Frequently asked questions
When is a down arrow necessary instead of left or right?
Use down arrows at lift-lobby ground floors pointing to basement smoking rooms, balcony edges pointing to courtyard zones, or external walls directing smokers to ground-level areas below the sign.
How do I mount a down-arrow sign on an external wall safely?
Pre-drilled holes are standard; use corrosion-resistant fasteners (stainless-steel bolts or masonry anchors) and ensure mounting height is at least 1.8 m above ground to avoid head strikes in high-traffic areas.
Can I order three arrows (left, right, down) as a wayfinding set?
Yes—order one of each arrow direction and specify the quantity; the total unit count qualifies for bulk discounts, and you can mix sizes across the three directions as needed.
Does the down arrow meet AS 1319 when used alone?
Directional arrows are compliant under AS 1319 when paired with a main designated-area sign; place the down arrow at decision points and the full "Smoking Area" sign at the zone entrance.
