Built-up letters are three-dimensional letters fabricated, usually from metal sheet, with a face and returns joined into a hollow letter typically 50–100 mm deep, then fixed to a wall or sign on locators.
Built-up 3D letters in Irvine: the practical benefits
- Business park tenants in Irvine who mount letters on a shared entrance canopy should check the landlord's signage rules first.
- Hotels and venues in Irvine wanting a lasting first impression may choose brass-finish letters, which suit traditional and modern buildings.
- For an office building on the edge of Irvine with plain brick or cladding, brushed stainless letters read clearly from the car park.

Do you need permission for a sign in Irvine?
In Scotland, signs are controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Some signs on business premises are allowed without an application, but the details differ from England's, so we check with the council rather than assume. Where express consent is needed, the application goes to the council, usually through eDevelopment.scot. Listed buildings need extra care: listed building consent is usually required under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
