How soon after I approve the proof can the work on window and door lettering 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 Armagh once materials are ordered.

What makes window and door lettering more or less expensive?

Size and quantity come first, then the material or film, any lighting, the height of the work and the equipment needed to reach it, and the state of the surface or old sign being replaced. Against that, the guide for a job in Armagh is £95–£480 per window + VAT, confirmed after a survey or artwork check.

Who carries out the work on window and door lettering in Armagh?

The work on site is done by installers working under our contract, and anything that needs making is produced by specialist fabricators. You deal with Smart Signs throughout: we take the enquiry, survey, prepare the design and quote, check consent and coordinate the fitting, so there is one point of contact from first message to handover.

Is gold vinyl the same as gold leaf?

No. Gold vinyl is a metallic film cut by machine and applied like other lettering, for a gilded look at lower cost. Gold leaf is real metal applied by hand, with a deeper shine. From the pavement, metallic vinyl with a black outline reads as signwriting.

Do you need to visit before fitting?

Not always. For a single door or window, clear photos taken straight on with a tape measure in shot, plus glass sizes, are often enough for a scaled proof. A visit helps for large frontages, unusual glazing or old lettering to remove.

How much does door lettering cost?

Door lettering with opening hours has a guide price of £95–£245 + VAT, supplied and fitted, and a full window set £195–£480 + VAT. Gold or metallic vinyl adds a guide £30–£120 + VAT. The price is confirmed once we see photos and wording.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Armagh

For glazed shopfronts, doors and office partitions in Northern Ireland, safety comes first. Glass that someone could walk into needs marking so it can be seen; the NI Workplace Regulations 1993 require this at work where necessary, and Northern Ireland's building guidance shares the same aim. The planning side varies by council. Internal window graphics are often outside control or allowed, yet large graphics on a listed shopfront or in a conservation area may be restricted, and the 2015 NI Advertisement Regulations apply to anything that needs consent. We check before you commit.
