Keep Clear Fire Exit Signage: Buying Guide

Choosing the right sign material

Seton’s range of Fire Exit Keep Clear signage comes in a variety of materials and finishes to ensure that you are able to find the perfect sign for the specific needs of your workplace.

Selecting a photoluminescent fire exit keep clear sign will ensure that in thick smoke or in the event of a power failure, the sign will be clearly seen by staff and visitors navigating the premises trying to find an escape route.

Our Xtra-Glo Premium Fire Exit Keep Clear Sign is particularly effective for areas where there can be poor light at times. This sign is a simple yet potentially lifesaving solution to the problems caused by the power cuts and thick smoke that can occur in the event of a fire. It is suitable for both indoor and outdoor installation.

Constructed from thick, durable aluminium with a high-quality photoluminescent covering, the sign discharges effectively in low light. It will stay illuminated for more than 24 hours, and recharges under the power of normal light in just five minutes.

Further options in the range include a Fire Exit Keep Clear Vandal Resistant Sign made from exceptionally tough material, that is resistant to naked flames, graffiti, sharp objects and weathering. It is a good idea to ensure that such a sign is securely fixed – our Security Fixing Kit is ideal for this. Once fastened, the screws cannot be undone with a conventional screwdriver, thereby avoiding any tampering with your sign.

Our Fire Exit Keep Clear Banner Sign is a large format banner made from durable PVC. It is ideal for use on construction sites and at large venues or outdoor events. Eyelets enable the sign to be simply secured with cable ties or specialist Elastic Banner Ties, meaning that the sign is totally reusable.

Fire Exit Keep Clear Signs and other emergency signs

Fire safety signs that display other information may also be required on your premises. By combining fire exit keep clear signs with those that display other information, such as a Fire Assembly Point Sign or Carbon Dioxide Fire Extinguisher Instruction Sign, any person discovering a fire will have all the relevant information they need to raise the alarm, fight the fire and initiate an evacuation.

Safety sign placement and installation

Safety signs should be permanently placed in an appropriate and prominent position in the workplace, which is why we provide a range of Sign Fixings to ensure that your signs stay put. Permanent adhesive is a popular option for customers looking for a strong and reliable fixing as it makes it possible to affix rigid plastic signs without needing to drill holes in them or the walls. The adhesive is both weather and UV resistant, so damage from the elements is minimised. Furthermore, it is easily applied to damp and uneven surfaces, and has exceptional sealing qualities – so much so that it can also be reliably used as a sealant.
