Frequently asked questions
Is this sign a legal requirement for my building?
Check your state's building code and fire safety legislation. Most jurisdictions require fire exit signage; this notice reinforces the legal obligation and deters obstruction.
Where should I place this offence notice?
Mount it on the fire exit door itself, on the frame, or on the wall adjacent to the exit at eye level. Repeat on each floor if there are multiple exits.
What material resists outdoor weather best?
Colorbond is non-combustible and weather-resistant, making it ideal for external fire exits or covered outdoor stairwells. Polypropylene is adequate for sheltered indoor locations.
Can I customise the text or add my building's name?
We offer custom text options on request. Contact sales with your requirements and we'll provide a quote and proof for approval.
How often should I replace these signs?
Inspect annually. Polypropylene may fade after 3–5 years in high-light areas; colorbond typically lasts 10+ years. Replace if text becomes illegible or material is damaged.
