Floor X (Specify when ordering) - Safety Signs by Caledonia Signs

Clearly indicate a specific floor level within a multi-storey building, providing vital information during emergencies. The sign helps occupants, visitors, and emergency responders quickly identify their exact location, ensuring they can navigate evacuation routes effectively and communicate their position in case of rescue or firefighting operations. Clearly marking individual floors reduces confusion and panic, particularly in high-rise buildings, hospitals, hotels, and office towers.

The sign is essential because, during emergencies such as fires, smoke, or power outages, people can become disoriented. By specifying the floor number, the sign allows staff and occupants to make informed decisions, follow evacuation procedures accurately, and assist emergency responders in locating individuals efficiently. This contributes to faster, safer evacuation and improved emergency management outcomes.

These signs should be installed in lift lobbies, stairwells, corridors, and near emergency exits on each floor. Placement must be highly visible and legible, even under low-light, smoky, or power-outage conditions. Photoluminescent versions enhance visibility in darkness, ensuring the floor identification remains effective during blackouts or emergencies.

Using a Custom Floor X emergency escape sign enhances overall building safety by providing precise, organised floor-level identification. It supports compliance with fire safety regulations, strengthens emergency preparedness, and guides occupants and first responders efficiently during evacuation situations, reducing the risk of injury or delays.

Materials Explained

Below is a more detailed description of the materials this particular safety sign is available in. Helping you decide which sign option is most suitable for your application.

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.
