How do we mount large pieces seamlessly and securely?

Cleats are one of our most-used mounting systems — a two-part interlocking bracket that lets you hang large panels flush against a wall while keeping them fully removable.

We use them for donor recognition walls, wayfinding signs, art installations, and anywhere you need clean, professional mounting without damaging your walls.

The concept is straightforward, but ex*****on is where it counts. The detail that matters: uneven walls need shimming — thin wedges inserted behind the mounted bracket to level it perfectly. Without them, even slight surface irregularities create gaps or uneven pressure on the panel.

It's a small step that separates a polished installation from one that looks rushed.

A complete wayfinding update that guides residents and visitors with ease, while carrying the warmth that defines United Active Living's brand.

We brought the system to life across four floors, including suite identification, directional signage, and floor markers. BOND Creative Inc. set the design groundwork, and we came in to lay out the artwork for print production. We also produced custom elements such as wood grain vinyl panels, dimensional lettering, colour-coded floor accents, and wall-mounted graphics.

Ever wandered a building hallway three times looking for the same room? Signage is everywhere — but wayfinding is what actually gets people where they need to go.

Parks, hotels, rec centres, corporate offices, and retail spaces all rely on effective wayfinding systems to make navigation feel simple and intuitive. When it's done right, it works quietly in the background as a trusted extension of your space and brand.

Planning wayfinding signage for a new build, renovation, or expansion? There's more strategy behind it than you might think: from mapping decision points and sizing signs correctly, to material choices, accessibility requirements, and keeping the whole system consistent over time.

We broke it all down in our latest insights blog. Whether you're just starting to think about a wayfinding project or deep in the planning process, it's a useful read:
