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.
Practical reasons to consider built-up 3D letters in Larne

Do you need permission for a sign in Larne?
Northern Ireland has its own rules: the Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015. As elsewhere in the UK, some signs on business premises can be displayed without an application while others need consent, but the limits are specific to Northern Ireland, so we check with the council rather than rely on English figures. Applications go to the council through the NI Planning Portal. A sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent under the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
