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.

Reasons to choose window graphics in Folkestone

  • If your Folkestone premises is in a conservation area, we check with the council first, as large window graphics can be restricted.
  • Seasonal sales in Folkestone are simpler to promote when a fixed-size window panel is just reprinted for each campaign.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Folkestone

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.

From the middle of Folkestone to the edges of Kent, the same survey, proof and fit process applies.

Postcode districts around Folkestone include CT20, CT19 and CT18. Roughly 31 miles separate Folkestone from Maidstone, which lies to the north-west.

Window graphics in Folkestone: questions

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.

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.

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.

Can you work to an opening date in Folkestone?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

Do you cover smaller places near Folkestone as well?

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

How much should I budget for window graphics in Folkestone?

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.
