Custom Floor Level ID Board (Space for Five) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

A Custom Floor Level ID Board (Space for Five) emergency escape sign is designed to clearly display the floor level, stairway and dwellings within a building, particularly in multi-storey structures. It provides essential reference information during an emergency, helping occupants, emergency responders, and visitors quickly identify their position and navigate evacuation routes effectively. By showing up to five floors or locations, it can be tailored to the specific layout of the building.

The sign is essential because, during an emergency such as a fire, smoke, or power outage, people may become disoriented or confused, especially in tall or complex buildings. Clearly displaying the floor level helps occupants communicate their location to emergency responders, reduces panic, and ensures that evacuation procedures can be followed accurately and efficiently. This information is also crucial for first responders who need to know the exact floor to reach for rescues or firefighting operations.

These signs should be installed in lift lobbies, stairwells, corridors, and near emergency exits in multi-storey buildings, hotels, hospitals, office towers, and public facilities. Placement should be highly visible and easy to read, allowing anyone in the building to quickly identify their current floor or location, even under low-light or smoky conditions. Proper positioning ensures that the sign is functional during emergencies and assists in safe evacuation.

Using a Custom Floor Level ID Board enhances building safety by providing clear, organised, and easy-to-read floor identification. It supports emergency preparedness, helps guide occupants to safe exit routes, and assists responders in locating individuals in need of assistance. By having a visible reference of up to five floors, the sign contributes to faster, safer evacuations and reinforces a structured approach to emergency management.

To achieve high performance in low light conditions and conform to ISO 16069 we recommend using Ultra Bright.

Ultra Bright Photoluminescent Rigid Plastic: Ultra Bright rigid plastic has a photoluminescent (glow in the dark) pigmentation which offers a highly effective, reliable, and energy-free visibility in low-light or blackout conditions, making them ideal for emergency exit applications. The afterglow properties exceed PSPA Class C grade, as measured to DIN 6751, provides razor sharp definition in blackout conditions.

Ultra Bright Photoluminescent Self Adhesive: Ultra Bright self adhesive vinyl is a flexible PVC with photoluminescent (glow in the dark) pigmentation. The self-adhesive backing enables quick, tool-free application on smooth, clean surfaces like walls and doors. The afterglow properties exceed PSPA Class C grade, as measured to DIN 6751, provides razor sharp definition in blackout conditions, making them ideal for emergency escape applications.
