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.
The case for window and door lettering in Manchester
- Drivers and cyclists passing through Manchester see windows at an angle, so bold letters and short lines help a name register.
- Barbers and cafés on a Manchester high street need clear opening hours, as many customers pass first and return later.
- Estate agents and solicitors in Manchester often choose metallic or frosted lettering for a quieter look on a glazed front.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Manchester
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.
