LAIDLAW SIGNAGE SERVICE Shown below are just some of the types of signage we are able to offer. If you have a specific requirement such as illuminated or electronic signage please contact your Laidlaw Technical Representative for further information or to discuss your project.
Custom Made and Comprehensive The signage requirement within buildings can be very extensive, particularly in larger building complexes such as hospitals and universities where they form an essential element in the operation of the facility. Within the Laidlaw signage range we have the ability to custom make internal and external signage either to a specific design or using standard modular systems. In principle, any signage that you require can be achieved, ranging from a single individual memorial plaque up to large scale fabricated letters or numbers. Modular Systems Where large numbers of 'directory' type signs are required, or where signs may need to be changeable for whatever reason, a modular sign system may be appropriate. We are able to produce signs using a number of standard modular sign systems including the Slatz directory system which utilises wall fixed, freestanding or suspended carriers and slide in inserts. A Variety of Techniques Signs can be produced using any number of techniques and materials including metals, plastics, and glass. The techniques we are able to use include • Cut-out and fabricated letters and numbers • Cast effect signs • Laser profiling • Etching and engraving • Screen printing • Computer graphics • Stove enamelling • Tactile and braille signage • Dual language signs (e.g Welsh & English)
Colours and finishes We can produce finishes in aluminium and stainless steel to match other fittings used within the building. Colours can be matched or supplied in any standard RAL, BS or Pantone colour.
10 YEAR GUARANTEE Guarantee The products described within this publication are subject to a 10 year guarantee as standard assuming normal wear and tear. Conditions and usage must be according to our recommendations. The guarantee does not cover wilful neglect or unskilled installation or any defects which were visible before the installation of the product but not reported within seven days of delivery. 2 www.laidlaw.net

SIGNAGE APPLICATIONS AND OPTIONS
Standard Products There are, of course, many situations which require common signage, on doors and their surroundings including regulatory signs for fire exits for example. We have a large number of symbols and signs in metal or PVC which can be supplied from stock. We also have a means of incorporating symbols into our Orbis backplate system using inserts in pull handle or lever handle plates.
Signage as a Feature In some cases signage can be used to provide a visual characteristic to a building. Signs can be created using glass or acrylic and can be surface mounted or projecting, mounted on vertical or horizontal surfaces.
Modular Signage The removable sections of a modular system are easily updated as required. The slide or push on sections can be engraved, screen printed or have computer cut vinyl applied to them relatively inexpensively. The systems are available in a variety of sizes depending on the application.
Disability Discrimination The use of tactile signage is a requirement of Part M2 of the Building Regulations 1991. It recognises the use of tactile signs and ensures people with visual impairments are considered under the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act. We have a technique for creating raised braille onto stainless steel signs which we can combine onto text or symbol signs.
