Making the most of Manifestation

Legislation dictates that glass over a certain size requires markings known as manifestation. This makes the glass visible and therefore helps prevent accidents. The Window Film Company offer a range of bespoke manifestation options to deliver a solution tailored to your exact needs.

The legislation surrounding manifestation is very clear. The markings should appear on the glass at two levels; between 850mm and 1000mm and between 1400mm and 1600mm above the floor, and should take the form of a decorative feature such as broken lines or continuous bands, at least 50mm high or a logo or motif at least 150mm high (repeated if on a glazed screen).

Whilst the regulations about the location and minimum size of manifestation are clear, the appearance and design of the markings can be customised to provide a bespoke addition to glass, ensuring a finish that is in keeping with the existing or desired aesthetics of your building.
Manifestation can take the form of logos, images, text or patterns. The only requirement is that it provides a contrast with the appearance of the glass and the background. The Window Film Company can print or cut your chosen design using state of the art print technology and high quality film to ensure the exact finish and appearance you desire. 

The Window Film Company also offer a range of standard manifestation products. Available in plain bands, dots, squares and other geometric patterns, the manifestation is created from our popular Frostbrite frosted film. This type of film is a popular choice for manifestation, as it provides the necessary contrast with the glass, whilst providing a stylish and professional looking finish – the frosted film giving glass the appearance of acid etched or sandblasted glass. This is the perfect solution when a standard design is required.

For a bespoke solution, the options are wide ranging. Manifestation can be cut from coloured film to provide a bright and eye-catching addition to glass, or printed on a choice of films to incorporate logos, branding or other design elements into your glass. Whichever choice you make, The Window Film Company can deliver – please contact one of our friendly account managers on 01494 794477 to discuss your requirements today.
