-
Correx®: best value for temporary outdoor/site use.
-
Foamex: smart, rigid panels for indoor walls/doors.
-
Aluminium/Dibond: long-term, heavy-duty outdoor signage.
-
Vinyl stickers: durable labels for machinery, equipment and helmets.
-
Reflective (RA1/RA2): high visibility under headlights/torches.
-
Photoluminescent (glow): charges in ambient light and glows in darkness for escape routes and fire safety.
Reflective needs an external light source to “bounce” light back (great for yards, car parks, traffic-adjacent areas). Photoluminescent stores light and glows on its own when power fails or visibility drops (ideal for fire exits, stairwells, corridors).
Absolutely. We cut to size (and shape), add rounded corners or drill holes, and can include branding, QR codes and sequential numbering. Supply artwork or ask us to set it for you.
Our outdoor materials are weather-resistant Correx®, ideal for shorter-term use; Aluminium/Dibond suits long-term installations.
Choose from pre-drilled holes, cable ties (for Heras/scaffold), screws with wall plugs, post clips, adhesive tapes, magnetic backings and sign frames. Tell us the surface and we’ll advise the best fixing.
