Exit Arrow Down Vandal Resistant Signs

Manufactured from durable aluminium, these signs resist graffiti, weathering and impact, making them ideal for staircases, corridors and exposed public areas.
Where Exit Arrow Down Signs Should Be Installed
Exit arrow down signs should be installed where escape routes continue forward and descend, such as staircases, split-level corridors and multi-storey buildings.
