About us
Typical installation in daylight...
The light has gone out, you’ll still find your way!
Safe Sign orginally started as a brand for safety signs in Norway in the 80’s. Over the years the brand name evolved to become a leading supplier of signage.
Our unique aspect is that we start where others already have stopped. Our normal products (with standard afterglow effect) are already several times better than equal products of wellknown competitors.
We assure that our products comply with the latest standards and look forward to be of assist to you in upcoming projects.
In the beginning of this century the founders of Safe Sign created a partnership with several safety specialists across Europe in order to develop a new generation photoluminescent Safety Markings & Low Location Light systems. In 2004 Safe Sign introduced our first photoluminescent products. In 2010 Safe Sign started its own production factory in the Netherlands. Here we make state of the art signs, paints, coatings and LLL systems.
Our revolutionary plastic Safe Signs in the XL, XXL & XXX ranges comes with a 10 year lifetime guarantee against discolouring. We achieve this excellent UV & weather resistance because our plastic signs are made with modified polymers and are reversed printed. They are also environment friendly and recyclable.

Slot Strips
Typical installation of floor markers
Slot Strips Recently, we developed slotstrips as an alternative to tapes. Slotstrips can be mounted on gratings, stairs or direct to concrete surfaces in wet humid areas.
Slot strips are sometimes also mounted on industrial stairs, where they have the function as afterglowing anti-slip stairmarkings. See opposite page for more stair markers!
Floor Markers Floormarkers and slotstrips are a perfect method to create safe way guiding in your warehouse, corridors or escape tunnels. Floor Markers are made from non combustable aluminium printed with Safe Sign XXL afterglow paint, and coated with a heavy duty antislip surface. Standard sizes: Ø 90 and Ø 200 mm. Other sizes are optional. The floormarkers has a very strong adhesive for extreme adhesion to most surfaces and floors. The protection foil is easy to peel off. For best performance, the surface should be cleaned prior to installation.
The slot strips are made of 1 mm aluminium coated with a Safe Sign XXL afterglow layer. The top is covered with a heavy duty glasspearl antislip coating. Size 1 meter x 50 mm.
Ordering information See our website or our partners websites.
For extreme heavy duty we supply slot strips in 2 mm thick aluminium.

Combination of Stairnose and Floor Markers
Stairnose and Floor Markers in the dark
Installation of Stairnose Markers and Light Line tapes
Stair Markers Stairs are difficult to recognize in the dark and are an obstacle if not cleary identified. Safe Sign therefore developed several different Stair Markers. Stairnose Markers The regular stairnose marker is a self adhesive bended aluminum strip with XXL afterglow quality and antislip heavy duty surface. Durable hightack foamtape makes it easy to install at stairedges to identify the sides of stairs. The afterglowing bended strip can be seen as well from above as from the front. Size is 200 x 40mm with a 90 degree angle of another 40mm.
Inside the profile a plastic Light Line strip is inserted. The profile can be installed with foamtape, siliconglue or screwed to the stairs. The inserts can be supplied in plastic or, if required, also aluminium. The quality can be choosen from our range of Safe Sign XL / XXL or XXX. Stairnose Marker
Stairnose Alu profile
Stairnose Alu profiles A more sophisticated option is to install Stairnose aluminium profiles with an antislip function. These profiles are 1,2 meter long and can be easily cut to the required length.

Epoxy coating
Paint & Coatings Safe Sign specialists used to work with various floor coating systems. Since we experienced that none of the existing systems satisfied our clients’ needs, we developed our own range of floor coatings. The Safe Sign Escape Floor coating exists now as two different paint combinations: 1. Acrylic Floor and Wall Paint for marking of areas were there is no heavy wear. Supplied in 1 liter cans.
2. EpoxyPhotolume Coating A three component heavy duty floor coating, extremely resistant against walking and forklift trucks. It also stands high humidity. This coating was tested frequently in Norwegian wet tunnels, under aggressive outside influences. Our Escape Epoxy Photoluminescent coating was chosen as the standard in Norway. Our distribution first started after this positive result!
