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.
The case for tray signs in Livingston
- Professional practices in Livingston, such as dentists, opticians and solicitors, may prefer a tray because a clean folded edge suggests care.
- A modern Livingston retail park unit with grey cladding suits a powder-coated tray matched to the window frames' RAL colour.
- An estate agent in Livingston may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.

Do you need permission for a sign in Livingston?
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 tray signs, then prepare drawings and photographs for an eDevelopment.scot application, or submit it on your behalf.
