Frequently asked questions
What fires does a Type A extinguisher handle?
Type A extinguishers are rated for ordinary combustible fires involving wood, paper, textiles, and general waste. They are not suitable for electrical or flammable liquid fires.
Should I use Type A signs in an office building?
Yes. If your office uses Type A extinguishers as the primary fire safety tool, clear signage is required by AS 1319. This is common in offices, retail, and administrative buildings.
Can I mix extinguisher types and use different signs?
Yes. You can have Type A, Type B, Type E, and wet chemical extinguishers in the same building. Each must be clearly labelled with its own AS 1319–compliant sign.
What reflective finish is best for a dimly lit warehouse?
Reflective grades provide different visibility performance. Choose the grade required by the project specification and site conditions, and confirm any road, traffic or high-risk requirement with the relevant authority before ordering.
Do you supply signs for mixed-use buildings with multiple extinguisher types?
Absolutely. We can bundle different sign types (Type A, B, E, wet chemical) in a single order and often offer package discounts. Request a quote for your full site requirements.
