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.
Reasons to choose flat-cut letters in Stranraer
- Ground-floor shops in Stranraer can mount 10 mm metal letters on stand-offs over a painted fascia, getting depth for less.
- For a Stranraer salon or studio on a modest budget, matte black acrylic on a pale wall gives a designed look without fabrication costs.
- In a shared Stranraer office building, a name on the wall beside your door helps visitors find you on the right floor.
What flat-cut letters cost in Stranraer

Letter count and height, stand-offs, colour matching, the wall surface and access follow, and every price is confirmed after an artwork check and survey.

Do you need permission for a sign in Stranraer?
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 flat-cut letters, then prepare drawings and photographs for an eDevelopment.scot application, or submit it on your behalf.
