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.
Points in favour of flat-cut letters in Johnstone
- Small firms moving into a new Johnstone unit can start with flat-cut letters at reception, adding exterior signs once the lease is settled.
- A serviced office or co-working space in Johnstone may want a crisp reception name that can change as tenants move on.
- For a Johnstone salon or studio on a modest budget, matte black acrylic on a pale wall gives a designed look without fabrication costs.

Do you need permission for a sign in Johnstone?
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.
