Bayan Signage supplies and installs high-brightness window display screens that keep a shopfront selling in midday sun and after closing time. The screens come from established commercial display manufacturers; we choose the brightness for your window's orientation, fabricate the ceiling poles, floor stands or frames in our Ajman factory, and set the screen so the shop still looks open.
A window display screen is a commercial LCD made to face outwards from behind shop glass. Its backlight is far brighter than an indoor screen, typically 2,500 nits or more, its liquid crystal has a high clearing point so it does not darken in the heat, and its front is treated against reflections. Pharmacies, phone shops, banks, exchange houses, estate agents, opticians, fashion stores and street-front restaurants use them to rotate offers through the day and keep the window working at night.
An ordinary screen in a sunny UAE window looks grey by 10 a.m. and can develop dark patches by July. Even the right screen struggles if the window bay has no airflow, if it is pushed against tinted glass, or if it is so large that the shop looks shut. We size brightness to the orientation, leave a gap to the glass, ventilate the bay where we can and position the screen so the view into the store stays open.
Bayan Signage is the production arm of Bayan Advertising, a UAE group with 15 years in the market, and has run its own factory at Alam Square, Industrial Area 2, Ajman, since 2016. Our fabricators make the ceiling poles, floor bases and window frames, powder-coated to your shopfit; our electricians check the circuit, because high-brightness screens draw serious power; and our installers align each screen to the glass. Many retail groups use us for every new branch.

The right screen depends on how much sun reaches the glass, who it talks to and how much of the window it can take up.
700 to 1,500-nit screens for mall shopfronts and covered arcades, where daylight is weaker but the screen still competes with bright mall lighting.
View details →2,500 to 3,500-nit screens for shops on the street, with ventilation planned for the window bay and a light sensor for the evening.
View details →One message to the street at high brightness and another to customers inside at lower brightness, in a single deeper unit.
View details →Two or three screens hung from poles in a larger window, running one campaign across all of them or separate offers on each.
View details →Portrait screens for pharmacies, clinics and exchange houses that rotate offers, rates and notices without covering the shop with posters.
View details →Where the window is itself the product display, a transparent screen keeps the view through while still showing motion.
View details →We check the orientation, tint, depth of the window bay, ceiling and floor for fixings, airflow and the electrical circuit, and watch how passers-by approach the shop. The survey is free in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman.
We recommend the brightness the window really needs, a size that leaves clear glass around it and portrait or landscape, then draw the mount and its position.
Ceiling poles, floor bases or window frames are cut, welded and powder-coated in our Ajman factory to match the shopfit, with cable routes built in.
Screens are supplied, the player and CMS are configured and your first content is loaded and run before installation, so the screen works when it is mounted.
Our crew fixes the mount, hangs the screen 50 to 150 mm behind the glass, aligns it with the window frame, conceals the cable and sets the light sensor.
We check legibility and reflections from the pavement at different times of day, then show your team how to update and schedule content.
This is our standard specification for a street-facing shop window. Mall units and full-sun windows move up or down from here, and every change is itemised.
| Component | Our standard | Upgrade options | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brightness | 2,500 to 3,000 nits | 3,500 to 5,000 nits for west or south-facing glass | Brightness must beat the daylight on the glass, or the screen looks grey. |
| Panel | High clearing-point LCD | Optically bonded front | A high clearing point stops dark patches when sun heats the panel. |
| Front | Anti-reflective treated glass | Bonding for fewer internal reflections | Reflections from the street wash out a picture as much as low brightness does. |
| Format | Single-sided portrait, 55 inch | Double-sided, landscape, 65 or 75 inch | Portrait suits most shop windows and leaves glass clear beside it. |
| Mount | Powder-coated ceiling poles | Floor stand, custom window frame | A rigid mount keeps the screen square to the glass and hides cables. |
| Control | Ambient light sensor, built-in player | Cloud CMS with multi-branch scheduling | The sensor dims at night, saving power and avoiding glare into the street. |
Window screens fail in predictable ways in the UAE. These five rules prevent most of them.
Shaded mall windows work at 700 to 1,500 nits. Street windows with strong indirect sun need 2,500 to 3,500 nits, and fully sun-facing west or south windows may need up to 5,000. Higher figures cost more to buy and run and produce more heat, so we measure the window rather than reaching for the biggest number on the data sheet.
