Reducing Noise While Enhancing Wayfinding
In busy education, healthcare, and public spaces, acoustic panels play a crucial role in controlling rising noise levels that can quickly disrupt attention and overall user experience. At the same time, clear wayfinding is essential to support effortless movement and a positive user experience. Traditionally, we tackle these challenges separately: we apply acoustic treatments on one hand and signage on the other.
But there’s a smarter, design-led solution that brings both together.
A Dual Purpose System That Works Harder for Your Space
Acoustic wall panels with integrated signage combine high performing sound absorption materials with clear, durable graphics. The result is a product that supports both visual communication and user comfort.
Instead of occupying additional wall space or interrupting interior design lines, we incorporate the signage directly onto acoustic panels, either through printed finishes, applied graphics, or flat cut letters.
This makes it ideal for schools and colleges, open plan offices, healthcare settings and community spaces. Anywhere that experiences both noise and foot traffic benefits from this approach.
Why Choose Integrated Acoustic panels with Signage?
Improved Comfort
The panels reduce reverberation and echo, helping create calmer, more productive spaces
Clean Aesthetic
By merging signage with wall panels, you eliminate visual clutter and achieve a seamless interior design.
Efficiency of Space
Perfect for narrow corridors, classrooms, offices, and reception areas where every inch matters.
Flexible Design
Available in a wide range of fabrics, colours, print finishes, and edge details, allowing complete customisation to reflect brand, theme, and content.
Durability
Manufacturers make panels from impact resistant,fire rated materials, making them suitable for demanding public sector environments.
Sustainability Options
Manufacturers can produce panels using recycled or eco-friendly substrates, aligning with environmental targets and ISO14001 commitments.

Where These Panels Add Real Value
Education Spaces: Acoustic panels can double as learning tools with maths graphics, inspirational wording, or school values printed directly onto the surface.
Healthcare: Wayfinding, room identification, or calming artwork can be combined with acoustic treatment to improve the patient experience.
Corporate: Brand colours, mission statements, directional signage, and acoustic comfort come together in a single modular system.
Hospitality & Leisure: Enhance visitor flow while improving ambience in cafés, restaurants, gyms, and open lobby spaces.
how norsign delivers acoustic panels and signage
Our process follows the same structured approach as all signage projects:
Initial survey
We assess acoustic performance needs, wall types, fixing requirements, and any existing finishes.
Design development
Our design team produces artwork, layouts, and panel specifications that combine wayfinding and acoustic performance without compromising either.
Manufacture
Timber acoustic panels and other panel types are created using CNC cutting or direct print to match the selected design approach.
Installation
Our installation team completes works efficiently and safely, using robust, concealed fixing systems to ensure longevity and cleanliness.
A More Thoughtful Approach to Signage
As buildings become more multifunctional and user expectations rise, signage is increasingly expected to do more. Acoustic panels with integrated signage offer a practical, attractive, and sustainable way to enhance any interior environment.
