Window Graphics & Manifestations

Often used for branding, decoration, or safety purposes, window graphics are a practical way to transform glass surfaces into commercial and residential spaces. As their name suggests, they are vinyl films printed and installed on windows. With bold designs or subtle frosted films, they can enhance both the appearance and functionality of spaces.

Window manifestations, while the same kind of design, are required by law in offices and public buildings to make larger glass panels more visible to prevent accidents and ensure building regulations. Furthermore, if you have transparent glass, you are legally required to identify the glass to avoid any accidental human impact, which is where window vinyl helps.

At Lavastar, we’re the UK’s leading provider of window graphics and manifestations, adhering to building regulations. We specialise in using high-quality materials to design any window graphic for your needs. With custom window graphic packages, an in-house design team, and our qualified CSCS sign installers, we deliver nothing short of excellence.

With over 25 years of experience and worldwide service, we are your trusted partner for custom window vinyl graphics. Our professional team will work with you to create a design that reflects your branding and unique needs. Get in touch to discuss the best options for your project.

Our Window Graphic Products

We offer several types of window graphics, and you can design your own with our custom window vinyl packages.

Full Colour Printed Vinyl

These allow any image, design, or branding to be printed directly onto window vinyl and applied to the glass. A versatile solution, they’re perfect for bold displays, retail promotions, or creative window graphics for decoration.

One-Way Vision Graphics

Also known as Contra Vision, these window graphics are perforated vinyl film that is only visible from one side of the glass. They clearly display your message to outside viewers while adding privacy to the interior. They’re ideal for retail environments, transport graphics like on the side of a bus, or office privacy.

Ultra Clear Vinyl

A transparent film printed with graphics or texts to create the effect of a floating design, this window vinyl is designed to have minimal visibility on glass and help maintain a clear view. It provides crystal-clear visibility from both sides and is ideal for nighttime use, adding a sharp edge when light shines through it.

Textile Window Vinyl

These window graphics are often used for decorative purposes and almost have a fabric texture, adding warmth and softness to glass surfaces. A newer addition to our window range, this revolutionary textile-printed window graphic offers a unique but modern look for businesses to office manifestations.

Optical Clear Vinyl

An ultra-transparent film that allows for high-quality, full-colour printing while maintaining clarity where there is no window graphic print. Optical clear is often used for complex designs where parts of the glass need to stay completely clear. It is great for retail or office spaces to add colour without reducing the light coming in.

Printed Window Graphics

These cover a wide range of custom window graphic designs printed on various films. This allows for anything from full-window vinyl to subtle decorative elements. These are highly customisable, meaning you can design how you like, and they offer great brand showcasing and storytelling.

Vinyl Cut Graphics

Made from coloured vinyl that’s cut into specific shapes, logos or text, this window vinyl offers a clean, sharp finish. You might find these displayed as window graphics for business names, opening hours, or directional signage.

Our Window Manifestation Products

Window manifestations are mostly used for safety and privacy in commercial spaces and ensure the glass is visible to prevent accidents. But these can be creatively designed to complement branding. While you can find all of our window graphics can be used as manifestations, we also offer the below:

Frosted Window Vinyl

Also called LavaFrost, it gives a sandblasted or etched look, which provides privacy while still allowing light through. Our premium frosted window vinyl offers a stylish look and distinctive textured finish and is great to use for privacy in offices, staff areas, or partitions.

Decorative Window Films

These can add style to any glass surface while fulfilling safety requirements. Decorative films are more for design than anything else and can be customised with a variety of textures, patterns, and finishes. You’ll most often see geometric designs, gradients, or custom motifs.

Safety Window Manifestation

Safety manifestations are often window graphics to make the glass more visible. If you have transparent glass, these are frequently required as part of building regulations and usually consist of marketing such as forms, squares, brands or custom shapes applied to large panes of glass.

Window Graphics & Manifestation FAQs

What Are Window Graphics Used For?

Window graphics simply transform glass windows into something functional. They can be used for advertising, branding, privacy, or decoration to create visual interest. These graphics can be used in any retail, office, or hospitality space.

What Are Window Manifestations?

Window manifestations are often a legal requirement in workplaces and public buildings and are more marketing or window graphics applied to glass to make it more visible. This prevents accidental collisions or accidents in areas where large clear glass is present. While mostly for safety and legal reasons, you still can have custom designs for visual interest.

Can Window Vinyl Be Customised?

Yes! With Lavastar, you can create bespoke window graphics or window manifestation designs to suit your needs. We can tailor them to any style using brand colours, logos, text, full imagery, or custom patterns. Just get in touch today for a custom window graphics quote from our in-house designers.

Can You Print Any Design Onto Window Graphics?

Yes, almost any design can be printed onto our window vinyl. From full-colour images and gradients to subtle patterns or branding elements. With our advanced window vinyl printing, it makes it possible to achieve high levels of detail. And with our customised window graphic packages, anything is possible.

Do Window Graphics Block Out Light?

This depends on the type of window vinyl you choose. Most designs still allow for natural light to pass through, especially frosted films. But solid printed vinyl will block light in the areas where the graphic is applied. If you’re worried, the level of light control can be tailored to your requirements.

Are Window Graphics Suitable For Privacy?

Yes! If you have offices, meeting rooms, shopfronts, or residential spaces and wish to make the area private so people can’t see in, choose frosted films or one-way vision graphics.

What Are Window Graphics Made From?

Our window graphics and manifestations are all made from high-quality vinyl or specialist window films such as frosted, clear, or perforated vinyl. This depends on the type product you choose, but in our consultation, we can discuss window graphic materials with you if needed.

Can Window Graphics Be Applied To Any Glass Surface?

Yes! As long as the glass is clean, smooth, and free from damage, our window vinyl can be applied to any interior or exterior glass surface in any commercial or private space.

How Are Window Graphics Installed?

At Lavastar, our professional installers will clean the glass surface and apply your window vinyl directly onto it for you. By applying it smoothly and removing any bubbles or creases, we’ll ensure that your window vinyl has a perfect finish. They can be applied to any window, whether it’s inside or outside a building.

How Long Do Window Graphics Last?

While the lifespan depends on the material and location, they can last from 3 to 7 years. Our professionally produced window graphics can withstand weather conditions, UV exposure, and general wear and tear to ensure durability, whether indoors or outdoors. While these can be as permanent or temporary as you’d like, we can help with removing them or any touch-ups if needed.

How Can I Maintain My Window Vinyl?

Proper cleaning and care ensure that your design lasts longer and it’s easy! Simply clean with a soft cloth and mild cleaners, avoiding harsh chemicals. If you’re unsure or need a professional, Lavastar can help.

Where Does Lavastar Provide Window Vinyl Services?

The bulk of our window graphics and manifestations are carried out in London. However, our services extend far beyond, with successful installations completed across the UK.

How Much Do Window Graphics Cost?

The cost of window vinyl or manifestations depends on the size, material and design. At Lavastar, we provide tailored quotes and ensure all costs are transparent, with no hidden fees. To get a quote for your project, please contact our in-house experts, who will be more than happy to answer any questions and conduct a free site survey.
