Minimum job | £225 | £270 |
Area, pane count, perforation, laminate, text inserts, access and design time move the figure. One van rear screen usually falls under the minimum, so combining jobs helps. Prices are confirmed after measuring and an artwork check.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Carlisle
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.
Covering Carlisle and Cumbria
Coverage is nationwide, which means Carlisle and the surrounding parts of Cumbria are included as standard. Anything fixed to a building normally needs someone on site to measure and check fixings and access; simpler graphics can usually be quoted from images you send. Around Carlisle, that covers postcode districts such as CA2, CA3 and CA1.
