Signbox Completes Design, Manufacture and Installation of Signage at Haven Point Leisure in South Shields

(PRWEB UK) 25 February 2014

Signbox has recently completed an extensive branding and wayfinding project at Haven Point, a new 17 million world-class leisure complex on the sea front at South Shields, Tyne and Wear. Owned and operated by South Tyneside Council, this development forms a key element of the regeneration of South Shields and the seafront to enhance the Borough's health, wellbeing and tourism offer.

Officially opened by His Royal Highness The Duke of Cambridge on Friday 22 November; the inspirationally designed facility comprises:

The project comprised static internal wayfinding, branding, glazing manifestation and digital wallpaper. Signboxs modular sign system was specified as an elegant and robust solution for ceiling suspended directories, powder-coated and digitally screen printed with text and graphics on a Durst UV direct-to-surface printer. Various wall mounted signs comprised tactile and Braille lettering to meet DDA compliance. External signage included low energy LED illuminated and non-illuminated monoliths providing wayfinding and directory information.

The faceted architectural detail of the building was reflected in graphic elements throughout the sign design and within the glazing manifestations from 3M etched vinyl across the extensive glazed areas of the complex. The large bespoke monoliths were engineered to suit the exposed coastal location, with a specification for the structures to be resistant to the corrosive environment and all components hot zinc coated.

Mark Bartlett, Managing Director of Signbox, comments, Regardless of whether a specification calls for bespoke or off-the-shelf signage solutions, the success of a scheme is dependent on a collaborative process with our project managers working closely with the contractor, architect and designer to understand the form and function of a building. We were delighted to work with LA Architects on this project, from initial specification to successful completion.
