Looking For Top-Quality Building Signs For Your Workplace?
Make Sure You Buy From Us!
Choosing the right signage for your commercial property is critical to ensuring efficiency and accessibility for visitors while maintaining a consistent branding scheme. Signs help people find their way around, identify rooms, understand where they need to go, and recognise the businesses and organisations occupying the space. From the sign outside the main entrance to the room identification plates along a corridor, each one contributes to how a building looks and functions.
At Buysigns, we understand that different buildings have different signage requirements. An office needs clear room identification and professional reception signage, while a healthcare practice may require interchangeable nameplates and signs that communicate whether a room is occupied. Plus, schools, commercial premises, residential developments and public buildings all have their own requirements.
We supply a wide range of signs for buildings, covering everything from door signs and wall plaques to reception displays, directories, interchangeable signs and bespoke designs. With a combination of modern production technology and skilled craftsmanship, we create personalised signage that brings practical information and considered design together.
Whether you're updating an existing building, fitting out new premises or coordinating signage across several locations, we’re always happy to help you find the right products.
Building Signage For Every Part Of Your Property
A building's signage needs to work as a complete system. Visitors should be able to identify the entrance, find reception, locate the right department and recognise individual rooms without unnecessary confusion.
This is why it's worth considering signage throughout the property rather than treating each sign as a separate purchase.
At Buysigns, our range covers several important areas of building signage:
- External entrance signs and building identification
- Office door signs and room nameplates
- Reception signs and business directories
- Wall-mounted information and identification signs
- Interchangeable signs for rooms with changing occupants
- Toilet and accessible facility signs
- Directional and wayfinding signage
- Bespoke signs made to specific requirements
We offer different materials, finishes and formats, allowing you to select signs that suit the building's appearance and the information they need to communicate.
Our mission is to make it easier to source consistent signage for different areas of the same property, whether you need a handful of signs or a much larger order.
Featured Door Name Plates & Signs
Entrance Building Signs That Create A Great First Impression
The entrance is often the first part of a building that visitors encounter, and its signage should make it clear where people are and help them understand where to go next.
A well-designed entrance sign can also contribute to the overall appearance of the property. For an office, professional practice or commercial building, this may mean displaying the company name and logo in a finish that complements the architecture.
We offer a range of materials suitable for building identification and entrance signage, including aluminium, acrylic, brass and stainless steel.
Each material has a different appearance. Acrylic and Perspex can provide a clean, contemporary finish, while brass offers a more traditional look. Stainless steel and aluminium are useful options for businesses seeking a modern, understated appearance.
Our bespoke sign service is particularly useful if you have a specific design in mind or need something that isn't included in our standard product range. We love working on custom projects and encourage customers to contact us if they need a particular size, material or layout.
Professional Office Door Signs
Office door signs are among the most frequently used forms of internal building signage. They identify individual rooms, departments and staff members, helping employees and visitors navigate the workplace.
A consistent approach to door signage can also make a building feel more organised. Rather than using different styles and materials throughout the premises, you can choose a coordinated range that reflects your business identity.
At Buysigns, we supply several types of office door signs, including:
- Aluminium door signs
- Acrylic and Perspex office door signs
- Frosted acrylic door signs
- Engraved brass signs
- Stainless steel engraved business signs
- Room name and number signs
These options allow you to choose a finish that suits your interior. For example, acrylic signs can work well in contemporary offices, while engraved metal signs may be more appropriate for buildings with a traditional or established appearance.
You can use the signs to display room names, department information, individual names or other details relevant to your premises.
And for businesses undertaking a refurbishment or moving into new offices, ordering a coordinated set of door signs can help establish a consistent appearance from the outset.
Reception Signs And Building Directories
Reception is often where visitors form their first impression of a business. It is also where they need to find information quickly, particularly in buildings shared by several companies, departments or professional services.
A reception sign can display your business name and logo, while a directory helps visitors identify the organisation or person they need to find.
We supply reception and directory signage, including acrylic wall signs and frosted acrylic tenant directories. These can be personalised with text, logos and tenant information, with interchangeable options available for premises where details may change.
This is particularly useful for:
- Multi-tenant office buildings
- Business centres and serviced offices
- Medical and dental practices
- Commercial properties with several departments
- Shared professional premises
If you're managing a building where businesses or tenants change regularly, an interchangeable directory can be a practical alternative to replacing the entire sign whenever information needs updating.
We can discuss the layout, materials and information you want to display, helping you select a sign that works with the reception area's design.
Interchangeable Signs For Buildings Where Information Changes
Not every sign needs to remain the same indefinitely. In offices, healthcare practices, schools and shared buildings, staff names, room allocations and department information can change often.
Replacing an entire sign every time a detail changes can be inconvenient. Interchangeable signage provides another option, allowing individual nameplates or inserts to be updated while retaining the main sign.
Our range includes aluminium interchangeable office signs, Perspex signs, twin aluminium signs, slim aluminium signs and nameplate holders.
We also supply replacement nameplate inserts and additional nameplates, making it easier to maintain your existing signage.
These products can be particularly useful in buildings where:
- Employees move between offices
- Rooms are allocated to different members of staff
- Tenants change
- Departments are reorganised
- Meeting rooms have different users throughout the day
We can help you select a format that suits how your building operates. If you're ordering signs for several rooms, it's worth considering the naming system and layout together so the finished installation looks consistent.
