Flag Sign 148 x 148 mm Double-Sided with a Stainless Steel Frame, Matt Silver Die-Cast Bracket

At right angles to the wall: A flag sign stands perpendicular to the wall and is therefore seen from a distance, while a flush-mounted sign only becomes readable once you are in front of it. In long corridors that is the difference between searching and finding.

Lettered on both sides: Each side takes its own sheet. In a corridor walked from both directions you therefore need one sign rather than two. The sheets can differ, with a room number on one side and a department on the other.

The same change: As on the wall signs in the range, the acrylic cover slides upwards, the sheet is swapped and the cover left to drop back. No tools are needed and the bracket stays in place.

The bracket: It is made of matt silver finished die-cast metal and carries the sign with no visible screws at the front. The combination of stainless frame and matt bracket stays restrained enough for representative areas.

Height: Flag signs belong above head height so nobody walks into them, and below the ceiling zone so they stay within view. Two metres to the lower edge has proven a workable compromise.

Consistency: The flag sign uses the same frame profile as the wall signs in the range. A floor can therefore be fitted out with a mix without the signs looking different from one another.

Format: The square format with 148 millimetre sides takes room numbers and short designations. A flag sign is not the place for longer text, because it is read in passing.

Care: Wipe stainless steel along the grain and clean acrylic only with water and mild washing-up liquid. Glass cleaner containing alcohol produces fine cracks in acrylic that cannot be removed.

How many you need: One flag sign per junction and per door that has to be found from the corridor. Doors you pass anyway need no flag sign but a wall sign beside them.

A consistent height: Hang every flag sign on a floor at the same height. The effect comes from repetition, and a single sign out of line draws more attention than any lettering on it.

Planning a floor: Keep flag signs to one format throughout. Their effect comes from the repeated shape at a constant height; mixed sizes along one corridor undo exactly that.

This item in detail: The height is 148 mm and the width 148 mm. This format is intended for short entries such as room numbers, abbreviations or single names. The weight is 1.25 kg, which matters for both the fixing and the shipping. The sign stands at right angles to the wall. Check the dimensions and finish against what you already have before ordering, because the items in this range differ in exactly those points.
