For the door signs, office signs and conference rooms one of the more popular choices is the WFL12U sign frame.    Also in brushed silver with grey plastic end caps, most clients typically opt for paper inserts for the office signs and door signs yet the WFL12U also accommodates all the materials listed above.  The WFL12U sign frame, for reference, has a vertical curvature and is 3″h x 10″w.

Vista System products are premium, anodized aluminum sign frames and come in two elegant finishes; brushed silver and black.  End caps are available in grey and black plastic as well as the two anodized aluminum metal finishes.  Most sign frames are available with both plastic and metal options while some have one or the other.

Using Flag Signs as Restroom Signs

flag signs

Restroom signs are just one of the many applications that projecting, or flag signs are used.  Flag signs are a perfect fit for hospitals, office buildings, universities, churches and numerous other locations.  The projecting nature of these bathroom signs makes identification easy in corridors or hallways especially when time is of the essence.  Because they come in a variety of sizes, you can tailor your bathroom signs to the surrounding area.  This particular sign is a vertically curved flag sign similar to the WBSB9 frame yet there are flat restroom signs such as the FSF1U as well as horizontal curved frames depending on your preference.

Paper inserts are typically used for ease of maintenance and cost effectiveness however, the entire line of curved and flat flag signs accommodate acrylic, PVC, vinyl and numerous other materials.  This flexibility allows you to blend or contrast your bathroom signs with your existing sign program.

Color choices include brushed silver, bronze or gold with metal or plastic end cap accessories.  They serve both interior and exterior applications and mount to any flat surface.  The brackets for the flag signs come pre-drilled to simplify installation.  They are typically mounted with wall anchors and screws and can be done with common hand tools.  Because of their modularity, flag signs can be used for other wayfinding applications allowing you to maintain consistency of your sign program throughout your building or campus. It’s a simple, cost-effective and pragmatic signing solution for all restroom and wayfinding needs.
