Ideal Heating
Site Signs & Shadow Boards Which Advance Visual Management
The Challenge:
Ideal Heating is a UK leading heating manufacturer, supplying new boilers, heat pumps, and heating controls to domestic, commercial, and industrial customers across the country.
With their main offices and site long established in Hull, we were tasked with providing various visual management solutions. This included area marker signage, shadow boards, and hanging signs, to help effectively brand and better organise one of their manufacturing zones.

The Solution:
Once we understood Ideal Heating’s specific requirements for their custom signs and solutions, our FASTSIGNS Hull design team were able to produce high-quality visuals, which fully met their expectations. From approval of the artworks, our production team got to work with the following visual controls:
- Branded Zone Cube: to be suspended with hanging fixings.
- Desk Front Foamex Panel Sign.
- Company Logo Foamex Signs.
- Top Foamex Panels: Lean Daily Management and Lean Corner x2.
- Boiler Assembly Station: Top branding ACM sign.
- Assembly Station ACM Tool Board: including magnetic tool holder strip.
- 2-sided ACM Cleaning Shadow Board with castor rollers: including area for dustpan and brush, sweeping brush, and wet floor sign.
- Ideal Heating "5 Golden Rules" Main Wall Foamex Sign Board.
- Ideal Heating "5 Golden Rule" Wall Graphic Foamex Boards.
- Ideal Heating "5 Golden Rules" Foamex Poster Boards.
- Magnetic Custom Printed and Branded Whiteboard.
- Foamex QR Codes.
This list shows the complete scale of the unique site signs project at hand, which would allow Ideal Heating to obtain visual workplace solutions suitable for their Hull location. Consistently branded with appropriate substrates utilised for cost-effective longevity, there are many advantages that this signage delivered for Ideal Heating:
Increased Efficiency: Custom signs and shadow boards help reduce the time spent searching for certain manufacturing zones, tools, and equipment. This streamlines processes and enhances productivity, by ensuring everything has its clearly branded, designated place.
Improved Organisation: By providing an understandable method for organising zones and tools, visual management solutions like tool boards help maintain a tidy and orderly workspace, which is essential for operational effectiveness.
Enhanced Safety: Well-branded and designed site signs help minimise accidents, by ensuring that information is clear and tools are stored safely for example, ultimately reducing hazards in the workplace.
Inventory Control: Adapting shadow boards and other signage makes it easy to identify missing or misplaced tools immediately, aiding in maintaining accurate inventory levels and preventing potential disruptions.
Ease of Training: New employees can quickly learn and adapt to manufacturing zone operations, as visual controls clearly represent specific areas and where tools go. This simplifies the onboarding process and reduces training time.
The Result:
The completion of this comprehensive custom signs project saw Ideal Heating integrate effective visual management solutions to their site. For instance, displaying the ‘Hamworthy’ branded hanging sign and shadow boards within their manufacturing zone allowed for maximising visibility as well as organisation, critical for a busy business like Ideal Heating.
Another in-depth, extensive project carried out by our Hull sign experts. Well done, everyone!
