window lettering.
Your shop window works for you, even with the shutters down. Cut vinyl, printed window graphics, frosted film: we dress your windows to display your contact details, your opening hours and your offers, or simply to create privacy.
Window lettering is a matter of millimetres: letters too small and the message can no longer be read from the pavement opposite; too dense and the window goes dark. We calibrate the sizes to the actual reading distance, and we show you the result as a simulation on a photo before anything is cut.
Frosted film deserves a mention of its own: it replaces a blind at a lower cost, lets the light through and can be cut with your logo reversed out. It is the most common solution for consulting rooms, meeting rooms and exposed ground floors.
Everything is reversible: the vinyl comes off without leaving marks or adhesive residue, which matters when you are a tenant.

questions we are asked.
What can I put on my window without darkening the shop?
The name, the opening hours, the telephone number and a pictogram are usually enough, applied as cut vinyl. Only the letters are opaque, and the glass stays clear around them. Light comes in, the inside stays visible, and the passer-by reads what matters while walking past. Large printed images, by contrast, block the view. They earn their place when you want to hide a stockroom or an office.
Does frosted film really hide what is behind it?
It blurs without darkening: only outlines stay visible, and daylight still comes through. It is what goes on the glazing of a meeting room, a consulting room or a ground-floor office. It is cut as a band at eye level, as a pattern, or full height, and can carry your logo reversed out of it. Unlike a reflective film, it works the same by day and after dark.
Does the shop have to close during installation?
No, in most cases. The film is applied to the glazing in place, with nothing dismantled. The glass is degreased, the film applied, then squeegeed to drive out the water and air. It needs clean glazing and a room above freezing. We agree the time with you, and most shop windows are done outside opening hours.
When I have it taken off, will the glass be left unmarked?
Yes, when the removal is done properly. The film is peeled away in strips with gentle heat, then the residual glue is dissolved and the glass cleaned. No mark is left. A film left well beyond its service life, baked by the sun, comes away in pieces and takes far longer, so it is better to remove it before it degrades.
Cut vinyl or printing: what is the difference?
Cutting takes the letters and shapes out of a coloured film. There is no background, the glass stays visible between the letters, and the edge is crisp. Printing puts your artwork onto a film, photographs and multiple colours included, but it covers the whole area it occupies. A two-colour logo is cut. A photograph is printed. Over a large area, cutting lets the daylight in, printing holds it back.
