Built-up Lettering

Built-Up lettering refers to the method of fabrication commonly used for crafting large signage letters primarily from metal materials. This technique is especially popular for designing outdoor fascias and logos that are intended for long-term display. Each individual letter is fashioned with a laser-cut face, which is then seamlessly welded to a folded return. This results in a flawless join, giving the letter a robust and premium appearance. What's more, we provide the flexibility to customise the return depth, allowing you to achieve the precise level of projection desired. Depending on the material you opt for, we offer an array of stylish finishes. This includes the elegant shimmer of polished metal, the luxurious look of brushed gold and silver, or a paint job in any RAL colour that aligns with your brand.

Built-Up Lettering to Make Your Signage Pop

Built-Up letters add depth and interest to your signage and are a popular choice for the hospitality industry, shop front signage, and office premises. Built up lettering is an effective and easy way of adding visual impact to your signage, and making sure that you stand out from the crowd.

You can design your own Built-Up lettering or make use of our professional design service to ensure that you get the exact effect that you’re after. Not only can you determine the exact style of lettering and spacing that you require for your Built-Up signs, you can also control the height and profile of your letters for a truly bespoke signage solution.

We offer three material options for your Built-Up lettering signs: precision cut acrylic, aluminium, or stainless steel. All of these options are suitable for outdoor usage, and acrylic and aluminium allow you the option of creating lettering in colours that match your brand colours.

We supply all of our Built-Up lettering with fixings for installation and you can choose from a range of fixing options to best suit your installation needs. You can also opt to have your lettering installed using our professional installation service, a great option for complicated projects, or for installations that will require specialist installation equipment because of height etc.

In addition to our Built-Up lettering signage, we also provide face illuminated Built-Up lettering, halo illuminated Built-Up lettering, and of course, flat cut lettering.

Be sure to also check out our other signage products including tray signs, our great range of illuminated signs, lightboxes, neon signs, sign posts, digital signage, signage boards and office

This is the first sign we've ever had made, and Sign Supplier were very helpful and patient with us. We were able to chat through our needs on the phone as well as placing the order online. It was made quickly, and looks great on our new pottery studio.

I've had my trough lighting installed for several weeks now and they have made such a difference to my business throughout the dark evenings. They are extremely well made, and I have no reason not to believe that they won't last for years. I'll be back soon for more signage.

I enquired through the website about some 'flat cut letters' and quickly had a response back asking me further questions and offering advice as to what my best options were. Within a few hours, my quote was with me, and at reasonable pricing. I took their installation service too, which was extremely professional.

I ordered some acrylic plaques online for our school, and the quality is up there with the best I have ever seen. Perfect glass-like perspex, perfectly cut edges, high-quality print that is on the rear so cannot get damaged, and lovely studs. If I ever need more, I'll certainly come back here.
