Window graphics in Glasgow

Every business in Glasgow wants its signage to do one job properly, whether that means being read from the road, giving a little privacy or making glass obvious to people walking towards it. Our approach to window graphics starts there, with sizes and materials chosen for the building or vehicle in question. We work UK-wide, so enquiries from Glasgow and across Glasgow and Dunbartonshire follow one straightforward process.

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.

  • When a Glasgow unit changes hands with old graphics still up, removal and rebranding can happen in one visit.
  • Empty units in Glasgow can be dressed with printed vinyl so they look cared for while being let.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Glasgow

Scottish planning authorities vary on whether window graphics count as advertisements. Much internal vinyl is outside control or allowed, but a conservation area or listed frontage can restrict larger graphics, and listed building consent may be relevant too. Safety is the other consideration. Scotland's building standards have their own guidance on making glazing visible, while in workplaces the 1992 Workplace Regulations (regulation 14) require marking where necessary. Before the proof for window graphics is approved, we confirm the heights for any manifestation and raise any planning point with you.

Window graphics in Glasgow: questions

What is the price of window graphics for a business in Glasgow?

Guide pricing runs from £28 to £58 per m², plus VAT. The main things that move it are dimensions, the material and finish, illumination where relevant, how high the work is and whether a scaffold or platform is needed. Your written quote, issued after a survey or a check of your artwork, replaces the guide figure.

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.

Will someone visit my premises in Glasgow before quoting?

If the job needs it, yes. For signs fixed to a building, anything illuminated or work at height, we arrange a survey to measure, check the wall and plan access. For window graphics, lettering and many vehicle jobs, clear photos with measurements are often enough, and we only visit if something needs a closer look.

Will window graphics damage the glass?

Normally not. Window film adhesives release when warmed, and any residue cleans off the glass. The exceptions are coated or specialist glass, where we follow the maker's guidance, and dark films on large sunny panes, which can stress some glass.

What can delay window graphics in Glasgow?

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.

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.
