Tips on Choosing the Right Toilet Sign for Your Space

  • Written by NewsServices.com

Choosing the right toilet sign for your space can be a difficult decision. After all, it’s important to make sure that everyone in your building knows where the restrooms are located and how to use them properly. To help you out, we’ve put together this comprehensive guide on tips for choosing the right toilet sign for your space.

Understand Different Types of Signs

When it comes to choosing a toilet sign, there are several different types available. The most common type is a vinyl or plastic sign that is mounted directly onto the wall near the entrance of the restroom. These signs are usually printed with text or graphics and come in various sizes and colours. Another popular option is an engraved metal plate that is mounted onto a door or wall near the restroom entrance. This type of sign typically has raised lettering or symbols and provides a more permanent solution than vinyl signs. Finally, there are also illuminated signs that use LED lights to display text or graphics in an eye-catching way.

Consider Size & Placement

The size and placement of your toilet sign should also be taken into consideration when making your selection. For example, if you have limited wall space near the restroom entrance, then you may want to opt for a smaller vinyl or metal plate sign instead of an illuminated one. On the other hand, if you have plenty of room near the entrance, then an illuminated sign may be more suitable as it will draw attention from passersby and provide clear directions to those looking for restrooms in your space. Additionally, when deciding on the size, make sure that it’s large enough so that people can easily read it from afar but not too large to overpower other elements in your space.

 Choose Appropriate Graphics & Text

When selecting graphics and text for your toilet sign, make sure they are appropriate for all audiences who may visit your space. For example, if you own a business that caters to children, then using cartoon characters or playful fonts may be suitable, whereas if you own a professional office building, then using more serious fonts and images would be better suited for that environment. Additionally, try to keep any text brief yet informative so that people can quickly understand what it says without having to spend too much time reading it over again.

Consider Durability & Maintenance Needs

Durability and maintenance needs should also be taken into account when choosing a toilet sign, as these factors will determine how long it lasts before needing replacement or repair work done on it. Vinyl signs tend to last longer than metal plates due to their ability to withstand wear and tear better, but they do require regular cleaning to maintain their appearance over time. Metal plates, on the other hand, require less maintenance but may need occasional touch-ups due to their tendency towards rusting over time, depending on environmental conditions such as humidity levels. Therefore, consider these factors carefully when making your selection so you can ensure maximum longevity from whichever type of sign you choose.

Think About Cost & Quality

Finally, cost and quality should also play into your decision when selecting a toilet sign as these two factors will determine how much value you get out of your purchase in terms of both aesthetics and longevity respectively. Generally speaking, higher quality materials such as stainless steel tend to cost more upfront but will last longer than cheaper alternatives like plastic which may need replacing sooner due to their lower durability levels over time. However, this isn’t always true, as some plastics can last quite long, depending on usage conditions. Therefore, consider all these factors before making any final decisions.
