Emergency Exit Projecting 3D Signs
This Emergency Exit Projecting 3D Sign identifies an exit point from more than one approach, helping staff, visitors and contractors react quickly in corridors, reception areas and shared indoor routes where a flat sign can be missed during an evacuation.
Best Places to Position This Projecting Exit Sign
You should install this sign above an indoor emergency exit where people approach from more than one direction, such as a corridor end, lobby or shared route. The projecting format helps the exit stay visible before anyone reaches the door.
Viewing Distance Guidance
Use viewing distance as a site check, not a guarantee. For this 200 x 350mm projecting sign, stand back along each likely approach and confirm the “Emergency exit” message and pictogram can be understood before the doorway is reached.
| Size option | Practical viewing check | Best suited to |
|---|---|---|
| H 200 x W 350mm | Check from around 6–10 metres / 20–33 feet | Short-to-medium indoor approaches, corridors and exit doors |
What Should Improve Once It Is Fitted
After fitting, the sign should help people recognise the exit earlier from both sides of the approach, reducing last-second hesitation when movement is urgent. It is most useful where visitors or contractors may not already know the building layout.

Installation Guidance
❌ Do not mount it flat, too low or behind door swings, shelving, hanging displays or stored items. That removes the reason for using a projecting sign and can hide one face from view.
❌ Do not use it as the only control where you need low-light visibility, outdoor durability, or a clear directional arrow beyond the exit point. Use the correct supporting sign for those situations.
✅ Fix it squarely above the emergency exit, use suitable wall fixings, then walk the route from both directions at around 6–10 metres to check the message and pictogram are clear.
Frequently asked questions
Is the Emergency Exit Projecting 3D Sign suitable for every emergency exit? It is best for indoor exits where visibility from more than one approach matters. For darker areas, check whether your risk assessment also requires illuminated or photoluminescent signs.
Why choose a projecting 3D sign instead of a flat exit sign? Choose it when people approach the exit from the side, along a corridor or across an open indoor area. It gives the exit message more visibility before someone is directly facing the door.
Can this sign be used outside? The supplied details state indoor display use, so you should keep it to internal escape routes unless a competent assessment confirms the position is protected and suitable.
Does it come with fixing materials? Fixing materials are sold separately, so select screws or other rigid plastic fixings that suit the wall surface and the finished weight of the installation.
Is this sign reflective or glow in the dark? No. It is non-reflective and non-photoluminescent, so do not rely on it as a glow-in-the-dark or reflective exit sign.
