Glass manifestations

Glass manifestations are essential interior signage solutions that improve safety and reduce collisions in public and private environments. Used in offices, commercial buildings and other indoor and outdoor spaces, they ensure DDA compliance while subtly enhancing aesthetics.

What are glass manifestations?

Glass manifestations are a type of decal that improve the visibility of transparent doors and windows to prevent accidents. They are often a legal requirement.

DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) dots, for example, ensure compliance with UK building regulations and must meet specific requirements on size, spacing, placement and contrast. DDA manifestation must be applied across the entire width of the glass in two horizontal bands; the lower band must be between 850mm and 1000mm in height, and the upper band must be between 1400mm and 1600mm.

Types of glass manifestations we offer

We provide several types of glass manifestation, including:

• DDA dots, which meet public health and accessibility requirements
• Bespoke DDA-compliant dots, such as company logos or different shapes
• Patterned, pre-spaced privacy film
