Tray signs are fascia signs folded from aluminium sheet so the face turns back at the edges into returns, typically 50–75 mm deep, then powder coated and hung on concealed fixings.
Where tray signs can pay off in Westhill
- Professional practices in Westhill, such as dentists, opticians and solicitors, may prefer a tray because a clean folded edge suggests care.
- A modern Westhill retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- If your Westhill premises might open into the evening one day, a light-ready tray avoids paying for a second sign later.

Do you need permission for a sign in Westhill?
In Scotland, signs are controlled by the Town and Country Planning (Control of Advertisements) (Scotland) Regulations 1984, as amended. Some signs on business premises are allowed without an application, but the details differ from England's, so we check with the council rather than assume. Where express consent is needed, the application goes to the council, usually through eDevelopment.scot. Listed buildings need extra care: listed building consent is usually required under the Planning (Listed Buildings and Conservation Areas) (Scotland) Act 1997. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare the drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
