Reflective signs light up, giving clear direction, information and message, in the darkest of nights.
Using industry tested retro-reflective sign faces, our bespoke printed signs keep on working, into the long hours of darkness.
Although reflective signs are most commonly used for road side uses, adding reflectivity makes signs much more visible than standard non-reflective alternatives.
They have uses in general safety, information and vehicle liveries, as well as creating marketing opportunities adding visibility after the sun has gone down.
Reflective signs are categorised by the amount of reflectivity that the illuminated sign gives back to the light source shone onto it.
Generally, Class 2 honeycomb reflective is superior to Class 1, Class 1 has more reflectivity than the basic Engineering grade, although each has it’s uses and applications.
The first retro-reflective sheeting was based on a technology using glass beads backed up with a reflective coating behind these beads. More up to date production methods now allow polymer plastics to be used, and to much more effect.
The main requirement of any reflective sign is to be illuminated back into the direction that the light source comes from.
If reflective signs were simply mirrors, then the light would bounce off into an opposite direction, unless lit absolutely square on. With the majority of reflective signs being used at the roadside, the reflective surface can be hit with headlamps at an angle, and still reflect back to the light source. This is due to the beads, or prisms in the surface.
Here’s where we come to our first hurdle. If road signs reflected light the way mirrors reflect light, you would not be able to see them at night. When you drive past a road sign at night, the sign is usually located to the right or the left of the road.
Reflectorized signage can be used for a variety of purposes including; to inform and highlight information and company details, this could be access details, to draw attention to site security, health & safety signage and industry site boards. Custom reflective signs are often used to warn of hazards and potential dangers especially after dark e.g. road signs.