Slider Signs For Room Status And Occupancy
Some rooms need to communicate more than just their name. In healthcare settings, meeting rooms and shared offices, visitors may need to know whether a space is occupied, available or currently in use.
Our slider signs provide a straightforward way to display changing information without replacing the sign itself.
We offer several designs, including curved aluminium slider signs, front-mounted acrylic sliders, customised aluminium sliding signs and acrylic room signs with vacant/in-use indicators.
These can be useful for:
- Meeting rooms
- Consultation rooms
- Medical and dental surgeries
- Private offices
- Shared facilities
- Rooms with changing availability
For example, a meeting room can display whether it is vacant or in use, helping employees and visitors understand its current status.
We also offer interchangeable in/out nameboards, which can be used where staff need to indicate whether they are available or away.
The choice of material and format means you can select a design that fits the building's existing signage rather than introducing something that looks unrelated.
Healthcare, Medical And Dental Practice Signage
Healthcare buildings have particular signage requirements. Patients need to find reception, identify consultation rooms and understand where they need to go. Staff also need clear ways to identify rooms and communicate availability.
At Buysigns, we supply a range of signs specifically suited to medical and dental environments. These include doctors' and GP nameboards, interchangeable surgery signs, room identification signs, slider signs, and more.
Interchangeable nameplates are especially useful for practices where several clinicians share rooms or work different schedules. Rather than producing a new sign whenever the room allocation changes, you can simply update the relevant nameplate.
Room Number, Toilet And Information Signs
Room identification is one of the most basic but important parts of a building's signage. Whether you manage an office, school, commercial property or residential development, visitors need to be able to find which room they're looking for.
Our room and door number signs can be used to identify offices, meeting rooms, individual facilities and other areas within a building. We also supply toilet and information signs, helping you identify shared facilities and communicate useful information to visitors.
For buildings with a large number of rooms, we recommend considering the complete numbering and naming system before placing an order. This helps ensure that the signs follow a consistent format and that the information is easy to understand.
Whatever your requirements, you can choose from different materials and styles, including acrylic, aluminium and engraved options.
Wayfinding And Photoluminescent Signs
In larger buildings, knowing the name of a room isn't always enough. Visitors also need to understand how to reach it.
Wayfinding signage helps people navigate corridors, stairwells, lobbies and other shared areas. Clear floor numbers, flat references and directional arrows can make a building easier to understand, particularly for people visiting for the first time.
We offer photoluminescent wayfinding signs made to order at our Devon workshop. These signs are designed to identify floors and flats, with custom numbers, ranges and arrows available to suit individual building requirements.
They use a photoluminescent face that absorbs energy from suitable natural or artificial light and releases a visible glow as surrounding light levels fall. No wiring or batteries are required.
Our current product setup uses a rigid 3mm aluminium composite backing with a photoluminescent film face. Signs are designed for indoor use in locations such as stairwells, lobbies and corridors.
Fixing options include double-sided adhesive tape or pre-drilled screw holes. For property managers, developers and building contractors, this provides an option for ordering floor and flat identification signs to a specified project layout.
We can work from a signage schedule or drawings, including projects referencing Approved Document B. But it's important to note that the photoluminescent film classification is not a fire classification or certification of the complete sign assembly. These products also do not replace any emergency lighting required for the building.
Choosing The Right Materials For Your Building
The material used for a sign has an impact on its appearance and how it fits into the surrounding environment.
At Buysigns, we work with a variety of materials and finishes, giving you more choice when planning signage for different parts of a building.
Some of the options include:
- Acrylic And Perspex: Available in clear, frosted and coloured options. These provide a contemporary finish for offices, reception areas and commercial interiors
- Aluminium: A versatile option for office signs, door identification and interchangeable signage.
- Brass: Suitable for engraved signs where a more traditional appearance is preferred
- Stainless Steel: An option for businesses looking for a clean, professional metal finish
- Engraved Plastic: Useful for room identification and information signage
- Anoprinted Aluminium: Another option within our range of specialist sign materials
We can also discuss printing, engraving, cutting and fixing options depending on the product you're considering.
If you're unsure which material would work best, speak to us before ordering. Our team can explain the available choices and help you select something appropriate for your building.
Bespoke Signage For Individual Building Requirements
Sometimes a standard sign doesn't quite meet the requirements of a particular building.
You may have a specific size in mind, need to incorporate a company logo, or want a sign that follows an existing design. You might also be coordinating signage across a building with unusual room layouts or particular architectural features.
This is where our bespoke sign service can help.
We manufacture signs in-house at our South Devon premises, using digital printing, vinyl cutting, laser cutting and engraving, sandblasting and CNC routing. These production capabilities allow us to work with different materials, sizes, colours and finishes.
We welcome enquiries for individual bespoke signs as well as larger projects involving multiple products. If you have drawings, measurements or an existing sign that you want to reproduce, these can help us understand what you're looking for.
We also provide artwork proofs for many personalised and bespoke products, allowing you to check the design before production begins. We love working on projects that require something a little different, so if you can't find the exact sign you need on our website, please get in touch.
