Rules for window and glass graphics in Catford

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.

One-way vision film in Catford: questions

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.

Can people see in through one-way vision?

In daylight, not easily: people outside see the print while you see out. After dark, with lights on inside, the film becomes see-through from the street and the image fades. For evening privacy, add blinds or use solid graphics in that area.

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.

Do you cover smaller places near Catford as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Catford itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Greater London 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.

Can I get a fixed price for one-way vision film in Catford 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.

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

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.
