Even if you own or work in a modern office, chances are you might not know the term ‘window manifestation’. However, you will know all about health and safety, in which window manifestation plays a key role.
Simply put, window manifestation is the process of applying designs or patterns to glass surfaces, including windows, doors and partitions, to make them visible and distinguishable. Covering windows in special architectural film, as Fusion Surfaces does, prevent accidents and helps to meet strict safety regulations.
Why do offices and commercial buildings need window manifestation?
If you’ve ever walked into a glass door thinking it was an empty space, you’ll know exactly why window manifestation is necessary! Clear glass can sometimes lead to accidental collisions and by increasing the visibility of glass elements, manifestation serves a dual purpose: it ensures that the safety of employees is prioritised while also giving interiors an added touch of style.
The role of manifestation in office safety
In the UK, workplace safety regulations require that glass doors and partitions are clearly marked to reduce the risk of injuries by preventing accidental impacts. A well-designed window manifestation meets these legal requirements and reflects your company’s commitment to a safe working environment. By making glass surfaces easily noticeable, employees are less likely to walk into them unknowingly, which can significantly reduce the potential for accidents.
Vinyl as a window manifestation solution
Vinyl is an innovative and cost-effective method to achieve effective window manifestation. At Fusion Surfaces, we’ve harnessed the versatility of vinyl to transform plain glass into a visual surface. Here’s why vinyl is a superb choice for window manifestation:
· Safety compliance: Vinyl manifestations can be designed to adhere to strict safety standards, ensuring that glass surfaces are clearly marked and easily seen.
· Customisable designs: With a wide range of patterns, colours and textures available, vinyl allows you to integrate your corporate branding into the manifestation design. See how we did this for IAM Productions by clicking here.
· Cost-effective and sustainable: Unlike traditional methods, vinyl minimises waste. Instead of replacing entire glass units, a simple wrap gives new life to existing surfaces.
· Durability: Our films are engineered to be long-lasting, scratch-resistant and able to withstand everyday knocks and bumps. This ensures that your office not only looks good but continues to meet safety standards for years to come.
Drawing inspiration from reeded glass
A great example of window manifestation in action is the use of reeded glass. This provides a textured surface that naturally draws attention to the glass, preventing inadvertent collisions. However, actual reeded glass can be costly. Vinyl film that mimics the look of reeded glass offer a practical alternative, providing the same safety benefits while maintaining a chic, contemporary appearance.
