Wayfinding Signage

Wayfinding signage helps people find their way through spaces, getting them to various destinations such as restrooms, exits, or a floor or room in a business. Wayfinding signage improves the user experience of an area or business by clearly marking routes or providing important directional information.

Our directional signs are crafted with high-quality materials, but the best materials depend on your usage. Outdoor navigational signage needs to be more durable and weather-resistant, therefore we use aluminium, acrylic, or reflective vinyl, which is better for low-light conditions. Indoor directional signage can be made from variable materials such as acrylic, vinyl or even wood. The materials used depend on the location, environment and specific design you want. Our team of experts will help you find the best one for your business needs.

Wayfinding signage offers a range of benefits, including:

• Improved navigation and user experience: With clear and intuitive signs, users can be guided through unfamiliar spaces with ease. This creates a smoother, stress-free experience, reducing confusion.
• Increased efficiency: Users will spend less time looking for specific areas, helping them reach their destinations faster.
• Enhanced safety: Playing a key role in emergencies, such as exit signs or evacuation routes, wayfinding signage ensures people can quickly and safely leave an area without the risk of panic or accidents.
• Professionalism and trust: Customised to match brand colours and fonts, they can be designed to fit the space’s professional identity. A well-organised signage system can also make a strong first impression, enhancing trust in your brand or space.
• Accessibility: Well-designed wayfinding signage with icons, tactile, braille, or audio elements can make spaces navigable for all individuals.

By using clear and simple language and symbols, maintaining a consistent design and placing your sign in a highly-visibility and obvious area.

The lifespan of your wayfinding signage depends on the materials used, the environment and the level of maintenance. While we offer high-quality materials that can last in any environment, you should regularly clean and maintain your sign to extend its life. This includes regularly wiping, checking for wear and tear and ensuring the legibility of sign graphics.
