Keeping Properties Safe and Organized
SignWorks recently completed the installation of “No Trespassing” signs at a commercial property managed by Cushman & Wakefield in Sunnyvale, CA. These signs are a critical part of maintaining safety and order on-site.
Commercial real estate managers face the challenge of keeping tenants and visitors safe while ensuring the property remains clean, professional, and easy to navigate. High-quality signage plays a key role in achieving these goals.
Why Signage Matters
Signs do more than identify spaces—they help protect people, provide guidance, and support the property’s professional image. Proper signage can:
- Warn individuals about restricted areas or potential hazards
- Direct visitors to entrances, exits, and amenities
- Reinforce rules to reduce conflicts or unsafe behaviors
- Maintain a polished, organized appearance for the property
With effective signs, tenants feel safer, visitors know where to go, and property managers can enforce rules consistently.
Recent Projects for Cushman & Wakefield
Over the years, SignWorks has worked with Cushman & Wakefield on a wide range of signage projects:
- Sunnyvale Property – No Trespassing Signs: Installed durable exterior signage to restrict unauthorized access and protect tenants.
- Various Commercial Locations – Directional and Parking Signs: Custom-designed panels help guide visitors, prevent traffic issues, and clearly mark parking areas.
- Lobby and Tenant Signage Updates: Polished, professional interior signage that supports branding and organization.
These projects demonstrate how signage can improve safety, enhance navigation, and reflect the high standards of a professional property management company.
Materials That Last
Outdoor signage comes with its own set of demands. To stand up against strong sun, shifting temperatures, and other Bay Area weather conditions, materials must be chosen carefully. At SignWorks, we often use:
- Aluminum – Rust-resistant and sturdy, perfect for outdoor environments.
- Aluminum Composite Material (ACM) – A versatile option that combines light weight with solid durability, offering a cost-effective solution for outdoor signage.
- PVC – Often used indoors for lobby or tenant signs, providing a smooth and professional finish.
Choosing the right material ensures the signs remain clear and professional-looking over time.
Safety Signs Save Lives
Clear and well-placed safety signs are more than informational—they can prevent accidents and protect lives. For example:
- Stop, Do Not Enter, or Yield Signs: Help prevent collisions or wrong-way driving in parking lots.
- Emergency Exit and Evacuation Signs: Guide people to safety during fires or power outages.
- Hazard and Safety Reminders: Alert employees or contractors about required protective equipment or restricted areas.
Using bold colors, high-contrast lettering, and simple messages ensures these signs are easy to read quickly, which is essential during urgent situations.
How SignWorks Designs for Impact
When creating signs for Cushman & Wakefield, SignWorks focuses on three main priorities:
