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.
Where window and door lettering can pay off in Galashiels
- When a Galashiels business changes its number or hours, one line of vinyl is swapped rather than the whole door.
- Drivers and cyclists passing through Galashiels see windows at an angle, so bold letters and short lines help a name register.
- Taking on a new unit in Galashiels? Door lettering often goes up first, showing your name while the rest is planned.

Rules for window and glass graphics in Galashiels
Scottish planning authorities vary on whether window graphics count as advertisements. Much internal vinyl is outside control or allowed, but a conservation area or listed frontage can restrict larger graphics, and listed building consent may be relevant too. Safety is the other consideration. Scotland's building standards have their own guidance on making glazing visible, while in workplaces the 1992 Workplace Regulations (regulation 14) require marking where necessary. Before the proof for window and door lettering is approved, we confirm the heights for any manifestation and raise any planning point with you.
