Features of the “Boyau incendie” sign for fire safety

 This product is offered in several standard formats, with 6"x9" and 8"x12" being the most popular. It is available in French, English or bilingual versions, depending on applicable regulations.

Installing the Emergency Sign: Simplicity and Efficiency

Installing an emergency “Boyau incendie” sign requires no specialized equipment. Self-adhesive vinyl models are easily applied to smooth, clean surfaces, while plastic and aluminum versions can be mounted to the wall using screws or industrial adhesives. For L-shaped or V-shaped signs, perpendicular or angled installation is recommended to ensure lateral or dual-face visibility. It is essential to respect reading distances to guarantee the effectiveness of fire signage.

Plastic and aluminum signs can be regularly cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For models exposed to direct sunlight, UV-resistant lamination extends color longevity.
