Rules for window and glass graphics in Lichfield

Most businesses ask two things about glass: do I need permission, and does it need marking? On permission, councils in England take differing views on window graphics; inside-the-glass work is often outside control or allowed, while big graphics on listed shopfronts or in conservation areas can be restricted. We check before you commit. On marking, Approved Document K recommends manifestation at 850–1000 mm and 1400–1600 mm above floor level on glazing people could walk into, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 (regulation 14) cover transparent surfaces at work. Our proof shows the heights, so you can see the result before anything is cut.

One-way vision film in Lichfield: questions

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

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

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.

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.

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.

Can you handle one-way vision film for a business in Lichfield?

Yes. Smart Signs covers Lichfield and the rest of Staffordshire as part of a UK-wide service. You send photos and rough sizes, we arrange a survey if the job needs one, then you receive a proof to scale and a fixed written price. Nothing is made or fitted until you have approved both.

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.
