General way-finding signs

General signage falls broadly into three types; 

Room Designation signs, Projecting signs and Non-Resident signs. Non-resident signs being designed to assist Fire, Agency and new starter staff, guest and visiting Maintenance Operatives. 

Resident facing signs are the most important of course as they support residents confidence, independence and mobility.

Projecting signs reinforce Resident Facing signs by making entrances easier to locate on a corridor or set back in an alcove such that the door sign isn’t visible. Projecting signs have the added advantage of being double sided so they are visible from either direction.

Clumsily named 'non-resident ' signs are smaller, less prominent and installed towards the top of a door to support new, temporary and maintenance staff to identify otherwise anonymous doors such as Storage, Electrical Cupboards and so on. 

Room Designation signs are an important part of a successful wayfinding strategy, but should not be used unless there's a genuine need, otherwise they just add to clutter and confusion. Installed in the right place and at the correct height (1.2 to 1.4M from floor level) Room Designation signs encourage confidence, support independent wayfinding and provide reassurance. To start your order, simply provide titles and quantities and we’ll provide a free-of-charge visual, and we'll only manufacture your signs when the visuals have been approved.
