Window Signage

Glass does the talking

Windows are the largest piece of usable surface most shopfronts have. Treated well, the glass carries the business name, trading hours, a service list or an illustration — and still lets light and life into the room behind it. Treated badly, it either disappears or blocks the shop out entirely.

We work on glass every week across the Sunshine Coast, from single-pane cafe doors to full retail frontages and office glazing, and the balance between coverage and openness is usually the first thing we talk through with a client.

What we apply

Cut vinyl lettering and graphics are the mainstay — weeded and applied by hand, with no background, so the artwork sits directly on the glass. For privacy we use frosted and etched-effect film, either as full panels or cut to a logo or pattern, which softens a meeting room or treatment space without going dark.

One-way vision film prints a full-colour image on the outside while keeping an outward view from inside — useful for promotional frontages, gyms and consulting rooms. We also install manifestation banding: the visibility strips that keep large glass doors and panels compliant and stop people walking into them.

Larger printed window graphics are produced on our own large-format printers, so a window job can be matched to the shop fascia above it and the rest of the shopfront in one pass — same colours, same type, same team measuring and installing.
