Rules for window and glass graphics in Porthcawl

Glass graphics raise two separate questions in Wales. Planning first: councils take different views on window graphics, and while internal graphics are often outside control or allowed, a listed shopfront or a conservation area can bring restrictions on large designs. Safety second: large areas of glazing that people could walk into must be made visible, and in workplaces regulation 14 of the Workplace Regulations 1992 requires marking where it is needed. Welsh building guidance deals with manifestation with that same aim, and we confirm the heights for your building before the proof is approved.

Window and door lettering in Porthcawl: questions

Do you work across Mid Glamorgan or only in Porthcawl?

Across all of Mid Glamorgan, and the rest of the UK too. Porthcawl is simply one of the places we list, and enquiries from anywhere nearby follow exactly the same steps: photos or a survey, a scaled proof, a written price, then making and fitting once you sign off the design.

Can you work to an opening date in Porthcawl?

Tell us the date when you enquire and we will say plainly whether it looks realistic. Timescales typically depend on how soon the proof is approved, how long production takes and whether consent is needed, which can take several weeks on its own. We plan around your date where we can, but we do not promise one we cannot control.

How long does door lettering take to fit?

Not long on site. A door set with a name and opening hours typically takes under an hour once the glass is clean, and a full window set a few hours, depending on the amount of text and any old lettering to remove.

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.

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

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.

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.
