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 you gain from built-up 3D letters in Hawick
- Letters for Hawick frontages are usually 304 stainless; where a building faces the sea or a gritted main road, 316 keeps its finish for longer.
- A Hawick restaurant with a handsome stone or brick front can skip a fascia panel and let fabricated letters sit directly on the masonry.
- Gyms, studios and trade units in Hawick can use painted aluminium letters on profiled cladding for a durable name above the roller door.

Do you need permission for a sign in Hawick?
Different rules apply in Scotland. The 1984 Scotland Regulations decide whether a non-illuminated sign needs advertisement consent, and while some shop and office signs can go up without applying, the details are not the same as in England. Historic buildings deserve care: listed building consent is usually needed for signs on listed buildings under the 1997 Scotland Act, and carrying out works without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm what applies before you commit to built-up 3D letters, then prepare drawings and photographs for an eDevelopment.scot application, or submit it on your behalf.
