Signage for Public Sector
Public buildings must be accessible to all citizens, and this sets strict requirements for signage. Wayfinding signs with tactile marking, braille, and good contrast are legally mandated under universal design regulations. Municipal offices, libraries, schools, and healthcare institutions need sign systems that are intuitive for first-time visitors and comply with TEK17 requirements. In addition, public development projects need temporary information signs that inform citizens about purpose, progress, and contact information. We deliver everything from permanent wayfinding systems in stainless steel and acrylic to construction site signs and information boards for parks and public spaces.

Tactile wayfinding and facade sign for municipal service office
Challenge
A municipal service office was relocating to new premises and needed complete signage that met universal design requirements, including braille and tactile marking on all wayfinding signs.
Solution
We delivered a facade sign with the municipal coat of arms and department name, wayfinding signs with tactile letters and braille on every floor, and an information board in the entrance area. All materials were chosen to meet requirements for contrast, readability, and durability.
Result
The service office opened with approved signage from day one. Residents with impaired vision report that navigating the building is easier. The municipality has used the project as a template for future public signage projects.
