A fascia sign is the flat panel fixed along the board above a shop or office frontage, usually 3–4 mm aluminium composite carrying printed or cut-vinyl lettering, a logo and sometimes contact details.
Good reasons to look at fascia signs in Dunbar
- For a Dunbar unit in a conservation area, a matt panel with restrained lettering is often the easier design to agree.
- Rebranding a Dunbar business is simpler with a flat panel, because vinyl lettering can be updated without replacing the whole sign.
- Taking over an older unit in Dunbar? A new panel can usually go straight over the existing fascia board, without stripping it out.

Do you need permission for a sign in Dunbar?
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 fascia signs, then prepare drawings and photographs for an eDevelopment.scot application, or submit it on your behalf.
