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.
Why choose tray signs for a business in Bargoed?
- Where several Bargoed shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.
- Clinics and salons in Bargoed wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Bargoed building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.

Do you need permission for a sign in Bargoed?
Putting up a non-illuminated sign in Wales? Some signs on business premises can go up under deemed consent, but the 1992 Advertisement Regulations that apply in Wales set their own conditions, which differ in detail from England's. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care, and a listed building usually needs listed building consent too, with fixings into mortar joints rather than the stone or brick face generally preferred. Our approach is simple: we confirm with the council what applies to your building before you spend anything, then prepare the drawings or submit the application for you if one is needed.
