Fire Hose Reel Signage materials specifications

Standard fire hose reel signage is crafted from Alucobond/Dibond, Acrylic or rigid PVC/ABS plastic; these materials guarantee you durability due to their weather resistant properties making the signage ideal for both indoor and outdoor usage. These signage materials also don’t warp, crack or bend easily giving the sign a professional look even in harsh environments.

The signage graphics (text and symbol) are either UV-printed using UV- resistant ink or made using plotter-cut vinyl so the signage lasts for a long time without fading.

Photo luminescent (Glow-in-the-dark) vinyl material is highly recommended for use with signs that are to be used in basements so the equipment can be easily located during a power failure. Photo luminescent signs absorb and store sunlight and other artificial ambient light and emit a visible glow in darkness. This glow can last up to 4 hours which is ample time for evacuation procedures.

Reflective vinyl material is often preferred for outdoor signs. This allows security guards or firefighters to spot the fire hose reel from a distance using a flashlight or vehicle headlights.

Reflective signs reflect back light from artificial sources like flashlights making them more visible. Reflective fire extinguisher signs are best for use for petrol stations, timber yards, parking yards and open –air warehouses.

Usage of fire hose reel signage

Most building install fire hose reels, but to make it easy to identify and use, a fire hose reel signage is mounted directly above or next to the fire hose reel to make it easy to locate, especially during emergencies. Here’s how it works:

Quick identification: Helps to quickly locate the fire hose reel during emergency situations where there’s low light or people are in panic-mode when evacuating.

Safety compliance: Fire standard protocol requires a fire hose reel to be accompanied by a fire hose reel signage.

Fire drills & Training: The fire hose reel signage supports drill preparedness for the workers or employees in the workspace making them always ready.

When a fire extinguisher is installed next to a fire hose reel, fire extinguisher signage and hose reel signage can be combined on one plate and installed above the two fire fighting equipment.
