Interior & Wayfinding Signs
Clarity that stops wrong turns
Strategic signage networks that guide movement through complex environments using hierarchy, consistency, and intuitive visual language for spatial orientation.

Service Overview
Navigation by Design, Not Chance
We design and implement wayfinding systems for commercial buildings, campuses, and facilities where clear navigation directly impacts operational efficiency.
Ninety Nine Advertising LLC delivers wayfinding solutions for environments with multiple destinations, user types, or access points. Our systems establish visual hierarchies that reduce confusion and support independent navigation. We coordinate with architects and facility managers to integrate signage into spatial design, ensuring consistency across directories, markers, and identification elements.
Scope of Service
Guide People Without Confusion
We own design, planning, fabrication, and on-site delivery for reception signage and internal wayfinding systems
Spatial Mapping & Audit
We handle space-aware layouts, message hierarchy, and artwork files, delivered as an approved, complete wayfinding pack
Site Survey & Planning
We manage on-site survey, mounting constraints, and location mapping, translating conditions into a clear execution plan

Production & Installation
We deliver fabricated reception signs and wayfinding elements, including on-site installation management and final handover readiness.
Access Coordination
We coordinate building access, security requirements, and scheduling with facility teams, minimizing disruption during working hours
Wayfinding Systems Deliverables
Elements That Form Networks
These sign types work as coordinated systems to guide users through environments, each serving a distinct navigation function within the hierarchy.
Directory Signage
Multi-panel displays listing destinations with floor levels, zones, or building references. Placed at primary entry points to provide orientation before movement begins.
Directional Signage
Arrow-based markers mounted at circulation intersections and corridor splits. Designed to confirm route selection and reduce backtracking through decision-point reinforcement.
Identification Signage
Room numbers, department names, or facility labels mounted adjacent to entry points. Used for final destination confirmation once users reach target zones.
Regulatory Signage
Exit markers, safety instructions, and accessibility indicators required by building codes. Installed to meet UAE municipal compliance standards for public and commercial spaces.
Overhead Signage
Suspended or ceiling-mounted markers visible above crowds in lobbies, atriums, or corridors. Provides long-distance visibility in high-traffic or vertically complex environments.
How Wayfinding Projects Are Executed
Five Steps to Coherent Navigation
Our Wayfinding Systems process moves from spatial analysis through user testing, ensuring navigation clarity and consistency across all signage touchpoints.
Navigation Analysis
Map user journeys, identify decision points, and assess existing spatial cues. Define sign hierarchy based on destination types.
System Design
Develop consistent visual language for directories, markers, and identification elements. Coordinate placement with architectural sightlines.
Component Fabrication
Manufacture sign elements with specified materials and finishes. Ensure modularity for future content updates and additions.
Coordinated Installation
Install signage at planned locations. Verify mounting heights, lighting conditions, and clear visibility from approach paths.
User Validation
Test navigation effectiveness from multiple entry points. Confirm sign hierarchy supports independent wayfinding throughout the facility.

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Common queries about services, permit timelines, and installation in Abu Dhabi.
Q: How do you determine where signs should be placed?
Vehicle graphics require DED permits through TAMM. Shopfront signboards need ADM approval. Building wraps and outdoor advertising require both. Indoor signage such as reception logos, wayfinding, and wall graphics typically don't need permits. We handle all permit applications, submissions, and approvals as part of our service—so you don't need to navigate the process yourself.
Q: What makes wayfinding compliant with accessibility standards?
A: Placement is based on decision points where users choose directions, visibility lines from approach angles, and distance from intersections. We map circulation paths and identify locations where navigation decisions occur or confirmation is needed.
Q: Can wayfinding systems be updated as buildings expand or change?
A: Yes. We design systems with modular components and consistent material specifications. New signs can be added or existing panels replaced without visual inconsistency. We maintain design standards documentation for future expansion phases.
Q: How long does wayfinding system installation take for large facilities?
A: Installation timelines depend on sign quantity and site access. A corporate campus with one hundred signs typically requires three to four weeks. Phased installations allow occupied buildings to remain operational throughout the process.
