Features of the “Feu Boyau” sign for fire safety

This product is offered in several standard formats, such as 4" X 12" or 4" X 18", with the possibility of custom orders. It is available in French and, upon request, in English or in a bilingual version, in accordance with current regulations. The materials offered include durable plastic and self-adhesive vinyl, with options for UV-resistant lamination and retroreflective finishes for enhanced visibility. Wall-perpendicular models (L-shaped signs) are also available for corridors or narrow areas.

Installing the Emergency Sign: Simplicity and Efficiency

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

Plastic signs can be regularly cleaned with a damp cloth and mild detergent. For models exposed to direct sunlight, UV-resistant lamination extends color longevity. Self-adhesive vinyl signs are more sensitive to weather and should be checked periodically to prevent peeling. Regular maintenance ensures readability and compliance of your fire signage.
