Approved Document B Wayfinding Signage (ADB)

Photoluminescent signage

Approved Document B Wayfinding Photoluminescent signage is an innovative solution to enhance fire safety in tall buildings by aiding fire fighting personnel during emergencies. These signs are designed to emit light after being charged by ambient light sources, such as fluorescent or LED lighting, making them visible even in low-light or dark conditions. They serve as crucial information to guide emergency services in finding your property or location in an emergency situation.

Here are some key benefits of photoluminescent way finding  signage for tall buildings:

  1. Visibility in Low-Light Conditions: In the event of a power outage or smoke-filled environment, traditional signage may become difficult to see. Photoluminescent signs remain visible, helping emergency services navigate routes safely within a building.
  2. Reduced Dependency on Electricity: Unlike electrical emergency lighting systems, which may fail during power outages, photoluminescent signage does not rely on electricity for illumination. This ensures consistent visibility of wayfinding  routes, even when other lighting systems are unavailable.
  3. Cost-Effective Solution: Installing photoluminescent escape signage can be a cost-effective alternative to traditional emergency lighting systems. They require minimal maintenance and have a longer lifespan, contributing to lower operational costs over time.
  4. Compliance with Safety Regulations: Compliant with Approved Document B (ADB) and in accordance with Fire Safety England Regulations. All our signage is manufactured in accordance with ADB standards to the recommended font, size and contrasting details.
  5. Enhanced Fire Fighting Efficiency: By clearly marking way finding routes, photoluminescent signage can expedite the assistance of the Fire Fighting Service during emergencies. Reducing the seek and find times, reducing confusion and help save lives when every second counts. Environmentally Friendly: Photoluminescent materials used in these signs are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. They do not contain hazardous chemicals or emit harmful substances, making them a sustainable choice for building safety applications. Due to the degradation rates of photoluminescent materials, with 0.01 degradation over 20 years our signage is likely to last the lifetime of any building.

Overall, photoluminescent way finding signage is an effective and practical solution for tall buildings to enhance fire safety and facilitate  emergency services. By providing clear guidance and visibility in challenging conditions, these signs play a crucial role in protecting your building and minimising risks during fire incidents.

General Fire Safety Signage

When it comes to fire safety signage, ensuring clear visibility and using cost-effective, quality materials is crucial for both compliance and safety. Here are some considerations:

  1. Visibility and Legibility: Signage should be easily visible and legible from a distance and under different lighting conditions. This means using bold fonts, contrasting colors (such as white text on a red background), and clear symbols/icons that universally convey the message.
  2. Materials: Opt for durable materials that withstand various environmental conditions and wear. Common materials for fire safety signage include PVC, acrylic, aluminum, and photoluminescent materials. PVC and acrylic are cost-effective options, while aluminum offers durability and is suitable for outdoor use.
  3. Compliance: Ensure that the signage meets relevant safety standards and regulations. Different jurisdictions may have specific requirements regarding the size, color, and content of fire safety signage. It’s essential to stay updated on these regulations to avoid fines and ensure safety.
  4. Cost-effectiveness: While quality is paramount, it’s also essential to consider cost-effectiveness. Look for materials and manufacturing processes that balance quality with affordability. Bulk purchasing or sourcing from reputable suppliers can also help reduce costs.
  5. Maintenance: Choose materials that are easy to clean and maintain. Regular inspection and upkeep of signage are necessary to ensure continued visibility and effectiveness in an emergency.
  6. Customization: Consider customizing signage to suit specific requirements or environments. This could include adding additional text or symbols relevant to your facility’s layout or hazards.
  7. Placement: Install signage in prominent locations where they can be easily seen by occupants and emergency responders. Ensure that signage is not obstructed by objects or obscured by poor lighting.

By prioritising visibility, quality materials, and cost-effectiveness, you can effectively communicate fire safety information and enhance emergency preparedness in your facility.
