What is the typical timescale for window graphics from enquiry to fitting?

A quote typically follows once we have your photos or have surveyed the site, and making and fitting is typically booked a few weeks after you approve the proof. Where advertisement consent applies, that decision has to come through before anything goes up, which can add several weeks. We give you an expected timescale with your quote for Kilwinning.

Do we have to close for fitting?

Usually not. A single shopfront is typically fitted in a few hours once the glass is clean, and the fitter needs only a clear strip by the window. Large or high frontages take longer, and the work can usually be booked before opening or after closing.

Do you cover smaller places near Kilwinning as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Kilwinning itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Ayrshire are included too. The process does not change with the postcode. Send photos and approximate sizes, and we will tell you whether a site visit is needed before we can give you a fixed price.

What makes window graphics more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Kilwinning is £28–£58 per m² + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Can you see out through window graphics?

Not through standard printed vinyl, which is solid. For a view out, perforated one-way vision film lets people inside see the street while passers-by see your print. It works when it's brighter outside; after dark, with lights on inside, the effect reverses.

Can you match our brand colours?

Closely, in most cases. Print builds colour from a small set of inks, so some vivid oranges, greens and metallics can't be matched exactly. Send your brand colour references; for a critical colour, we can print a sample to compare first.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Kilwinning

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 window graphics.
