Signage and wayfinding
Outdoor signage needs to be legible, properly supported and straightforward to maintain. Albion can manufacture a single fingerpost or noticeboard, as well as repeat signs and coordinated wayfinding for a wider site.
Products & options
Specified for the job.
These are typical examples rather than a fixed catalogue. Sizes, timber sections, details and components are agreed before manufacture.
- Fingerposts and directional arms
- Ladder signs and estate directories
- Waymarkers and trail markers
- Lecterns and interpretation-board structures
- Noticeboards and information displays
- Lettering, layouts and mounting arrangements where available
Design considerations
The location affects the construction.
Exposure, ground conditions, access and intended use influence the material and detailing. These points are resolved before timber is ordered.
- 01Viewing distance, hierarchy and amount of information
- 02Existing sign families, landscape character and planning context
- 03Ground fixing, post spacing and exposure
- 04Future replacement of panels, arms or lettering
- 05Accessible positioning and clear pedestrian routes
Materials & construction
The material must suit the work.
Timber, panel material, lettering method and exterior-grade fixings are specified for the location and expected exposure. Information panels, sign arms and other components can be made replaceable where the brief requires it.
Traditional joinery is used where it provides the right result, alongside accurate modern machining and production control. Joints, fixings and replaceable components are selected for outdoor exposure, inspection and future repair.
