Frosted glass manifestations offer one of the most effective and stylish ways to ensure compliance with building regulations while providing a visual barrier without blocking natural light. Full-height glass windows, partitions, and doors must be clearly marked under legislation to improve visibility and prevent accidents.
Glass manifestation is a legal requirement designed to make transparent surfaces obvious, reducing the risk of injury from people walking into them. The Building Regulations 2000: Part M specifies that glass entrance doors and screens must include manifestation at two levels—between 850mm and 1000mm, and between 1400mm and 1600mm above floor level. These markings must contrast visually with the background seen through the glass, ensuring visibility in all lighting conditions.
Manifestations can take the form of branded logos or signage (at least 150mm high, repeated if necessary on larger glazed screens) or decorative features such as continuous bands or broken lines (at least 50mm high). However, compliance does not mean compromising on design.
At Mtec Graphics, we specialise in transforming glass surfaces into bespoke design elements. Using high-quality specialist films, we can mimic premium glass finishes such as **reeded or fluted glass**, achieving the look of expensive decorative glazing at a fraction of the cost. Our **sandblast effect and frosted glass** films provide privacy and style, creating elegant partitions, meeting room screens, or branded office features.
We offer **bespoke printed glass manifestations**, incorporating custom patterns, branding, or intricate designs to elevate any space. Whether you require subtle privacy screening or a bold, statement-making graphic, our solutions blend function with visual impact. With extensive experience delivering high-standard manifestation schemes for government buildings, corporate offices, and public spaces, Mtec Graphics ensures every project meets both aesthetic and regulatory requirements.
Enhance your glass surfaces with tailored designs that are both practical and visually compelling—contact Mtec Graphics to discuss your bespoke glass manifestation needs.
