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.
Window and door lettering in Southsea: the practical benefits
- Estate agents and solicitors in Southsea often choose metallic or frosted lettering for a quieter look on a glazed front.
- Drivers and cyclists passing through Southsea see windows at an angle, so bold letters and short lines help a name register.
- Upper-floor offices in Southsea with a street door can letter the glass with company names, so visitors find the right entrance.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Southsea
Most businesses ask two things about glass: do I need permission, and does it need marking? On permission, councils in England take differing views on window graphics; inside-the-glass work is often outside control or allowed, while big graphics on listed shopfronts or in conservation areas can be restricted. We check before you commit. On marking, Approved Document K recommends manifestation at 850–1000 mm and 1400–1600 mm above floor level on glazing people could walk into, and the Workplace Regulations 1992 (regulation 14) cover transparent surfaces at work. Our proof shows the heights, so you can see the result before anything is cut.
