Identify departmental areas.
Directory signs help visitors find their way around your building quickly and with less stress. When they match your reception and entrance signage, they also give your premises a consistent, professional look.
We focus on making directory boards easy to read and positioned where people need them most. Clear layouts and good materials mean visitors can navigate without confusion.
For sites where details change often, we can supply modular or interchangeable systems. These allow you to update names, tenants or departments without replacing the whole sign.
Examples include:
Office buildings – listing tenants or departments
Hospitals and clinics – directing patients to the right areas
Schools and colleges – maps and building directories
Shopping centres – floor directories and store listings
Hotels and leisure centres – wayfinding for guests
We offer wall-mounted, freestanding and digital directory boards, with options in aluminium, acrylic, glass, wood and more.

Solution: Signs Express Macclesfield carried out a full survey and, using floor plans, designed and installed strategically placed wayfinding signs, including “You Are Here” maps and floor directories. The new signage was carefully matched in colour, texture, finish, and font to blend seamlessly with existing signs.
Result: The signs had an immediate positive impact, with guests using them straight away. The project improved navigation, enhanced guest experience, and received excellent client feedback.
