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 Forres
- Ground-floor shops in Forres can mount 10 mm metal letters on stand-offs over a painted fascia, getting depth for less.
- A serviced office or co-working space in Forres may want a crisp reception name that can change as tenants move on.
- Companies hosting clients in Forres meeting rooms can brand the space with a flat-cut logo rather than printed graphics that date.

Do you need permission for a sign in Forres?
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.
