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.

Why choose one-way vision film for a business in Dunbar?

  • Cafés with big front windows in Dunbar can carry a full-colour image outside while customers still watch the street.
  • Letting agents marketing empty units in Dunbar can dress the glass so the frontage looks cared for and keeps its daylight.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Dunbar

Two questions, two sets of rules. On whether window graphics count as advertising, Scottish councils take differing approaches; internal graphics are often outside control or allowed, but large graphics on listed shopfronts or in conservation areas can be restricted. On safety, glazing that could be walked into must be marked, which Scotland's own building guidance addresses and which the Workplace Regulations 1992 (regulation 14) require at work where necessary. We check with the council when the building or street calls for it, and set the marking heights out on the proof for one-way vision film.

Covering Dunbar and Edinburgh and the Lothians

Coverage is nationwide, which means Dunbar and the surrounding parts of Edinburgh and the Lothians 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 Dunbar, that covers postcode districts such as EH42. Roughly 27 miles separate Dunbar from Edinburgh, which lies to the west.

One-way vision film in Dunbar: questions

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 Dunbar inside your coverage area for one-way vision film?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Dunbar and every part of Edinburgh and the Lothians are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

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

When could work on one-way vision film go ahead in Dunbar?

Fitting is typically scheduled once three things are in place: you have approved the proof, the materials are made or delivered, and any consent the job needs has been granted. For many jobs that is typically a few weeks from approval; illuminated or larger fabricated signs typically take longer, and consent decisions run to their own timetable.

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.

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.
