ABOUT SIGNS & SIGNAGE

Exterior and interior signage plays an important part in all public and commercial buildings. Applications include safety signs, wayfinding signs, and signs to mark individual rooms. Outdoor signage requires particularly durable finishes.

A wide range of signage systems are now available, mainly based on aluminium or plastic panels.
