Fixing and Maintenance Guidance
Here, we've outlined the key information for installation and maintenance. For more detailed instructions, the full PDF is available to download from the product document section.
Installation
These fire safety signs can be installed via screw fixing, silicon adhesive, or double sided adhesive tape. Silicon adhesive offers a strong hold for uneven surfaces. Foam adhesive tape is ideal for textured surfaces, while thin carrier tapes work best on smooth, flat surfaces.
Maintenance
Maintaining the longevity and brightness of your signage is crucial. It is recommended that these signs be cleaned every couple of months with a soft cloth and a mild cleaning agent. Avoid aggressive cleaning methods that can scratch or damage the sign's surface. Following these maintenance guidelines ensures the sign retains its high visibility and effectiveness.
