Exit Sign: Exit

Exit Sign – Red on White Aluminum Safety Sign for Code-Compliant Egress Marking

This horizontal exit sign is designed for contractors and facilities professionals who need durable, clearly visible egress marking in commercial and industrial environments. Constructed from 40 mil aluminum with a laminated face, it delivers long-term performance in high-traffic areas where sign integrity is critical. The red-on-white color scheme provides high contrast for immediate recognition. Available in multiple sizes and substrate materials to suit a range of project specifications and mounting requirements.

Technical Specifications

Compared to standard plastic or label-only exit signs, the 40 mil aluminum construction with laminated face offers significantly greater resistance to physical damage, moisture, and surface wear — making it a preferred choice for demanding job site and permanent facility installations. The availability of multiple substrate options, including 3M Engineer Grade materials, gives contractors flexibility to match sign performance to specific environmental and code requirements.

Key Features & Benefits

40 Mil Aluminum Construction

The heavy-gauge aluminum substrate resists bending, impact, and corrosion in demanding environments. For contractors installing signs in warehouses, stairwells, or industrial facilities, this thickness ensures the sign maintains its shape and legibility over the long term.

Laminated Face for Superior Durability

The laminated surface protects the printed legend from abrasion, cleaning chemicals, and UV exposure. This extends the service life of the sign and reduces the frequency of replacement in high-traffic or harsh-environment installations.

Prepunched Mounting Holes

Factory-drilled holes allow for immediate installation with standard screws or nails — no field drilling required. This speeds up installation time and ensures consistent, secure mounting across multiple sign locations on a project.

Rounded Corners

Rounded corners reduce the risk of sharp-edge injuries during handling and installation, and also help prevent corner lifting or peeling over time. This is a practical detail that matters on busy job sites where signs are handled frequently.

Multiple Substrate Options

Available in 3M Engineer Grade Labels, Laminated Plastic Labels, 3M Engineer Grade Aluminum, Plastic, and 40 mil Aluminum, allowing specification to match the exact durability, budget, and environmental requirements of each project.

Red on White High-Contrast Coloring

The red-on-white color scheme maximizes legibility at a distance and in varying lighting conditions, supporting clear egress identification in commercial and industrial settings.

Common Applications

Commercial Building Egress Marking

Used to mark exit routes in office buildings, retail spaces, and public facilities where clear, durable egress signage is required.

Industrial Facility Exit Identification

Suitable for warehouses, manufacturing plants, and distribution centers where signs must withstand physical contact, dust, and moisture.

Stairwell and Corridor Signage

The horizontal format and prepunched mounting holes make this sign easy to install above doorways and along egress corridors in multi-story buildings.

Construction Site Temporary Egress Marking

The aluminum substrate holds up to the rough handling and variable conditions typical of active construction sites, making it appropriate for temporary egress marking during build-out phases.

Compatible Materials

• Concrete and masonry walls (screw mounting via prepunched holes)
• Steel and metal door frames or walls (screw or nail mounting)
• Wood framing and stud walls (nail or screw mounting)
• Drywall and finished interior surfaces (screw mounting)
