Frequently asked questions
Is this sign suitable for electrical fires?
No. This sign identifies water-type extinguishers for Class A fires only (wood, paper, textiles). Water conducts electricity and is unsafe for electrical fires; use Type C or ABC-rated equipment instead.
What's the difference between colorbond and polypropylene for fire signs?
Colorbond is non-combustible aluminium composite, ideal for high-risk or outdoor environments. Polypropylene is lightweight and cost-effective for indoor areas but less fire-resistant. Both use fade-resistant inks.
Can I add reflective coating to this sign?
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 offer bulk discounts for multiple fire signs?
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.
What sizes are available?
Available sizes are 225 x 300,300mm. Viewing-distance notes are a practical selection aid, not a substitute for checking the approach distance, lighting, mounting position, wording and site risk assessment.
