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.
What you gain from flat-cut letters in Edinburgh
- Inside an Edinburgh clinic or practice, letters behind the reception desk tell visitors they are in the right place straight away.
- For an Edinburgh salon or studio on a modest budget, matte black acrylic on a pale wall gives a designed look without fabrication costs.
- In a shared Edinburgh office building, a name on the wall beside your door helps visitors find you on the right floor.

Do you need permission for a sign in Edinburgh?
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.
