Window lettering is text or simple logos cut from self-adhesive vinyl, with no background film, applied to glass doors and windows to show a name, opening hours and contact details.
Practical reasons to consider window and door lettering in Chelsea
- Upper-floor offices in Chelsea with a street door can letter the glass with company names, so visitors find the right entrance.
- When a Chelsea business changes its number or hours, one line of vinyl is swapped rather than the whole door.
- Estate agents and solicitors in Chelsea often choose metallic or frosted lettering for a quieter look on a glazed front.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Chelsea
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.
