Wayfinding FAQs (Frequently Asked Questions)
Are you interested in improving your organisation’s wayfinding signage but have a question you would like to be answered first? Check out our frequently asked questions below or call our friendly team to find out more.
What is wayfinding signage?
Wayfinding signage is system of signs, symbols, and visual aids that are strategically placed to guide people through unfamiliar environments. It provides directional information, identifying key locations, facilities, and emergency exits. Effective wayfinding signage enhances people’s ability to quickly navigate an indoor or outdoor site, minimising confusion and improving the overall user experience. By utilising clear visuals, universally-recognised symbols, and consistent design elements, wayfinding signs help people to orientate themselves to quickly find their desired destinations, and also improves safety in emergency situations.
What size options are available for wayfinding signs?
Wayfinding signs are available in various sizes to accommodate different environments and viewing distances. At Image Technique, our bespoke wayfinding signage solutions are designed to meet your organisation’s exact requirements. Large overhead signs provide excellent visibility from a distance, for example to help customers to spot a particular aisle in a supermarket. Smaller wall-mounted or projecting signs are suitable for close-up viewing, for instance to identify individual rooms in schools, hospitals, or offices. The size chosen should ensure optimum legibility based on the intended viewing distance, while considering factors such as the available space, lighting conditions, and compliance with disability laws.
Can I request a custom size for my wayfinding sign?
Yes, we offer custom sizing options to meet your business’s specific requirements. Our bespoke service is tailored to your needs, ensuring the wayfinding signs perfectly fit your space and viewing distances for optimum visibility, brand identity, and user experience.
What are the legal requirements for wayfinding signage?
It goes without saying that wayfinding signage should be legible from an appropriate distance according to its intended function and audience. However, where fire safety is concerned, directional or informational signage must comply with legal requirements to ensure that occupants of the building and Fire and Rescue Service personnel can read them quickly and without ambiguity. According to Building Regulations Approved Document B (Fire Safety), for example, the text on directional signage in high-rise buildings must be at least 50mm in height in a sans serif typeface. At Image Technique, we are familiar with the legal requirements for wayfinding signage in different buildings and can provide up-to-date advice to ensure you comply with regulations.
