What Are Window Graphics?

Information about high quality window graphics, custom window vinyl graphics, decals and window displays

Window graphics are the ideal way to add a bespoke element of creativity to glass and glazing. Window graphics can take the form of branding, advertising, imagery or text and The Window Film Company have been supplying and installing stunning printed window graphics for a diverse range of clients since 1998.

By using state of the art print technology and the best in printable products, The Window Film Company is able to deliver impressive, full colour, wide format printed graphics for use in an almost inexhaustible range of situations. Window graphics can add style and branding to your windows and glass at a fraction of the cost of replacing the actual glazing and can even help with health and safety compliance when used as glass manifestation stickers, on windows or glass panels needing to meet building regulations related to a part of the Disability Discrimination Act (DDA).

Where can I use window graphics?

Window graphics are also referred to as window decals or stickers, they are basically the same thing, and can be applied to your glazing in a range of forms. Among the most popular uses for window graphics are glass partitions, shop fronts and glazed entrances. Where possible, the film is applied to the internal face of the glass to ensure as long a useful life as possible, but external grade window films are available should an internal application not be possible.

The film can be printed to feature custom created graphics, unique artwork, text, wayfinding signage or brand elements if you require it or can imagine it, then The Window Film Company can recreate it on a material suitable for installation at your premises.

What are window graphics made from?

Window graphics can either be cut or printed. Cut graphics can be created by cutting designs or shapes from solid coloured adhesive vinyl, or by printing in full colour onto a window film such as Frostbrite frosted film and the computer cut to the shape required. The other option is to print onto optically clear window film, a process that allows for the creation of incredibly detailed or complex designs without the need for cutting. Once complete, the graphics are visible on the film, while the remainder of the panel appears transparent, delivering the appearance of intricately cut printed graphics.

Window graphics and glass manifestation designs

Manifestation is traditionally created using a frosted film, the appearance of the manifestation takes the form of, once applied to the glass of an acid-etched finish dot, circle or logo. Manifestation design can just as easily take the form of window graphics if, for example, the simple dots or squares or strips or bands are replaced with printed window graphics. The Window Film Company offers a range of these full-colour window graphics on custom vinyls and window films, as well as standard manifestation designs.

Whilst manifestation is required by law, it also provides an opportunity to add an extra creative dimension to glazing. It can take the form of company logos or other bespoke patterns, with The Window Film Company able to recreate the artwork in full colour on a range of films; a manifestation solution tailored to exact specifications.

The Window Film Company's in house graphics team are able to work closely with clients to discuss the available options of needing glass defined with manifestation, using state of the art design and cutting equipment to recreate designs in perfect detail. With teams of professional installers operating throughout the country, The Window Film Company are able to guarantee not only the best possible manifestation product but the best possible installation.
