Our Government and Municipal Metal Plaques
Directories. The lobby of a government office building is the perfect location for wayfinding markers. This is where metal plaques do quite a bit of heavy lifting. Looking attractive right next to elevator banks, they assist visitors with locating the right floors and offices. Since metal is long-lasting, buildings that are rented or owned by the government branch for long-term use are excellent contenders for this signage material. You actually save money by not having to replace your directories in the next five to ten years.
Door markers. Have you visited a courtroom, judge’s chambers or other room in a courthouse lately? Metal is the marker material of choice. It offers a dignified appearance, suits the frequently older structural design of these venues but also fits in perfectly with post-modern architecture of recently built courthouses. Here, the material fulfills two functions (in addition to wayfinding): fit into the décor and set the tone for the mood that is so prevalent in this type of setting.
Commemorative signs. One of the best uses for government metal plaques is the display of commemorative messages. Whether the building’s office wishes to memorialize a city founder, a federal politician or an event that is pivotal in the city or county’s history, metal is the right material selection. Display the plaque outside in a courtyard, on or near a monument, or even on the building’s exterior or interior wall. Raised designs or engravings provide ample choices for appropriate styles. The availability of enamel colors and clear coats protects this material from seasonal weather exposure as it displays its colorful appearance.
Office signs. Metal is also the material of choice for room numbers and the names of officials or representatives who are working out of these offices. Once more, it is the dignified appearance of metal that makes it a perfect choice. In addition, the simple act of engraving the name and then coloring it in with enameling actually makes this a cost-effective selection. Since officials and representatives usually remain in office for multiple years, the sign will look excellent for the duration of their terms and then makes a suitable parting gift for the office holder when it is time to move on.
