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 the Scottish Borders?

  • If your Hawick premises is in a conservation area, we check with the council first, as large window graphics can be restricted.
  • Cafés and takeaways in Hawick trading into the evening can leave clear areas so the lit interior still shows.
  • Seasonal sales in Hawick are simpler to promote when a fixed-size window panel is just reprinted for each campaign.

Rules for window and glass graphics in the Scottish Borders

Start with safety. Large panes and glazed doors that people could walk into need manifestation so the glass is obvious, a requirement reflected in Scotland's building standards guidance and, for workplaces, in regulation 14 of the Workplace Regulations 1992. Planning comes next: councils differ in how they treat window graphics, and while inside-the-glass work is often outside control or allowed, a listed building or conservation area can restrict larger designs. We confirm the marking heights and any planning points with you before you approve the proof.

Window graphics in the Scottish Borders: 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.

Do you work across the Scottish Borders or only in Hawick?

Across all of the Scottish Borders, and the rest of the UK too. Hawick 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 I get a fixed price for window graphics in Hawick before committing?

Yes. We start from the guide range, £28 to £58 per m² excluding VAT, then measure up or look at your photos and artwork. That gives a fixed written price reflecting the real size, materials, access and any design or consent work. You only commit once you accept that price and approve the proof.

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 work to an opening date in Hawick?

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.

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.
