Frosted window manifestations and printed window vinyl for privacy and building regulation compliance.
Frosted Window Manifestations
Frosted window films can be cut to any shape and printed to create stunning visual effects on your windows. They can be designed to create a complete or partial privacy to offices and rooms. Giving privacy, branding opportunities and additional decorative effects, whilst allowing light through the frosted film.
Frosted window manifestations can also add an etched effect and is now used more commonly in architects specifications.
Ideas for Frosted Window Manifestations
We have many examples of how we’ve used frosted window films to enhance office spaces. From using logo’s cut out of frosted film to over printing and even using a poem. Whilst plotting the frosted window film is the most popular, the printed film can create some stunning effects, especially when the graphic is backlit. Take a look at the Printed Frosted Window Film examples we have previously printed and installed at NHS-MacMillan premises.

Johnsons offer a full site survey and installation service across the UK. We look after your project from design to fitting to make sure that they enhance your décor and meet legal obligations.

Creating One Way Vision Windows with Contra Vision
One way vision windows are a simple, cost effective solution using Contra Vision window film. We are specialists in fitting one-way window film across a variety of project types, large or small. We'll help you choose the right window film to suit your requirements, give qualified advice, and offer the very highest print quality and installation standards.
Contra Vision has many different uses. It's ability to produce stunning graphics on one side and near invisibility on the other always impresses our customers. Whether you're looking to give privacy to an office whilst still giving visibility from within, or require graphic space without affecting incoming light, our Contra Vision experts can help.
This simple fitting was carried out for a temporary office environment that required privacy. A self adhesive vinyl graphic would have blocked light and eliminated the view. And with costs very similar for print and installation, Contra Vision was the obvious choice.
How Does Contra Vision Work?
Contra Vision uses natural light to perform its trick on the eye. Holes in the Contra Vision quickly turn glazing into one way vision windows. The back of the film is usually black and in most cases is fitted to the outside of the windows. This allows the eye to see "through" the graphic from the inside but will only see the graphic from the outside. Contra Vision is supplied in many formats including 30%, 40% and 50% of hole versus substrate. This allows more or less light through, but also affects the image opacity.
The most commonly used film is the 40%, and Contra Vision have recently introduced a 40% HD version which has smaller perforations and gives the graphic unequalled print opacity. Our Sign & Display manager, Jamie Brelsford, will happily talk you through the options.
So There Are Different Kinds of Contra Vision?
There isn't one kind suits all. A 30% may be more effective than a 50% in some circumstances where the graphic is of most importance. Though there are films that give solutions to different problems.
For instance, this project for a major pharmaceutical company was produced using clear Contra Vision. And whilst production time is increased, cost of installation was dramatically reduced.

Creating one way vision windows usually means applying the window film to the glass from the outside. In this case the walkways were too high to access cost effectively so we used clear Contra Vision. Here we printed the graphic in reverse, backed it up with white ink, then printed a flood coat of black. This enabled us to adhere to the inside of the walkways rather than the outside.
The result allowed vision through the graphic from the walkways but a very visible graphic from below.

Window Stickers and Graphics – Easy to Install and Remove
We can print Window Stickers onto a non-residual clear adhesive which is easy to install, remove and reposition. The graphic is very easy to install both on walls and windows, making this a very popular choice. This is particularly useful in the home, office or retail environments where staff can install easily.We supply many of the large retail chains with Easy to Install vinyl which also has the advantage of not leaving any residue when removed.
Fitting stickers to the inside or outside of windows?
We can print both ways. To fit to the inside of the window (to display outwards) we print on clear window films. Clear window stickers are printed in reverse and backed with white ink to give opacity. Give the team a call to discuss your requirements in more detail on 01270 625207 or leave a message in the form below and we’ll get back to you.
Print any colour and plot to any shape
We can print to any colour and plot any shape to give your window stickers additional creativity. A simple cutter guide can determine the shape you require, and if you’re not a designer, we can do this for you.
What size window stickers?
We can print to any size window sticker up to 1.3 metres x 50 metres.
Some of our biggest clients send window stickers to be displayed on shop windows around Europe. This fantastic window vinyl allows them to do so without the need of professional fitters. However, larger window stickers are harder to install and may need a second person to help apply the graphic.
Why is This the Most Popular Window Vinyl?
Apart from it being a very cost effective way of creating window graphic displays, its popularity is mainly because its much easier to install. Whether it's a simple window stickers or a larger set of window graphics.
As long as the graphic is within 1 metre x 1 metre it should be relatively easy to install. Larger graphics may need professional installation from our fitting team.

Window Clings and Non Adhesive Window Stickers
We can print on to window clings and repositionable window films to create easy to install window stickers.The window clings are the easiest to fit, however condensation on windows may cause a problem on bigger graphics. Repositionable window stickers are easy to remove and don’t leave any adhesive behind. The reason for this is because the reverse of the graphic is covered in thousands of tiny suction pockets which adhere it to the window. We have the similar material for wall graphics too, and all can be printed and cut to any colour, shape and size. Give our Cheshire office a call to discuss in more detail.

Illuminated Shop Signs for Body Hub Gym, Wilmslow, Cheshire
These illuminated shop signs were produced and installed by Johnsons for new gym, Body Hub. Using LED strip lighting to backlight the printed facia, the signage together with a frosted privacy window film was installed and switched on ready for the Wilmslow gyms opening night.
Full Branding Service From Design to Installation
When we were asked to produce an illuminated shop sign for Body Hub in Wilmslow, we started by giving the premises a free site survey. This enabled us to measure the shop front accurately giving us the opportunity to offer ideas that were both true to brand and practical. We used images taken from our site visit to project the new designs, giving a true representation of how they would look after the signs were installed.
Illuminated Projected Sign
The projected shop sign is ideal to give the shop more presence on the high street. This enables the business to be seen when viewed when looking from either side of the shop front.
The Body Hub gym is on Grove Street in Wilmslow which has a heavy footfall. It was important that the Body Hub branding was visible throughout the length of the street, and a projecting sign was the perfect answer.
Branded Privacy Window Film
Body Hub also required privacy film to be fitted to the shop windows. We plotted, or cut, logo's in the frosted window film adding further branding to the shop front and also allowing natural light into the gym. See our window graphics page for more details.
Illuminating Your Signage in Different ways
Discuss Your Design With Our Signage Experts
