Fire Exit & Evacuation Signs

Fire Exit & Evacuation Signs provide clear guidance to emergency exits, escape routes and evacuation points during an emergency. Also known as fire exit signs, emergency exit signs or evacuation route signs, they help occupants quickly identify the safest route to leave a building.

These signs are widely used in offices, warehouses, factories, schools, hospitals, hotels, retail premises and public buildings where effective emergency evacuation procedures are essential.

Typical installation locations include fire exits, escape routes, stairwells, corridors, emergency doors, final exits and assembly point routes.

Available in self-adhesive vinyl, rigid plastic, aluminium and photoluminescent glow in the dark materials, many of our fire exit and evacuation signs are manufactured in the UK for excellent visibility, durability and long-term performance.
