Means of escape signs

Fire Exit and Exit Signs:

JALITE AAA fire exit and exit signs assist in the identification of the means of escape route and to be effective it is important that from any place within the building occupants have sight of a sign or series of signs, which leads them to a place of safety. The escape route identified by the sign should be the escape route with the shortest travel distance.

An exit route is the route of travel within premises that occupants are most familiar with, and is one that is used to enter and leave the building by. A Fire exit is an alternative route of travel, and one that is provided specifically for use in an emergency situation. These fire exit and exit signs are also available in sizes K (150x400mm) and J (200x450mm). To order these sizes simply replace the 'T' in the code number with either 'K' or 'J'.

Double Sided Escape Route Signs:


Sensible and pragmatic escape route signing recommends that for an escape route signing system to be effective, it is important that from any place within the building occupants should have sight of a sign, or series of signs, which leads them to a place of safety.

There are areas within a means of escape route that can prevent a person from fixing an escape route sign either on the wall or above a door. Examples of these are factory environments (as illustrated), floor to ceiling doors, and corridors which lead into open areas, indicating a change of direction.

These Photoluminescent Rigid PVC double sided escape route signs incorporate the internationally recognised graphical symbol for escape routes, and are an effective alternative to traditional emergency lighting systems.

How to order a double sided hanging sign:
  1. Quote the unique product size code of your choice, ie: 405DS T
  2. Enter the quantity of signs that you require, ie: 405DS T x 10
  3. Add '(R)' for Photoluminescent Rigid PVC, ie: 405DS T x 10 (R)
Hanging Kit
This hanging kit consists of two spring double hooks and two styles of fixings, for flat or suspended ceilings.

The spring double hooks enable you to 'stretch' the escape route sign to a viewing height that can easily be seen by occupants travelling within the means of escape route.

Product code: Zhooks/clips
How to order a hanging kit:
  1. Quote the unique product code, ie: Zhooks/clips
  2. Enter the quantity of kits that you require, ie: Zhooks/clips x 10
How to use the Hanging Kit
  1. Mark ceilings where the fixings are to be placed (as illustrated)
  2. Hold sign up to ceiling and duplicate the marks from the ceiling on to the sign - this is to ensure that the holes drilled into the sign correspond to where the ceiling fixings will be mounted.

Note: We recommend that the holes are drilled equal distance in from each end of the sign.

  1. Take the fixing appropriate for the type of ceiling you are working with, as indicated above, and position in place.
  1. Take rods and insert one end of each into the drilled holes on the sign.
  1. Take sign with inserted rods and 'hook' onto the fixing.
Note: You can also use this hanging kit for single sided hanging signs.

Viewing Distances of Signs:

Size Code Sign Viewing Distance Examples of Use
T 17m Small offices, small shops and factories
K 22m Large offices, large factories, warehouses and shopping centres
J 30m Large warehouses, distribution centres and exhibition halls

Safe Area Signs:

A quick evacuation in an emergency situation is critical. JALITE manufacture a range of emergency signs for the mobility impaired. The specific graphical symbol offers a clear emergency signing system which helps to enable the mobility impaired to get to a place of relative safety.

Escape Door Mechanism Signs:

The priority in any emergency requiring evacuation is to enable occupants to leave the building and reach a place of safety quickly. It is important that all escape and access door mechanisms provided for use in an emergency are clearly identified, and that the operating instructions are clearly marked.
