Navigating a building should never be confusing. Whether it is a residential complex, a public facility, or a commercial space, clear signage helps people move confidently from one place to another. At SpeedPro Kelowna, we design, manufacture, and install wayfinding and interior signage that supports accessibility, aligns with current BC building code requirements, and improves traffic flow throughout your space.
We work on both new developments and retrofit projects, offering full-service solutions from our local shop in the Okanagan. Every sign system we create is custom-tailored to the space, the user, and the needs of the people who interact with it.
Why Wayfinding and Accessibility Matter
Wayfinding is more than just signs pointing in the right direction. It is about creating a thoughtful experience for the people using your space. This includes residents, visitors, employees, and especially individuals with visual or mobility challenges.
For many people, signage provides more than direction. It supports independence. When signs are accessible and easy to understand, users can move through a space without asking for help or feeling lost. That contributes to a safer, more inclusive environment for everyone.
Interior signs are a big part of this. Whether it is directional signage, room labels, or signs with braille and raised lettering, these small details can make a big impact. Interior signage helps people feel confident as they move through your space and ensures that everyone, regardless of ability, can find their way with ease.
Our Approach
At SpeedPro Kelowna, we take a practical, people-first approach to wayfinding. Every signage system we deliver is designed with both usability and accessibility in mind. That means meeting BC’s current signage requirements, including accessible layout, appropriate mounting height, tactile elements, and clear visibility.
We work closely with builders, property managers, architects, and facility operators to create signage systems that are functional, attractive, and code-compliant. We keep things simple, clear, and readable.
We also understand that wayfinding and interior signs are not just about function. It is part of how a space feels. We design systems that reflect your building’s character, support your branding, and help people feel at ease.
Key Features of a Quality Signage
Well-designed wayfinding and interior signage include more than just arrows or room numbers. It brings together a group of features that make the system effective, consistent, and accessible.
Here are some of the features we commonly include:
- High-contrast colour schemes for better legibility
- Tactile lettering and Braille for users with vision loss
- Clean, easy-to-read fonts (no decorative typefaces)
- Anti-glare finishes for readability in different lighting conditions
- Simple symbols and pictograms to help everyone understand at a glance
- Consistent placement and mounting height throughout the space
- Durable materials that hold up in high-use areas
These features make the signage easier to read, easier to follow, and more usable for everyone, regardless of ability or familiarity with the space.
Where Interior and Wayfinding Signage Makes a Difference
We design signage systems for a wide range of spaces. Whether it’s a high-traffic public building or a newly developed residential complex, each project comes with its own layout, audience, and wayfinding challenges. Our team brings experience across many sectors, which allows us to tailor signage that meets the unique needs of each environment.
Here are just a few examples of where our signage systems add value:
Multi-Family Developments
Clear, consistent wayfinding helps residents, visitors, and delivery services navigate apartment buildings, parking areas, and shared spaces with ease.
Commercial and Office Spaces
We help business owners and property managers create welcoming spaces with signage that reinforces branding while making it easy to find reception areas, meeting rooms, and exits.
Public Buildings and Government Facilities
From libraries and community centres to municipal offices, we design systems that support clear communication and independent navigation. These are spaces used by many different people every day, so the signage needs to be easy to understand and navigate.
Healthcare Clinics and Wellness Facilities
In healthcare environments, signage does more than direct traffic. It also helps reduce anxiety. Patients and visitors feel more at ease when they can move through the space without confusion. We design signs that are clean, accessible, and easy to use.
Educational Institutions
Schools, colleges, and training centers benefit from clear interior signage that helps students, faculty, and guests move around with confidence. From classrooms to common areas, we ensure that each sign supports a smooth and accessible user experience.
Designed, Manufactured, and Installed In-House
SpeedPro Kelowna manages every step of the signage process under one roof. That gives us full control over design, quality, and installation. It also means our clients get consistent communication and a faster turnaround from start to finish.
Here is how we handle the process:
Design
We work with you to plan a signage system that supports the way people move through your space. We make sure it reflects your brand, complements the building, and meets the current accessibility requirements in British Columbia.
Manufacturing
All of our signage is made locally in our Kelowna shop. We use professional-grade materials that are durable and visually clean. Because we build everything ourselves, we can accommodate custom requests, adjust quickly, and maintain a high level of quality control.
Installation
We do our own installations, ensuring that every sign is mounted in the correct location, at the proper height, and in line with both functional and accessibility standards. Nothing is left to chance, and everything is installed to last.
When you choose SpeedPro Kelowna, you don’t need to coordinate with multiple vendors. We manage the whole process so you can stay focused on your project.
Make Your Space Easier to Navigate
If you are planning a new development or updating information signs in an existing property, we are ready to help. Our wayfinding and interior signage systems are built to serve real people in real spaces. We understand how to meet BC building standards, how to support accessibility, and how to create signage that works.
We believe good signage helps people move more confidently, more independently, and with less frustration. That is what we aim for with every project we take on.
