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

Do you need permission for a sign in Linlithgow?
Scotland runs its own advertisement rules, set out in the 1984 Control of Advertisements (Scotland) Regulations as amended. An unlit sign on your own premises may not need an application, but that depends on its size, its position and whether the building is listed or sits in a conservation area. If consent is needed, the council receives the application, typically submitted online through eDevelopment.scot. On a listed building, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check the position with you before anything is ordered, and we can draw up and submit the paperwork if you would like us to.
