What is an interpretation panel?

An interpretation panel provides permanent or long-term information about a place, feature, history, landscape or attraction.

What is an interpretation lectern?

A lectern presents an interpretation panel on an angled support, making maps, text and illustrations easy for visitors to view.

What is the difference between a noticeboard and an interpretation panel?

A noticeboard contains information designed to be regularly changed. An interpretation panel normally contains permanent or long-term printed, etched or cast information.

Can you produce the artwork?

Yes. Leander can work with client-supplied finished artwork or help develop artwork from project information.

Can interpretation panels be tactile?

Yes. Cast relief and three-dimensional elements can be used to create tactile interpretation.

What materials can lecterns be made from?

Depending upon the design, Leander can manufacture lecterns and supports using cast aluminium, fabricated metals, timber and other appropriate materials.

Can you install interpretation displays?

Yes, installation can be included where appropriate.
