What is wayfinding?
Wayfinding signage helps people find their way through a building. It includes directional signs, floor directories, room and cabin signs, and nameplates. The best wayfinding is planned as a family, with consistent typography, colours, sizes and mounting heights, so visitors learn the system at a glance.
We start from the floor plan: where people enter, where they make decisions, and what they need to read at each point. From there we propose sign types and quantities, and produce samples for approval before full production.
Where it works
- Office floors and corporate campuses
- Hotels, hospitals and schools
- Malls, parking areas and residential complexes
- Name and number plates for homes and cabins
Material options
- Acrylic, aluminium, stainless steel and brass plates
- Changeable inserts for names that change often
- Vinyl and UV-printed graphics
- ACP and painted metal for outdoor directional signs
Lighting options
- Most wayfinding is unlit and relies on good contrast and placement.
- Edge-lit or backlit signs for key points such as reception and exits.
Finish choices
- Matte finishes that avoid glare
- Brand colours and pictograms
- Tell us at the enquiry stage if your project needs tactile or braille signs.
Care and maintenance
- Changeable inserts let you update names without replacing the sign.
- Clean with soft cloths; avoid solvents on printed faces.
What affects the cost
| Factor | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Number of sign types | Each type needs design and set-up |
| Quantity | Larger runs reduce cost per sign |
| Materials and finish | Metal and engraved signs cost more than printed acrylic |
| Installation spread | Many floors or buildings add installation time |
Common questions
How do you decide how many signs we need?
We review the floor plan, mark every point where a visitor makes a decision, and propose sign types and quantities for each. You approve the schedule before production.
Can names be updated when staff change?
Yes. We can design signs with changeable inserts so names can be swapped without replacing the whole sign.
