Frequently asked questions
What does 'No Powder to Be Used' mean on this sign?
It warns that powder-based extinguishers are ineffective and potentially dangerous for oil, liquid, and electrical fires. Staff must use the correct extinguisher type—typically CO₂ or wet chemical—to prevent fire spread and injury.
Where should I install this fire sign?
Mount it directly above or immediately beside the extinguisher unit it identifies. AS 1319 specifies the red panel must be visible from normal approach angles so it's spotted without searching during an emergency.
Which material handles kitchen or high-heat areas best?
Colorbond (aluminium composite) is non-combustible and resists heat exposure, making it ideal for kitchens and areas near hot equipment. Polypropylene suits cooler indoor environments.
Do you offer reflective options for low-light areas?
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.
What bulk discounts apply for multiple locations?
Automatic volume pricing is 5–9 signs: 8% off, 10–24 signs: 15% off, 25–49 signs: 24% off, 50–99 signs: 32% off, 100+ signs: 40% off. The configurator is the source of truth and updates the unit price as quantity changes.
