Can you match the lettering on our sign?

Usually, yes. Send the font name if you know it, or a clear photo of the existing sign, and we'll match or redraw the letterforms and colour so door, window and fascia look like one set. Vector logo files help too.

Can people read window lettering at night?

Yes, but it reads differently. Cut vinyl isn't lit, so after dark, with lights on inside, opaque letters can look like dark shapes against the bright interior, whatever their colour. Bold letters stay legible; thin strokes are harder to pick out from the street.

Will window cleaning damage vinyl lettering?

Normal cleaning won't. Soapy water, a soft applicator and a squeegee are fine. The risk comes from blades pushed against letter edges and from strong solvents. If your windows are scraped regularly, ask for the lettering on the inside face, out of reach.

Is Portadown inside your coverage area for window and door lettering?

It is. We work throughout the UK rather than in a single region, so Portadown and every part of County Armagh are included. Where a survey is needed we arrange a visit; for graphics jobs we can often quote from photos and measurements. Either way, you get a proof and a written price first.

What can delay window and door lettering in Portadown?

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.

Is there a guide price for window and door lettering in Portadown?

Yes: £95–£480 per window + VAT is our guide range. It is not a fixed quote, because no two jobs are the same size or on the same surface. The area covered, materials, the number of letters or panels, removal of anything old and access all change the figure, which we confirm after seeing the site or artwork.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Portadown

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.
