Fire Exit Signs

Fire exit signs are also known as emergency exit signs and refer to illuminated signs that read “EXIT” and are placed throughout buildings to alert patrons of the closest way out of the building. Emergency exit signs have been required by international, federal, and state building codes for more than 50 years. Exit signs are placed above doors and throughout interior. Exit signs placed in corridors come with directional chevron arrows that are used to point patrons in the direction of the nearest exit. There are many different types of emergency exit signs, indoors and outdoors, electrical and non-electrical.

Photoluminescent non-electrical exit signs are also known as glow-in-the-dark exit signs and operate by absorbing ambient light and then glowing when placed in dark environments. Our photoluminescent exit signs use an industrial-grade pigment that has a lifespan of 25 years. The GT157 series photoluminescent exit sign is constructed from recycled aluminum and completely recyclable at the end of its long lifespan. Photoluminescent exit signs require five-foot candles of ambient light to be code compliant so they are ideal for commercial applications where the lights are on when the building is occupied.
