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.
Points in favour of built-up 3D letters in Portadown
- Letters for Portadown frontages are usually 304 stainless; where a building faces the sea or a gritted main road, 316 keeps its finish for longer.
- For an office building on the edge of Portadown with plain brick or cladding, brushed stainless letters read clearly from the car park.
- Hotels and venues in Portadown wanting a lasting first impression may choose brass-finish letters, which suit traditional and modern buildings.

Do you need permission for a sign in Portadown?
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.
