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.

How much does one-way vision cost?

Printed one-way vision has a guide price of £32–£62 per m², printed, laminated and fitted, excluding VAT, with a minimum job of £225 + VAT. The fixed price depends on area, number of panes and artwork, and is confirmed after measuring.

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 is the typical timescale for one-way vision film from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Buxton.

Can I get a fixed price for one-way vision film in Buxton before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £32 to £62 per m² excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

Will someone visit my premises in Buxton 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.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Buxton

Two sets of rules can touch glass graphics in England. The first is advertisement control: lettering and graphics on the inside of a shop window are often outside it or allowed, but councils differ, and conservation areas and listed shopfronts can bring restrictions on large graphics. The second is safety. Approved Document K points to manifestation bands at 850–1000 mm and 1400–1600 mm from the floor, and in workplaces regulation 14 of the 1992 Workplace Regulations requires glazing to be marked where needed. We take both into account when we set out the proof, and we check with the council where the building or street calls for it.
