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 Penarth?
- Businesses moving into a refurbished Penarth building can use a wrap-around tray to hide an uneven old fascia without stripping it out.
- An estate agent in Penarth may change window displays weekly but keep the fascia for years, which is where a durable powder coat pays back.
- Where several Penarth shops share a parade, a charcoal tray with white letters stands apart from the printed panels around it.

Do you need permission for a sign in Penarth?
Deemed or express consent? In Wales the answer depends on the 1992 Control of Advertisements Regulations, as amended, rather than the English 2007 version. A plain, unlit sign on your own business frontage is often allowed without applying, within limits on size and position, but the details differ from England's, and conservation areas call for extra care. If the building is listed, expect to need listed building consent too. We check with the council before you commit to tray signs, and can prepare the drawings and photographs or handle the submission for you.
