POPULAR Wayfinding SIGN PRODUCTS

Directional

Large or complex buildings, especially with multiple floors, can benefit from a directional wayfinding sign. As the name implies, directional wayfinding signs help provide directions. Directional signage works either by using arrows to point in a particular direction, listing room or office numbers, or specifying what’s on each floor of a building.

Informational

Sometimes simple directions aren’t enough to help people navigate a building. Information wayfinding signs provide extra information about aspects of the building to further clue in visitors on how to get to what they’re looking for.

For instance, an informational sign might provide information about certain amenities or facilities available in the building and where to find them. These signs may list the hours of operation of a certain service, provide information about an exhibit, or even make an announcement regarding a particular space.

Identification

Once a visitor has reached their destination, they may be greeted by an identification wayfinding sign. Identification signs confirm to the visitor they are at the right place. Examples include a door plaque mentioning the room number or name, the floor number listed outside an elevator, or names of classroom buildings.

Identification signs can give visitors confidence knowing they’re on the correct floor of a building or are about to enter the correct room. These signs can also function as a guide to locate the correct location in a building if they end up arriving at the wrong location initially.

ADA Signs

ADA wayfinding signs are a special type of sign in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The goal of this type of sign is not only to direct and inform visitors but also to make a building more accessible to those with disabilities.

Examples of ADA wayfinding signs include signs with braille for the visually impaired, restroom signs specifying wheelchair accessibility, and use of picograms to communicate to visitors who may not be able to read or who have a language barrier.

Regulatory Signs

Regulatory signs are a type of wayfinding signage emphasizing safety or enforcing certain policies. These signs might provide information about handwashing practices, warnings about wet floors or high voltage areas, or no smoking zones.

Ultimately, regulatory signs help enforce legal or business-wide regulations. They can act as a form of safety or as a preventative measure for any proposed hazards in a building for both visitors and employees. The simple inclusion of regulatory signs may even help keep a company or organization from being held liable for an accident.

With the affordability, ease of application, and benefits of wayfinding signs, it makes perfect sense to consider them for your business or other commercial building. Call Allmark Signs today to discuss how wayfinding signs can be useful in your case.
