Hallway / Projecting Corridor Sign

Hallway and projecting corridor signs are essential for wayfinding, fire safety, and building code compliance. These signs extend outward from the wall, making them highly visible from multiple angles, even in long corridors. By projecting into the line of sight, they guide occupants, staff, and first responders to important locations such as exits, stairwells, restrooms, fire equipment, and utility rooms. In emergencies, visibility is critical, and properly installed projecting corridor signs ensure quick identification of safe routes and essential rooms, reducing confusion and panic.

A projecting corridor sign is mounted perpendicular to the wall, unlike flat wall signs. This design allows the message to be seen from either direction down a hallway, which is especially important in hotels, hospitals, schools, and large apartment buildings. Common examples include Exit Signs, Stair Signs, Restroom Signs, Fire Hose/Extinguisher Signs, and Utility Room Signs. Durable materials and bold lettering are required to withstand daily wear while remaining legible. These signs are an important combination of safety, accessibility, and compliance with ADA, FDNY, and local building regulations.
