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.
Practical reasons to consider tray signs in Aldridge
- Clinics and salons in Aldridge wanting a calm, premium look can get it from raised acrylic letters on a matt tray, unlit.
- Professional practices in Aldridge, such as dentists, opticians and solicitors, may prefer a tray because a clean folded edge suggests care.
- An estate agent in Aldridge 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 Aldridge?
In England, a non-illuminated sign on your own business premises usually falls under deemed consent, which means no application is needed provided the sign stays within set limits. The lettering and symbols should be no more than 0.75 m tall (0.3 m in an area of special control), and the top of the sign should sit no higher than the bottom of any first-floor window. Conservation areas and listed buildings need more care: a sign on a listed building usually also needs listed building consent. We check the position for your premises before you commit, and we can prepare the drawings and photos for an application or submit it for you.
