Building & shop signs

Built-up 3D letters.

Give your name and logo a three-dimensional finish with individually fabricated letters for shopfronts, offices and reception areas. We help you choose the scale, finish and mounting around the building and the way people approach it.

Letters with depth. A frontage with presence.

Built-up letters have a face and returns that create a hollow, three-dimensional form. They differ from flat-cut letters mounted on spacers, even though both can stand away from a wall. The choice affects the appearance, fixing detail and possible lighting options. Bring your logo and a frontage photograph so we can discuss which construction suits the lettering.

Make it work for your project.

01

Non-illuminated letters for depth and shadow in daylight

02

Face-lit or halo-lit options, subject to construction and site conditions

03

Individual letters on a suitable wall or mounted to a backing panel

Considered design. Planned installation.

The right specification.

Letter height, stroke width and spacing need to work together. Fine details in a logo may need adapting for fabrication, while a long business name may need a different layout to remain readable. A sample finish and elevation drawing are useful ways to agree the appearance before production.

Ready for the site.

We assess the mounting surface, access and fixing arrangement before installation is agreed. Illuminated work also needs a suitable electrical supply and an agreed connection method. Any permissions should be resolved before manufacture; the absence of a backing panel does not automatically remove consent requirements.

Let’s get your project started.

Send the details below to our Norwich team. We will discuss the specification, artwork and completion date before preparing your quotation.

  • Frontage photographs and approximate overall dimensions
  • Vector logo files, preferred finish and lighting ideas
  • Site postcode, access details and any landlord conditions

From brief to finished display.

  1. Share your requirements, photographs and intended date.
  2. Agree the quoted items, material specification and delivery or fitting arrangements.
  3. Check the artwork, wording and dimensions before approving production.
  4. Arrange collection, delivery or installation as agreed.

Your questions. Answered.

Are built-up letters the same as flat-cut letters?

No. Built-up letters have formed depth; flat-cut letters are cut from sheet material. We can compare the two against your artwork and budget.

Can the letters be illuminated?

Lighting can be incorporated into suitable designs. The letter size, construction, wiring route and site conditions determine the available options.

Can you match our brand colour?

Send your colour references and existing brand guidelines. We can discuss available painted, film or material finishes and how to approve the closest suitable match.

A little more guidance.
