Xtra-Glo Double Sided Fire Point Hanging Signs
Xtra-Glo Double Sided Fire Point Hanging Signs help you make fire point locations visible from both directions in corridors, receptions, warehouses and open indoor areas. Suspended above the fire point, they support faster recognition when people are moving through the building or visibility is reduced.
Where Xtra-Glo Fire Point Hanging Signs Should Be Installed
You should install this hanging sign directly above or beside a fire point where wall signs can be missed from one direction. It works best in corridors, large rooms, reception routes and shared indoor areas where people may approach the alarm or equipment from either side.
Practical Viewing Distance Guidance
Use the hanging position to keep the sign clear above people, furniture and stored goods. For a 200mm fire point sign, keep sight lines short and direct in normal corridors, then add supporting wall signs where longer approaches reduce readability.
| Size option | Practical viewing use | Suggested distance |
|---|---|---|
| H 200 x W 200mm | Short corridor runs, open indoor fire points and approach routes | Around 8–10 metres / 26–33 feet |
What Should Improve Once This Fire Point Sign Is Fitted
Once fitted above the fire point, the sign helps people identify the alarm and firefighting equipment without searching walls or doubling back. It supports quicker decisions during drills, staff training and real fire response.

Xtra-Glo Double Sided Fire Point Hanging Signs questions answered
What are Xtra-Glo Double Sided Fire Point Hanging Signs used for? They identify the location of a fire point, including alarm call points and nearby firefighting equipment, so people can find it quickly from either approach direction.
Why choose a hanging fire point sign instead of a flat wall sign? Choose a hanging sign when people may approach from two directions or when wall-mounted signs are hidden by corners, shelving, doors or busy movement routes.
Is this sign suitable for low-light fire safety areas? Yes, the photoluminescent finish stores light and helps the sign remain visible after normal lighting is reduced, making it useful for indoor emergency routes.
Where should I avoid using this fire point hanging sign? Avoid using it where the ceiling height, lighting or fixing surface will make the sign unstable, obstructed or difficult to read from normal approach routes.
Does the double sided Fire Point hanging sign meet recognised sign standards? It is specified as conforming to EN ISO 7010 and BS 5499 sign regulations, with relevant fire safety pictograms for fire point identification.

High-visibility fire point sign alternatives
For a standard double-sided corridor version, compare double-sided corridor fire point signs where ordinary visibility is suitable. Useful for straight corridors, workplace routes and equipment approaches.
If you also need alarm point identification, review Xtra-Glo fire alarm projecting signs for call point areas. A helpful match where fire equipment and alarm activation points sit on linked routes.
For wall-mounted fire point marking, choose plastic fire point wall signs where a flat sign is the better fit. Suitable for direct-view locations and smaller fire equipment areas.
To compare all fire point formats, visit high-visibility fire point signage before ordering. This helps you decide between flat, projecting and double-sided signs.
