Wayfinding Signage
Wayfinding signage across Victoria, planned as a site-wide strategy, with tactile pictograms and braille to AS 1428.1, durable substrates and an ongoing maintenance program.
About Wayfinding Signage
Wayfinding signage has two jobs running at once, getting people to where they need to go, and doing it in a way that's legally accessible to everyone, including visitors who are blind or have low vision. The second one isn't optional. Tactile and braille signage is governed by AS 1428.1, which sets exact requirements down to character height, braille dot spacing and contrast against the wall behind it, and it's a legal requirement in areas like accessible toilets, lift lobbies, building entries and stairwells, not a nice-to-have.
Peak Install plans and installs wayfinding as a site-wide strategy, a consistent signage system across an entire building or site, not a set of individual signs added one at a time. That includes tactile pictograms and braille manufactured and installed to AS 1428.1, on durable substrates suited to the traffic and location, and mounted within the standard's required height and contrast range so the signage is actually compliant, not just close.
A building doesn't stay still after signage goes in, tenants change, rooms get renumbered, layouts shift. We offer a maintenance program so wayfinding signage keeps pace with the building instead of going stale and misleading people six months after installation.
Key Features:

Wayfinding Signage FAQs
What is DDA-compliant signage?
Signage that meets the accessibility requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act and AS 1428, including braille and tactile characters, luminance contrast and specified mounting heights.
Where do you install wayfinding signage?
Hospitals, universities and schools, shopping centres, car parks, office towers and public buildings across Melbourne and regional Victoria.
Can you install a full wayfinding system across a large site?
Yes. We survey the site, sequence the install in stages to keep the site operating, and coordinate with your sign maker and project manager.
Do you also install statutory and safety signage?
Yes. We install exit, fire, safety and statutory signs to the relevant Australian Standards alongside wayfinding systems.
How Peak Install Can Help With Wayfinding Signage
A site-wide strategy starts with mapping the building, not the signs. Entry points, decision points where someone has to choose a direction, and every location that legally requires accessible signage, accessible toilets, lift lobbies, stairwells, first aid rooms, get identified before a single sign is designed, so nothing's missed and nothing's duplicated.
Compliance is exact, not approximate. AS 1428.1 specifies a mounting height range, a minimum luminance contrast between the sign face and the wall behind it, and precise character and braille dimensions. We install to those figures directly, not a rough approximation of them, because a sign that's a few centimetres out of range is a sign that fails an access audit.
Once a system's installed, we can keep it current under a maintenance program, so a renumbered suite or a new tenant doesn't leave outdated signage pointing people the wrong way.
