When property managers commission interior directory signs in Oak Park MI, they make sure that visitors who are doing business with your tenants can easily find where they need to go. But, how do you know what directories are right for your building? We will take a look at what options are available in today’s blog post.
From the Simple to the Complex
As office spaces open up in your building, you will want to be able to easily change out tenant names. With a changeable directory sign, you can quickly update occupant names while maintaining a neat appearance.
You might consider a primary index that consists of an acrylic or aluminum frame and contains changeable inserts, a non-glare lens cover, and dividers. At the top of the marker, you would usually display your management company’s name and logo, the primary tenant’s branding, or the building’s name. Custom end caps dress up the look of any directory. We can also improve the appearance and functionality of the sign by adding LED lights.
Picking the Right Directory Sign
Once you have a good idea of what materials and style you want, you should consider your other customization alternatives, such as:
Messages – Engraved sliders are commonly found in office buildings that fall under the Class A rating. The property manager turns the slider denoting occupant names around when a tenant leaves. On the other side, there is an attractive message that advertises the space and provides contact information. We suggest acrylic inserts if there is a steady stream of businesses moving in and out of your facility.
Directory Widths – Consider a setup with a 50†width when you think you will need a sign with four columns of inserts. On the other hand, a two-column marker may only require about 28 inches. That being said, we are happy to customize your directory sign to the width and height that makes the most sense for your needs.
Insert Size – Smaller sliders may measure as little as 2†by 6â€. This is the perfect size when you operate a large facility with several occupants that need to be listed on your directory. The inserts can be up to six inches by fourteen inches when you only need to identify two or three businesses. The wider the directory, the wider the inserts can be.
Colors – Include your corporate colors into the overall design of your directory to brand your building. The colors you use in your other marketing materials should be found on your directory’s backdrop, heading, or frame.
Curves – If your directory only features a handful of names or departments, then a slight curvature could make reading the marker from afar easier. However, we suggest flat displays for larger directories.
