Many owners, developers and property managers have embraced the need for clear and concise wayfinding signage, both externally and internally. There is nothing more frustrating for visitors to residential and commercial buildings than not being able to pinpoint the correct address or company office. This is particularly important for shared office blocks and apartments where there are multiple companies or residents spread across numerous levels. We have all found ourselves wandering along corridors looking at doors and trying to find our way around a maze of near-identical floors. It is often receptionists and concierges who end up on the receiving end of complaints from lost and confused visitors. Well placed signage is key to helping avoid any problems, and well-designed signs, using good quality sign fixings will give the building that professional finishing touch.

Quality Signage Adds a Finishing Touch to Prestigious London Apartments

BuySigns were contacted by the Property Managers of a new development of luxury apartments in West London, formerly an office building, this development comprised of five floors of apartments, plus a further two floors for penthouse living. Upon entering the building, residents are welcomed by an interior-designed reception foyer and lounge with a 24-hour concierge. There are also lifestyle facilities including a fully-equipped gym, sauna and steam room, plus a communal terrace lounge with an adjoining screening room.

With multiple floors and the additional facilities, signage was going to be very important, not only for residents but also for visitors and tradespeople. BuySigns were asked to supply engraved stainless-steel signage using lockable stainless-steel fixings for various locations throughout the building. You will see from the images below that the polished finish of the engraved signs required high-quality stainless-steel sign fixings to complement the engraved signage. For extra security and to stop anyone tampering with the signs, lockable fixings were chosen.

Happy Customers – Ensure Happy Residents

The property management company were very pleased with BuySigns professionalism, approach and the quality of the final product and finish. Price is always important, but the quality was one of the main factors for this project. BuySigns not only provided a competitive quote, but the overall look of the signs surpassed the expectations of the client.

What did the end-user have to say about the signs?

"BuySigns were superb. We gave them the brief and they supplied our signs to the timescale we had agreed. Our Concierge has reported a few residents and visitors have commented that the signs are very clear and looked great. When you have a new development, you want everything to look pristine and all the finishes to be high quality, this is the first thing many people see before entering the building, so it has to impress. It was a pleasure to work with BuySigns, from start to finish the whole project was handled very professionally. Thank you again." Maria, Property Management Company.
