A well-designed wayfinding system is an essential component of modern site planning—whether for industrial parks, hospital campuses, logistics centers, or municipal facilities. Wherever large numbers of people move about, routes must be clearly and intuitively identifiable. As professional signage specialists, we implement large-scale wayfinding systems applied directly to floor and wall surfaces using robust stenciling techniques—resulting in solutions that are durable, weather-resistant, and highly visible.
In doing so, we utilize existing surfaces—such as asphalt, concrete, paving, or plastered facades—as a medium for effective and cost-efficient wayfinding, entirely without the need for elaborate signage systems or structural modifications.
Why stenciling?
Using custom-made stencils, we apply arrows, text, pictograms, and logos to a wide variety of surfaces with millimeter precision. We use durable single-component (1K) or two-component (2K) paints that remain clearly legible even under heavy stress—whether from weather, mechanical wear, or cleaning.
A major advantage: the stencils can be used multiple times as needed—ideal for batch marking or recurring symbols such as directional arrows or warning signs.
Flooring as a communication surface – orientation underfoot
Floor markings are particularly effective because they are directly within the field of vision of people on the move. Without needing to actively read, people intuitively follow the symbols or directional arrows on the floor. Typical applications:
- Routing on access roads, parking areas, or operational paths
- Delineation of pedestrian and vehicle areas
- Pictograms for parking spaces, charging stations, bicycle zones, and delivery zones.
- Marking of rescue routes, assembly points, or escape corridors
Especially for outdoor areas, a slip-resistant, UV-resistant, and abrasion-resistant finish is essential—which is why we use high-quality materials designed for long-term durability.
Wall lettering with long-range visibility – ideal for firewalls and gables
Vertical surfaces—especially those in elevated positions, such as firewalls, hall facades, or gable walls—offer enormous potential as wayfinding aids. Large-format stenciled lettering serves as visual reference points that are visible even from a great distance.
This is particularly helpful for making parts of a building (e.g., "Hall 4"), access points (e.g., "North Entrance"), or functional areas (e.g., "Emergency Department," "Visitor Parking") visible at an early stage—even before arriving at the location in question.
Using stencil technology, we implement designs that are both functional and aligned with your brand—whether neutral, featuring a logo, or in your corporate colors.
Safety signage and warning signs – a requirement and a source of guidance rolled into one
Warning signs, safety symbols, and hazard symbols are key components of many guidance systems. These can be applied particularly effectively and durably using stencils—in exact accordance with applicable standards (e.g., ASR A1.3, ISO 7010, or DIN EN ISO 7010).
Typical applications for warning and safety signage:
- 🔺 Warning: Forklift traffic / Crossing traffic
- ⚠️ Risk of slipping when wet / on slopes
- 🔥 Marking of fire safety zones or fire extinguishers
- 🏃♂️ Escape route pictograms and directional arrows for evacuation
- 🚫 No Entry / Hazardous Materials Area / Unauthorized Personnel Prohibited
- ✅ Marking of emergency exits, first-aid points, or assembly points
Unlike printed stickers or mounted signs, stenciled warning markings are permanent, difficult to remove, and exceptionally durable—making them ideal for high-traffic areas such as warehouses, loading zones, or production areas.