Tinted glass and afternoon sun can push the air in a window bay well above 50 °C. Screens have their own fans, but they simply recirculate hot air if the bay is sealed. Leave a gap to the glass, open the top or bottom of the display to the shop where possible, and keep the screen out of the hottest corner.
Many people here wear polarised sunglasses, which can make some LCDs look dark at certain angles, particularly in portrait. We choose screens designed to stay visible through polarised lenses and check them on site with a pair of sunglasses before handover.
A 55-inch screen at 3,000 nits can draw 300 to 500 W at full brightness, several times an indoor screen. Two or three on the same window circuit as the display lighting can trip it on the hottest afternoon. Our electricians check capacity and add a dedicated circuit where needed.
A large screen in a small window blocks the view and can make a store look closed during the day. Keep clear glass around the screen, set its centre around 1.5 to 1.7 m above the floor, and run one message per slide for six to ten seconds, which is about as long as a passer-by looks.
We quote each window from its orientation, size and mounting. Send us photos of the window from inside and outside, its width and height and which way it faces, and you will usually receive an itemised quote within 24 hours.
3,500 and 5,000-nit screens cost more than 2,500-nit models and far more than indoor screens, so we specify what the window actually needs.
Double-sided units hold two panels and more cooling, so they cost and weigh more, but replace two separate screens.
Price rises steeply with size; 55 inch is a common sweet spot, while 65 and 75-inch models need stronger mounts.
Floor stands are simplest; ceiling-hung systems need structural fixing and alignment, and custom frames add fabrication time.
A dedicated circuit, concealed cabling or relocated sockets are quoted separately where the existing supply is not enough.
Cloud CMS subscriptions, content design and multi-branch scheduling add ongoing cost, and are what make the screens worth having.
Malls and many landlords restrict window screens by size, brightness, sound and content, and some limit how much of the shopfront glass a screen may cover. These rules sit in the tenant design criteria, and we design the installation to them and supply drawings and product details for approval.
Screens visible from public roads may also count as advertising, which can bring in the municipality or the free-zone authority for your area, particularly in Dubai and Sharjah. Requirements vary from site to site and change over time, so we confirm the current rule for your exact shop before ordering the screens.
We measure the window's orientation and light and specify the brightness it needs, which saves money on shaded windows and avoids grey screens on sunny ones.
Ceiling poles, floor bases and frames are fabricated and powder-coated in Ajman to match your shopfit, with cables hidden.
Our electricians check circuit capacity and install dedicated supplies where needed, so the screens do not trip on hot afternoons.
We also make window graphics, fascias and lightboxes, so the screen sits inside a complete shopfront rather than fighting it.
Every installation is checked from the street for legibility, reflections and visibility through polarised sunglasses before we hand it over.
Mount drawings and settings stay on file, so the next branch gets the same window set-up on a short programme.
It depends on the brightness, the size, single or double-sided format, the mounting and any electrical work. A 55-inch single-sided screen for a shaded mall unit costs far less than a 75-inch double-sided screen for a west-facing street window. Send us photos and measurements for an itemised quote, usually within 24 hours.
For a window with direct or strong indirect sun, typically 2,500 to 3,500 nits, and up to 5,000 for fully sun-facing glass. Shaded mall windows can work at 700 to 1,500 nits. An ambient light sensor should dim the screen at night.
Not successfully in most UAE windows. An indoor screen at 300 to 500 nits looks grey in daylight behind glass, and its panel can darken when the sun heats it. High-brightness window screens are built for exactly this job.
Usually because it is an indoor panel overheating, or a screen without a high clearing point. Heat in a sealed window bay makes it worse. A proper window screen, a gap to the glass and some airflow in the bay normally solve it.
No. Window display screens are commercial products from established display manufacturers. We specify and supply them, fabricate the mounts in our Ajman factory, install and align them, and set up the content system.
Yes. Double-sided window screens run two panels back to back, one bright for the street and one dimmer for customers inside, each with its own content. They are heavier and deeper, so the mount and ceiling need checking.
Once the mount is fabricated, most single-window installations take a few hours, usually before opening or after closing. We test the screen and load content in advance, so it is ready when mounted.
Yes. Our crews install across all seven emirates from our Ajman factory, and the site visit is free in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman. For retail groups we can install a matching set-up across many branches.
