What are the Different Types of Wayfinder Signs?

Monolith Signs. Hornbeck’s monolith signs, or totems, are tall and versatile, ideal for welcoming and guiding visitors in various settings. Customisable in metal or timber, they can include wayfinding, mapping, orientation, and digital information and of course can be illuminated if required.

Fingerpost Signs. Hornbeck’s fingerpost signs offer clear, reliable directional guidance, from classic countryside designs to modern styles for urban settings. Built for durability and visibility, they are ideal for enhancing accessibility in any environment.

Lectern Signs. Hornbeck’s bespoke lectern signs provide engaging, accessible information for any setting. Designed to be attractive structures with engaging interpretation, they can be supplied with panels angled at 30° or 45° ensuring accessibility for all viewers. Perfect for locations that need high-quality, durable signage.

Waymarker Posts. Waymarker posts, used since Roman times, are affordable and versatile wayfinding solutions. Often crafted from oak or recycled plastic, these waymarkers can be customised with engraved or printed details to guide visitors along heritage sites, long paths, and more.

Sign Shelters. Sign shelters are durable structures designed to enhance your site, offering space for display signs or notice cases. Available in single- or double-sided options, they provide lasting service and a focal point for your destination signage.

What are the Benefits of Wayfinding Signage?

Branding. Wayfinding signage can be an extension of your brand identity, incorporating colours, logos, and design elements that reflect your brand guidelines and visual language. It helps create a cohesive experience and reinforces brand recognition throughout your space.

Readability. Clear, legible wayfinding signage ensures visitors can easily understand directions, reducing confusion and frustration. Strategic font choices, colour contrasts, and simple icons make signs intuitive and easy to read for everyone.

Safety. Wayfinding signage plays a key role in safety by directing visitors to exits, emergency routes, and hazard areas. Well-placed signs can prevent accidents and ensure that people can quickly and safely navigate any environment.

Improves Navigation. Effective wayfinding signage streamlines movement within a space, helping visitors find their destinations with minimal effort. It reduces time spent searching for locations, making for a smoother, more enjoyable experience.
