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.
Tray signs in Bangor: the practical benefits
- Where several Bangor shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- A modern Bangor retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- If your Bangor 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 Bangor?
Northern Ireland has its own rules: the Planning (Control of Advertisements) Regulations (Northern Ireland) 2015. As elsewhere in the UK, some signs on business premises can be displayed without an application while others need consent, but the limits are specific to Northern Ireland, so we check with the council rather than rely on English figures. Applications go to the council through the NI Planning Portal. A sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent under the Planning Act (Northern Ireland) 2011. We look at your premises before you commit and can prepare drawings and photos, or submit the application for you.
Covering Bangor and County Down
Yes, Bangor is covered, as is the rest of County Down. For signs that are fixed to a wall or wired in, we arrange a visit to survey first. For window film, lettering or vehicle graphics, a set of photos with measurements is often all we need to put a price together.
