What are window graphics?
Window graphics are printed or cut films applied to glass surfaces. They can be temporary or permanent and are suitable for both interior and exterior use.
They are commonly used on:
-
shopfront windows
-
glass doors
-
reception areas
-
display windows
Graphics can display branding, promotional messages, opening hours or decorative designs, helping make glazing both functional and visually engaging.
Shopfront window graphics options
There are many different types of window graphics available depending on the desired look and purpose.
Cut vinyl lettering and logos
Individually cut lettering and shapes provide a clean and professional appearance. Ideal for:
-
business names
-
opening hours
-
logos
-
simple branding
These are usually applied directly to the inside or outside of the glass.
Printed window graphics
Printed graphics allow full colour images, gradients and detailed designs. Suitable for:
-
promotional displays
-
large format branding
-
seasonal campaigns
-
retail window displays
They can cover part or all of the window depending on the design.
Frosted and privacy graphics
Frosted window film can be cut or printed with patterns and logos to provide privacy while maintaining light. Often used for:
-
offices
-
salons and studios
-
internal partitions
-
consultation rooms
Perforated window graphics
Perforated films allow graphics to be seen from outside while maintaining visibility from inside. These are often used for retail display windows and branding.
How much do window graphics cost?
The cost of window graphics varies depending on several factors. Each project is usually priced individually based on requirements.
Key factors include:
-
size of the window or graphic
-
design complexity
-
type of film used
-
printed or cut graphics
-
internal or external installation
-
access and installation time
Simple cut lettering for a small window will cost significantly less than a full printed shopfront display. Larger installations or bespoke designs require more production and installation time, which affects pricing.
Because of these variables, most window graphics are quoted following a discussion of requirements and measurements.
