Large directories, complex materials, illumination, or phased handovers may require additional time, depending on scope, approvals, and site conditions.

Technical Spec of Tenant Directory Boards
- High-Scanability Layouts: Consistent typography, spacing, and bilingual (Arabic/English) alignment ensure fast name and suite lookup for visitors.
- Scalable Capacity: Frames are planned with additional blank slots or expandable sections to accommodate future occupancy changes seamlessly.
- Lobby Wall Integration: Mounting systems are planned to align with architectural finishes (marble, wood, or glass), ensuring the board matches lobby sightlines.
- Durability-Focused Build: Utilizing 304/316 stainless steel or anodized aluminum to ensure the directory resists finger-marking and maintains a "day-one" finish in high-traffic zones.

Integrate Tenant Directory Boards with Other Signage and Wayfinding Solutions
Directories are the brain of your building’s navigation system. To maximize their utility, pair them with corridor directionals and room IDs that use consistent naming. This prevents visitor frustration and allows your facilities team to manage tenant changes across all signage layers simultaneously.




Frequently Asked Questions
Common inquiries about our products covering pricing, warranty and installation in Abu Dhabi.
Do I need to call you every time a tenant changes?
No. That is the beauty of the Modular Slat System. We design the directory with slide-out rails. When a tenant leaves, you simply slide out their old slat and slide in a new one (or a blank). You only need to order the new slat insert from us, which is a quick and low-cost process.
Can the header be illuminated?
Yes. We often fabricate the main "Building Name" or "Directory" header as an Internal LED Lightbox. This draws attention to the sign and adds a premium feel to the lobby, while the tenant slats below remain non-illuminated for easy reading.
How many names can it hold?
t is fully customizable. We can build single-column directories for small buildings (10–20 names) or massive multi-column boards for skyscrapers (100+ names). We calculate the height based on readability—ensuring the top names aren't too high and the bottom names aren't too low.
What finishes are available?
We match the directory to your lobby's interior design. Common finishes include Brushed Stainless Steel (for a modern corporate look), Anodized Gold/Brass (for hotels and ministries), or Powder-Coated Aluminum (matte black or white) for contemporary workspaces.
