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

Do you need permission for a sign in Tranent?
Scotland runs its own advertisement rules, set out in the 1984 Control of Advertisements (Scotland) Regulations as amended. An unlit sign on your own premises may not need an application, but that depends on its size, its position and whether the building is listed or sits in a conservation area. If consent is needed, the council receives the application, typically submitted online through eDevelopment.scot. On a listed building, listed building consent usually applies too, and fixings into mortar joints are generally preferred. We check the position with you before anything is ordered, and we can draw up and submit the paperwork if you would like us to.
