French emergency "Fire Hose" with transverse crosshatch, sign in various sizes, shapes.

French "Boyau Incendie" - which translates to "Fire Hose" -with transverse crosshatch, sign of various sizes and different materials: Plastic, aluminium or self-adhesive vinyl. English signs also available when local regulations allow it. Two-face signs (V-shaped) made of aluminium and signs perpendicular to the wall (L-shaped) made of plastic are also available; of course, all signs for fire extinguishers are made of aluminium. You can select an optional UV-protecting lamination to preserve the colours longer; for superior visibility, you can add a retro-reflective pigmentation. Sizewise, 6”x9” and 8”x12” are the most common sizes sold, but any other format can be cut as long as a special order has been placed. Contact Sylprotec for signs in another language, for custom-made signs or if you want one of the options listed above.

The Fire Safety Act requires that any employer provides “all persons to seek to remove or reduce fire hazards by acting with foresight and prudence in that regard.” Although not mandatory, displaying safety signs is quite recommended to indicate the position of emergency equipment since it ultimately allows a quicker and more effective response. Sylprotec’s Emergency and Fire signs are well outlined and deliver swiftly the message you wish to spread that in any emergency, they will make one spare some valuable time regardless of their language abilities.

Choosing a sign depends on several factors which have to be included in the equation: the ideal material for your work place, the distance at which the sign will be seen which pins down the size of signs, the way the work environment is shaped which determines the format of signs –let’s say in a hallway, one usually finds an L-shaped sign, but in a wide room or at the junction of a T-shaped corridor, one finds a V-shaped sign since it allows an 180 degree perspective.

Plastic signs can either be displayed inside or outside. Please note that if your sign is exposed to UV-light, colours will fade faster. UV-protecting lamination will slow down the process of fading but the colours will ultimately disappear. Aluminium signs suit a better purpose outside; of course, they can be displayed indoor, especially in an environment where an adverse impact is likely. Self-adhesive vinyl signs work just fine outside but are better fitted for indoor places.

Please contact our customer service for any custom-made sizes or for English or bilingual signs. Allow at least four (4) weeks of delays for the reception of special orders. If you can’t find the sign you’re looking for, call us and we’ll customize our products accordingly.
