Illuminated built-up letters are fabricated 3D letters with translucent opal acrylic faces and LED modules inside, so each face glows and your name reads clearly after dark.
What you gain from illuminated built-up letters in Antrim
- Conservation areas cover parts of many towns, so for an Antrim frontage we check face-lit letters are realistic first.
- With a photocell fitted, an Antrim sign switches itself on as daylight fades, even after staff have gone home.
- For an Antrim takeaway, gym or bar open into the evening, a lit name turns glances into visits.

Consent for illuminated signs in Antrim
Light changes the consent position. Under Northern Ireland's 2015 Advertisement Regulations, internally lit, halo-lit and lit projecting signs typically need express consent from the council, applied for online through the NI Planning Portal. A listed building usually needs listed building consent as well. LED modules and drivers run at low voltage, but the final mains connection is made by an electrician to BS 7671, who certifies the circuit. Councils commonly refer to PLG05 for brightness and expect steady rather than flashing light. We check before you commit to illuminated built-up letters and can prepare or submit the application.
Covering Antrim and County Antrim
From the middle of Antrim to the edges of County Antrim, the same survey, proof and fit process applies. If the job calls for someone on site, a visit is booked; if not, we price from photos, measurements and your artwork, then confirm the details once the artwork is checked. Antrim lies around 14 miles north-west of Belfast.
