Photoluminescent Fire Exit Signs

Essential Fire Exit Signage for Safe Evacuation

These photoluminescent fire exit signs display a running person symbol, a directional arrow, and "Fire Exit" text, clearly marking the emergency exit route. Ideal for public and commercial spaces, they guide people safely out of a building during emergencies. 

Since they are photoluminescent, it's recommended to position them near a light source, allowing them to "charge" and remain visible even in the event of a power failure, ensuring a safer evacuation.

Directional Arrow Options

Choosing the right directional arrow for your emergency exit signs is important for guiding people to the nearest exit. 

An arrow pointing down is meant for exits that go straight down, making it easy for everyone to see where to go. On the other hand, the arrow pointing up can mean that the nearest exit is straight ahead or straight ahead and going up. Arrows that point left or right help direct people to those exits, ensuring there’s no confusion when it matters most. 

Each arrow choice is designed to improve safety and make evacuations smoother. By selecting the right directional arrow from the drop down menu, facility managers can ensure the signs suit their building’s layout. This approach helps make it easy for everyone to quickly find the safest route during an emergency.

Importance of Safety Signage

Fire safety signs are integral to effective emergency management. Fire exit door signs serve as a visual guide, ensuring that occupants can quickly locate exits during crises. By clearly marking escape routes, these signs reduce confusion and potential hazards, facilitating a smoother evacuation process. In environments such as schools and care homes, where occupants may be vulnerable or disoriented, effective signage becomes even more essential.

Signs made from photoluminescent material mean they remain visible even when the power fails and emergency lighting activates.

If you need fire exit signage for an NHS facility, compliant signs are available. These signs feature a flame symbol along with the arrow and running person pictograms.

Further Fire Safety Solutions

Along with fire exit signs, it’s essential to have other fire safety products and signage to suit your facility's needs. 

Fire door signs are crucial for communicating the door’s purpose. For example, a rarely used store room might need a "Fire Door Keep Locked" sign, while a busy corridor with an electromagnetic hold open door closer will require "Automatic Fire Door Keep Clear" signs on both sides of the door. 

Fire door seals and intumescent protection play a vital role in slowing the spread of fire and smoke and provide essential protection in an emergency. To ensure your fire doors are fully effective, they should be fitted with fire rated hinges and other ironmongery as per your door’s test evidence.
