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 Nelson
- For a Nelson salon or studio on a modest budget, matte black acrylic on a pale wall gives a designed look without fabrication costs.
- A serviced office or co-working space in Nelson may want a crisp reception name that can change as tenants move on.
- Ground-floor shops in Nelson can mount 10 mm metal letters on stand-offs over a painted fascia, getting depth for less.

Do you need permission for a sign in Nelson?
Wales still uses the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations 1992, as amended. The system looks similar to England's, with some signs allowed under deemed consent and others needing express consent from the council, but the details differ, so we check with the local planning authority rather than assume English limits apply. On a listed building, listed building consent is usually needed as well, and works without it can be a criminal offence. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare drawings and photos for an application, or submit it for you.
