Window Graphics and Displays
Glass is some of the most valuable advertising space a business has, and most of it goes unused. Window graphics turn it into a display that can promote a campaign, carry your brand, give privacy to an office or simply tell people when you are open.

WHAT WE MAKE
Types of Window Graphics
One of our specialist areas is large format printing and fitting of window graphics at every scale, from a single door to a nationwide retail rollout. We have produced and installed window displays for some of the largest global retail brands as well as one-off stores, and everything from design to fitting is handled by our own team. They sit alongside the shop front signs we make for the same frontages.
Frosted and etched-effect film
Privacy and manifestation film for offices, clinics and meeting rooms, which can include a logo or pattern cut into the frost. It is often fitted as part of a wider scheme of office signs.
FOR RETAILERS
Window Displays for Retailers and Multi-Site Rollouts
For retailers, windows change more often than any other signage. A campaign might run for four weeks and then need replacing across every store at once.
We survey or take measurements for each site, produce a per-window artwork layout and print the whole batch together so colour matches from store to store. Removable films can be taken down and replaced without damaging the glass, and installations can be scheduled before opening or after closing so the shop floor is not disrupted. The same survey can cover the retail store signage for each unit.
Our article on who installs window display graphics for retailers explains how the process works in more detail, from materials to rollout planning.
HOW IT WORKS
Design, Printing and Fitting In-House
A visual on your own windows
Our design team lays the artwork over a photograph of your actual windows, so you see the finished display before anything is printed.
Printed and fitted by us
Printing takes place in our own workshop on industry-leading machinery, and our own fitters apply the graphics on site.
No chain of suppliers
Keeping every stage together is what stops the usual problems: artwork that does not fit the frame, colours that do not match the brand, and film that lifts or bubbles because it was applied in a hurry. If a panel needs reprinting, that is a job for our workshop, not a chain of suppliers.

Artwork laid over a photo of your own windows before anything is printed.

Off cleanly
Removable films for seasonal and promotional displays, taken down without marking the glass.
Around your hours
Fitting booked before opening or after closing, so the shop floor keeps trading.
What Affects the Price of Window Graphics
The area of glass, the type of film and where it goes make most of the difference. Printed full-colour displays and one-way vision cost more per square metre than cut vinyl lettering, and outside application or awkward access adds fitting time. For rollouts, the number of stores and windows sets the batch.

QUESTIONS
Window Graphics FAQs
Do window graphics need planning permission?
Many window graphics do not need consent, but some do, particularly illuminated displays, graphics on listed buildings and some premises in conservation areas. We will tell you what is likely to apply when we look at your premises.
Can window graphics be removed without damaging the glass?
Yes. Removable films are designed to come off cleanly, which is why they are used for seasonal and promotional displays.
Should graphics go on the inside or outside of the glass?
Inside application protects the graphic from weather and cleaning. Outside application can look sharper on some glass types. We will recommend the right option for your windows and how long the display needs to last.
What is one-way vision film?
A perforated vinyl that shows your printed design from outside while staff and customers inside can still see out. It is useful where you want branding and privacy together.
Do you fit window graphics outside Berkshire?
Yes. We are based in Bracknell, but we print and install window graphics across the UK, including multi-site rollouts.
Can you match our existing brand colours?
Yes. Send us your brand guidelines and we will match colours during printing.
