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.

The case for one-way vision film in Stevenage

Rules for window and glass graphics in Stevenage

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 Stevenage: questions

How long does it take to get one-way vision film in Stevenage?

It typically takes a few weeks from first enquiry, with much of that time falling after you approve the proof, while the work is made and scheduled. Graphics and vehicle jobs are typically shorter than fabricated or illuminated signs. If advertisement consent is needed, the council's decision comes first and adds to the overall timescale.

Why is there a price range for one-way vision film rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £32 to £62 per m² + VAT spans small, simple work at one end and larger, more involved work at the other. Size, material, finish, access, design time and any consent drawings push the figure up or down. A survey or artwork check lets us fix the price for your job in Stevenage.

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.

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.
