Transform your windows into valuable space for branding, promotion, privacy, information and more with bespoke window graphics for your business.
Whether you want to create a standout shop window, add privacy to an office, display useful information or bring your brand into your environment, window graphics offer a flexible and cost-effective solution for both interior and exterior glass.
From simple vinyl lettering and window stickers to full window decals, specialist solar window film to frosted window decals. Window vinyl is a cost-effective way of ensuring large areas of glass are safe as well as visually appealing. Our skilled sign makers provide a bespoke service to help you get the most from your windows.
Window graphics can do much more than simply decorate glass. They can help customers find you, communicate important information, advertise products and services, create privacy, reinforce your brand and make large areas of glass more visible.
They are commonly associated with customer-facing businesses such as retail and hospitality, but window graphics are equally effective in offices, schools, healthcare environments, leisure facilities and other workplaces.
At Signs Express, our window graphics are designed around your business, your environment and what you need your windows to achieve.
One of the biggest advantages of window graphics is their versatility. What would otherwise be unused glass can become a practical and creative part of your premises.
Share information: Use your windows and doors to display important information such as opening hours, contact details, website addresses, services and customer information.
Give directions: Window graphics can support wayfinding throughout your premises. Identify entrances and exits, direct visitors towards the correct door or use graphics on internal glass to identify different rooms and areas.
Brand your building: Make your premises unmistakably yours. Window graphics can incorporate your logo, brand colours, messaging, products and services, helping create a consistent visual identity from the outside of your building through to your interior spaces.
Promote products and services: Your windows provide valuable advertising space. Use window graphics to promote products, services, events, seasonal campaigns or special offers to people passing your premises. Designs can be temporary or longer term, giving you the flexibility to change your messaging when required.
Create privacy: Frosted and privacy window films can provide additional privacy for employees, customers and visitors without the need to introduce solid walls or partitions. They're particularly useful for offices, meeting rooms, schools, healthcare environments and other spaces where privacy is important but maintaining natural light is desirable.
Display artwork: Turn plain areas of glass into a creative feature with bespoke artwork and graphics. From large illustrations and photography to patterns and branded designs, window graphics can help establish the character of a space and create a more engaging environment for employees, customers, visitors and students.
Frame window displays: For retailers, window graphics can work alongside physical product displays rather than replacing them. Decorative graphics, lettering and promotional elements can frame your products, draw attention to particular areas and help create a more cohesive shopfront.
Every window and every environment is different, which is why our window graphics are created around your requirements. Our teams can work with you on the design, colours, visuals, content and materials to create graphics that complement your organisation and the space around them.
We work with organisations across a wide range of industries, including retailers, schools, hospitals, offices, hospitality businesses and leisure facilities. Depending on the project and location, installation can also be planned to minimise disruption to your organisation, including working outside normal opening hours where necessary.
The best window graphic depends on what you need the glass to do.

Full-colour printed window graphics give you maximum freedom to use photography, illustrations, colours and messaging.
Frosted window graphics or privacy film can obscure visibility while allowing natural light through.
Vinyl lettering, personalised window stickers, frosted graphics and printed vinyl can all incorporate your visual identity.
One-way vision film allows people inside to see out while displaying graphics externally.
Window manifestations can make large glazed areas easier to identify while incorporating decorative or branded elements.
Solar window film can help manage the effects of sunlight entering through your windows.
Full-colour printed window graphics give you maximum freedom to use photography, illustrations, colours and messaging.
The lifespan of window graphics depends on the material, installation location, exposure to the elements and how they are maintained.
Many high-quality vinyl graphics can last for several years when correctly installed and cared for, while temporary materials are available for short-term promotions and campaigns.
Interior graphics are generally less exposed to weather and environmental conditions than exterior applications. Your local Signs Express team can recommend an appropriate material based on how long you need your graphics to remain in place.
There are several types of window signage available depending on what you want to achieve.
Vinyl decals and lettering can be cut into logos, text and custom shapes.
Window clings provide a removable option that can work well for temporary promotions.
Perforated or one-way vision film allows graphics to cover a large area while maintaining visibility from inside.
Frosted window graphics add privacy while still allowing natural light through.
Full-colour printed graphics can create vibrant displays across part or all of a window.
Window manifestations make glazed areas more visible and can incorporate decorative or branded designs.
If you're unsure which option you need, tell us what you'd like your window graphics to achieve and we'll recommend a suitable solution.
The glass is first prepared and thoroughly cleaned to remove dirt, dust and grease that could affect adhesion.
The graphic is then carefully positioned and aligned before being applied to the glass. Depending on the material, specialist application tools and techniques are used to create a smooth finish and remove trapped air.
Edges and details are then finished and checked to ensure the completed graphics look professional.
Vinyl is one of the most commonly used materials for window graphics because it is versatile, durable and available in a wide variety of finishes.
Different applications require different materials. These can include standard coloured or printed vinyl, perforated one-way vision film, frosted vinyl, clear vinyl and specialist window films.
The appropriate material will depend on factors including whether the graphics are being fitted internally or externally, the level of privacy or visibility required, the desired lifespan and the overall design.
Not necessarily. How much natural light is affected depends on the material and coverage you choose.
Frosted vinyl provides privacy while still allowing light to pass through. Perforated one-way vision film can retain a degree of visibility and light from inside, while opaque graphics provide much greater coverage.
If maintaining natural light is important, we can recommend a material and design that balances privacy, visibility and light transmission.
The cost of window graphics depends on the size of the area being covered, the type of material used, the complexity of the design and the installation requirements. A simple vinyl logo or window lettering will typically require a different approach to full-colour graphics covering several large windows.
As every project is different, your local Signs Express centre can recommend the most suitable option for your requirements and provide a tailored quotation.
Yes, many types of window vinyl can be removed when they are no longer required, making window graphics suitable for changing promotions, rebrands and updates as well as longer-term installations. How easily a graphic can be removed will depend on the material used, how long it has been installed and the condition of the glass.
Yes, window graphics can be fitted to either the inside or outside of the glass, depending on the type of window, the design and what you need the graphics to achieve.
Applying graphics inside can help protect them from weather and external wear, while exterior application may be more suitable for certain types of glazing or when maximum visibility is required.
Your local Signs Express team can assess your windows and recommend the most suitable material and application method for your space.
From a simple logo or opening hours to complete window displays, privacy solutions and large-scale branded graphics, we'll help you make better use of your glass.
