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.
Why choose built-up 3D letters for a business in Stirling?
- Hotels and venues in Stirling wanting a lasting first impression may choose brass-finish letters, which suit traditional and modern buildings.
- Business park tenants in Stirling who mount letters on a shared entrance canopy should check the landlord's signage rules first.
- For an office building on the edge of Stirling with plain brick or cladding, brushed stainless letters read clearly from the car park.

Do you need permission for a sign in Stirling?
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.
