Window Advertising Screen for Glass Storefronts
Advertise through the glass without boarding up the view. EKINTRY builds high-brightness and transparent window screens to your opening and quotes them factory-direct.
A window advertising screen runs promotions on your glass frontage where footfall actually looks — but it has a unique constraint: it competes with daylight and, often, you do not want to block the view into the shop. That points to either a high-brightness solid screen or a transparent LED.
This page covers the window-specific choices — solid vs transparent, brightness, single vs double-sided and content — so the screen sells without darkening the shop. EKINTRY builds it to your window and quotes factory-direct.
Who custom screens are for
- Fashion, cosmetics and tech brands wanting a see-through window ad.
- Shops advertising offers to street footfall.
- Estate agents and travel shops with window listings.
- Showrooms and dealerships with large glass frontage.
Solid or transparent — the key window choice
Both advertise through the glass; they trade impact against keeping the view:
- Solid high-brightness LED — maximum contrast and impact, blocks the view behind it.
- Transparent LED — up to ~80% see-through, so content floats over a still-visible shop interior.
- Double-sided — a bright outward face for the street plus a softer inward face for customers inside.
Best for — and when it is the wrong choice
A window advertising screen is ideal for glass frontage with passing trade. When it is not:
- Right for: high-footfall glass storefronts, brand windows, showrooms.
- Not ideal if there is no glass frontage — a fascia band or façade screen fits better.
- For pure indoor menus or product walls away from the window, use an indoor retail display.
Brightness and visibility through glass
Behind glass and facing the street, plan on around 4,500 nits or more so content stays readable in direct sun — ordinary TVs and indoor panels wash out. Transparent screens trade some brightness for see-through, so orientation and shading matter; we match the build to your window.
How window screens are priced
Cost is driven by type (transparent typically costs more than solid for the same area), size, brightness, pixel pitch and single vs double-sided. Standard window LED starts around €1,500/m² and rises with transparency and brightness. We quote your exact window factory-direct.
Common mistakes to avoid
The usual window pitfalls:
- Using an indoor screen or TV in the window — daylight washes it out.
- Choosing transparent when you actually need maximum contrast (or vice-versa).
- Under-specifying brightness for a sunny, south-facing window.
- Forgetting heat — sun-facing glass gets hot, so the build must tolerate it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a window advertising screen?
An LED screen mounted on or behind a shop window to run advertising to the street — available as a high-brightness solid screen or a transparent (see-through) LED.
What is a transparent LED window display?
An LED screen that is up to about 80% see-through, so it shows content while keeping the view into the shop — popular for fashion, cosmetics and tech brands.
How bright does a window screen need to be?
Around 4,500 nits or more for a street-facing, sunlit window. Transparent screens trade some brightness for transparency, so we match the build to orientation.
Can it show different content on each side?
Yes — a double-sided build shows one message to the street and another to customers inside.
Is transparent more expensive than solid?
Usually yes, for the same area, because of the see-through module design. We quote both so you can compare.
Can you build it to my window size?
Yes — it is assembled from modules, so we fit your exact window opening and orientation.
