Workplace Regulations
Clear glass partitions, glass walls and glass doors are popular stylish architectural features in many domestic and commercial buildings, but did you know that by law they have to be marked so as to be visible and made obvious? This is to prevent people from accidentally walking into the glass and potentially suffering an injury.
The legal requirement for marking glass in this way is known as Glass Manifestation, and Part M of the Building Regulations requires that it is implemented either by marking the glass at two defined levels above the floor, or with a logo, sign or decorative feature of a certain size. The glass manifestation must also “contrast visually with the background seen through the glass – both inside and out – in all lighting conditions”.
Complying with this regulation is simple and inexpensive with the application of window film, either created using frosted effect film or as bespoke designed vinyl decorative decals or logos.
Simart have the expertise to design, supply and apply glass manifestation to clear glass expanses of all shapes and sizes, ensuring compliance with regulations without detracting from the aesthetics of the glass feature involved. In fact, in most cases, glass manifestation actually enhances the glass feature, and can be used as a useful vehicle for displaying brand identification logos and messages for commercial enterprises.
We also supply and install manifestation graphics for many reasons including the identification of glazed areas to meet with government safety regulations.

Graphics
Seeing is believing, so they say, and when you first hear about the properties of Contra Vision® window file you will probably refuse to believe it unless you do, indeed, see it in action!
Contra Vision® Graphics
So what makes Contra Vision® so amazing? Like many window films it can be printed on with any bespoke design you choose, and then applied to any expanse of glass.
The difference is that the graphics on the Contra Vision® window film can only be seen from one side of the window.
If it is designed to show graphics to the outside, when you look through it from the inside of the window you won’t see the graphics at all – just the unobstructed view beyond the glass.
The Contra Vision® effect was invented by a squash player keen to allow spectators to watch the sport from outside a glass-enclosed court without distracting the players inside whose view out could by blocked. Ingenious – and it worked, as it does now for hundreds of applications, from advertising and branding to building wraps and decorative glass enhancement.
Contact our qualified consultants at Simart to learn more about this remarkable one-way vision window film technology, which allows you to impose your personality on any glass feature without obscuring through vision.
