Flat-cut letters are individual letters and logos cut from a single solid sheet, typically 5–10 mm acrylic, aluminium composite or metal, and fixed flush to a wall or held off it on stand-offs.
Points in favour of flat-cut letters in Belfast
- For a Belfast salon or studio on a modest budget, matte black acrylic on a pale wall gives a designed look without fabrication costs.
- Ground-floor shops in Belfast can mount 10 mm metal letters on stand-offs over a painted fascia, getting depth for less.
- Small firms moving into a new Belfast unit can start with flat-cut letters at reception, adding exterior signs once the lease is settled.

Do you need permission for a sign in Belfast?
Before any exterior sign goes up in Northern Ireland, it is worth checking the 2015 NI Advertisement Regulations. Some straightforward signs on business premises fall within what is allowed without applying, but the conditions are Northern Ireland's own and conservation areas need more care. Listed buildings usually need listed building consent as well, and works without it can be a criminal offence. We confirm the position with you before you commit to flat-cut letters, and we can prepare the drawings and photographs for an NI Planning Portal application or submit it for you.
