Window graphics in Hove

Smart Signs works with businesses all over the UK, and Hove is no exception. If you have window graphics on your list, we can take it from a survey or photo check through to a design drawn to scale, a fixed price and fitting by installers we contract. A single team looks after your enquiry from the first message right through to handover.

Window graphics are full-colour images or branding printed on self-adhesive vinyl and applied to glass, outside or reverse-printed for the inside, so the window works as a sign.

Good reasons to look at window graphics in Hove

  • For gyms and studios in Hove, a window graphic can screen the training floor while advertising classes and memberships.
  • If your Hove premises is in a conservation area, we check with the council first, as large window graphics can be restricted.
  • On a corner unit in Hove, glass facing two streets lets one set of graphics catch people from both directions.

What window graphics cost in Hove

We publish guide prices so you can plan before you get in touch. For window graphics the range is £28–£58 per m², not including VAT, and the final price is confirmed after we survey the site or check the artwork.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Hove

Window graphics are something councils treat in different ways. Graphics applied inside the glass are often outside advertisement control or allowed without an application, but large graphics on a listed shopfront or in a conservation area can be restricted, so we check first. Manifestation is a separate matter of safety rather than advertising: glazing that people could walk into must be made visible. In England, Approved Document K suggests marking two zones, 850–1000 mm and 1400–1600 mm above floor level, and the Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations 1992, regulation 14, require transparent surfaces to be marked where necessary for safety.

Window graphics in Hove: questions

Do you work across East Sussex or only in Hove?

Across all of East Sussex, and the rest of the UK too. Hove is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can you remove a previous tenant's graphics?

Yes. Old vinyl is warmed and peeled, and leftover adhesive is cleaned off so new graphics bond properly. Removal has a guide price of £6–£15 per m² + VAT, depending on the film's age, confirmed after survey, and can be done in the same visit.

Is there a typical lead time for window graphics in Hove?

Yes, though it varies with the job. The lead time typically runs from the day you approve the proof, not from the first enquiry, and is typically a few weeks. Survey visits, artwork changes and any consent application sit before that point, so getting photos, sizes and logo files to us early typically shortens the overall timescale.

How big can one window graphic be?

As big as the pane. Film comes on rolls, so glass wider than a roll is printed in panels and joined with a slight overlap where the design hides it. The proof shows where every join falls before anything is printed.

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.

Why is there a price range for window graphics rather than one figure?

Because jobs vary. The guide of £28 to £58 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 Hove.
