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.

Do you need permission for a sign in Long Eaton?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
