About this solution
An office plaque is the smallest piece of identity in a building and the one people read from closest: the name on a consulting-room door, the office number, the opening hours at the entrance, the directory of companies in the lobby. In an office building, a clinic or an institution, plaques all made the same way — same material, same letter, same height on the door — are what makes the space look managed rather than improvised.
They are made in acrylic, aluminium, glass or wood, to suit the building's interior: clear acrylic on standoffs, with the text behind, for a clean look; brushed or anodised aluminium for a technical tone; glass for receptions and boardrooms; wood where the fit-out is warm. The text is engraved, UV-printed directly onto the material or applied in cut vinyl. For doors where the name changes — consulting rooms, meeting rooms, rented offices — the plaque has a paper or film insert under a clear cover, swapped without tools.
What matters in a plaque is legibility and fixing. Letters large enough to be read from the corridor, contrast between text and ground, pictograms where they help — toilet, exit, lift — and the same position on every door, at the same height, beside the handle rather than on the door leaf. Fixing is with mounting tape, on standoffs or with hidden screws, depending on the wall and on how often the plaque comes off.
It is best done as a whole set at once: door plaques, numbers, the entrance panel, the directory by the lift and the pictograms, in one material and one typeface, from the building's plan. Single pieces are made just as well — a new plaque for a new office, in the style of the existing ones. Together with the wayfinding signs, the plaques form the building's signage system.
Frequently asked questions
All frequently asked questionsWhich material for door plaques?
Clear acrylic on standoffs for modern offices where a clean look matters; brushed aluminium for technical buildings or institutions; glass for reception and boardrooms; wood for a warm interior — a practice, a hotel. More important than the material itself is that it is the same on every door.
How is the name on a plaque changed?
With an insert: the text is on paper or film under a clear acrylic cover that comes off without tools. The new name is printed — by us or by you, from a template we provide — and put in place. The plaque itself is not touched. For engraved or directly printed plaques, changing the name means a new plaque.
Can they go on glass doors or painted walls?
Yes. On glass and smooth surfaces the plaques mount on mounting tape, with no holes; on painted walls or plasterboard, on standoffs with plugs. On wooden doors they are fixed with screws hidden under caps, or on tape too if the plaque is light.
What should I send for a quote?
The list of plaques — how many doors, the text on each, how many with changeable names — the preferred material or a photograph of the interior, the company's logo and typeface if there is one, and a photograph of a door so we see what it mounts on. For a whole set, the floor plan helps with the numbering.
