Manifestation is the marking on glass doors and full-height glass screens that makes people see the glass before they walk into it. Approved Document K of the Building Regulations covers it for glazing in critical locations. We make and fit it on site: plain frosted bands, dots, an etched look, or your logo and lettering.
What the guidance asks for. Approved Document K asks for glazing in critical locations, such as glass doors and full-height screens, to be made apparent, usually with permanent markings at two heights: between 850 and 1000mm, and between 1400 and 1600mm above floor level. Whether your glass needs it, and what it must look like, is for whoever is responsible for the building and its building control to confirm. We make and fit the markings; we don't give compliance sign-off.
Plain bands. Frosted or etched-look film at the two heights. Clean and quiet.
Dots and patterns. A row of dots, squares or a pattern, from stock or cut to suit.
Branded. Your logo or name in the band, frosted or cut in your brand colours.
