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.

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.

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.

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 Horley.

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

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

What can delay one-way vision film in Horley?

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.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Horley

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.
