Rules for window and glass graphics in Larkhall

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.

One-way vision film in Larkhall: questions

What can delay one-way vision film in Larkhall?

The usual causes are artwork changes after the proof stage, waiting for consent, access arrangements such as a council licence for scaffolding on the pavement, and weather for outdoor fitting. Jobs typically run smoothly once the proof is approved and any consent is in place, but we do not promise dates that depend on things outside our control.

How do I get a quote for one-way vision film in Larkhall?

Use the quote form, phone or WhatsApp and include a few photos, rough sizes and any logo files you have. We check the details, arrange a survey where one is needed, then send a fixed written price with a design drawn to scale. The quote is free, and nothing is made until you approve it.

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.

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.

What is the price of one-way vision film for a business in Larkhall?

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.

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.
