❌ Do not fit where a projecting sign creates a head-strike risk
❌ Do not use it to identify unrelated fire equipment
✅ Position it above the call point on the normal walking approach
✅ Keep both faces clear from visual clutter and obstructions
✅ Check visibility from each corridor direction after installation
Fire Alarm Double Sided Corridor Sign questions answered
What is a Fire Alarm Double Sided Corridor Sign used for? It is used to identify the location of a manual fire alarm call point where people may approach from either direction along a corridor.
Is this the right choice if the call point is already wall signed? Yes, if the flat wall sign is easy to miss from side approaches. A projecting double sided sign gives earlier recognition along the route.
Where should I fit this sign for best visibility? Fit it high above or immediately beside the call point, keeping it clear of door swings, shelving, columns and anything that blocks the two visible faces.
Does this sign use the correct fire alarm symbol? Yes, it uses the EN ISO 7010 F005 fire alarm call point pictogram, supported by the red fire safety colour and clear “Fire alarm” text.
When would this sign not be the best option? Do not use it as the only sign where a photoluminescent sign is required by your fire risk assessment or where the wall cannot safely support a projecting bracket.

Corridor visibility and projecting sign choices
For a wall-mounted side-view option, compare projecting 3D fire alarm call point signs. Useful where people approach alarm points along corridors or around corners.
If glow visibility is also needed, review Xtra-Glo projecting call point signs for corridors. They support recognition from side approaches and lower-light areas.
For flat call point marking beside the alarm itself, consider symbol-only fire alarm point location signs. They keep the message visual and simple where wording is not required.
For the complete range, browse corridor fire alarm call point signage. It helps you compare hanging, projecting and flat wall options for your layout.
