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.

Why choose window graphics in Glasgow and Dunbartonshire?

  • Empty units in Glasgow can be dressed with printed vinyl so they look cared for while being let.
  • On a corner unit in Glasgow, glass facing two streets lets one set of graphics catch people from both directions.
  • Shoppers on a Glasgow high street decide in seconds whether to step in; a printed window tells them what you sell.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Glasgow and Dunbartonshire

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.

Other signs in Glasgow and Dunbartonshire

Window graphics in Glasgow and Dunbartonshire: questions

Can graphics go on a glass door too?

Yes, and the door is often where people look first. We keep graphics clear of the handle and push plate, laminate anything on the outside face, and leave a clear area at eye level if staff need to see who's coming in.

Do you cover smaller places near Glasgow as well?

Yes. Our coverage is not limited to Glasgow itself: nearby towns, industrial estates and business parks across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire 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.

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.

How soon after I approve the proof can the work on window graphics happen?

Typically within a few weeks, depending on what has to be made. Printed and cut graphics are typically produced sooner than fabricated letters, trays or illuminated signs, which need more fabrication time. If the job needs advertisement consent, fitting waits for the council's decision. We confirm an expected date for Glasgow once materials are ordered.

How much should I budget for window graphics in Glasgow?

As a guide, £28–£58 per m² + VAT. Where your job falls in that range depends on size, materials, access height, whether old signage has to come off and how much design work is involved. We confirm a fixed price after a survey or artwork check, before anything is ordered.

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.
