What are floor signs and floor graphics made from?
Lavastar provides a range of adhesive printed floor signs and graphics, from shop floor vinyl decals to custom branded lino and a range of external solutions for stone, cobbles and tarmac. The most common materials for floor graphics include:
- Vinyl: – among the most durable and the most common materials for floor signs, vinyl floor signs are made from PVC (polyvinyl chloride), a synthetic polymer of plastic.
- Photoluminescent vinyl: – charged by natural or artificial lights, photoluminescent vinyl, or ‘glow-in-the-dark’ vinyl is a treated form of standard PVC (typically using zinc sulphide or strontium aluminate) which is commonly used in emergency signage (such as emergency wayfinding floor signs or graphics).
- Lino: – while it has many of the same properties as vinyl, lino is actually a solidified mix of linseed oil (linoxyn), resin, sawdust and mineral fillers, which can make it an excellent choice for eco-friendly floor signs and graphics.
Our commitment to delivering what your project needs means that the materials we use will differ from project to project depending on what you’re trying to achieve and where it needs to be installed. For example, though outdoor installations often use the same materials as indoor projects, outdoor floor signage requires a secondary lamination process that helps it to deal with the additional wear-and-tear and weathering it will face outdoors.
At Lavastar, we provide a free site survey; this helps us make sure that you get the product that suits your needs (and also helps us to reduce unforeseen problems and keep timescales to a minimum).
