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 Hyde?

  • Ground-floor offices facing a Hyde pavement get daytime privacy from the print, while staff can still see out.
  • With a bus stop outside a Hyde shop, people waiting at the kerb have time to take in a window image.
  • Salons in Hyde can show bold imagery to passers-by in daylight without clients feeling on display in the chair.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Hyde

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 Hyde and Greater Manchester

We cover Hyde and every other part of Greater Manchester as part of a UK-wide service. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a visit to measure and photograph the site; for many graphics and vehicle jobs, clear photos and measurements are enough to quote from. In postcode terms, Hyde jobs typically fall in SK14, SK16, M34 and SK15. Roughly 6.8 miles separate Hyde from Manchester, which lies to the west.

One-way vision film in Hyde: questions

Is there a typical lead time for one-way vision film in Hyde?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

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 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 price of one-way vision film for a business in Hyde?

Guide pricing runs from £32 to £62 per m², plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

Is Hyde inside your coverage area for one-way vision film?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Hyde and every part of Greater Manchester 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.

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.
