And to Finish… What Are Your Zone Plan Finish Options?

Regarding fire safety, having an accurate and easily visible zone plan is essential to ensure the precise location of the zone in alarm is easily located within the building. At QDOS, we also understand that the choice of zone plan finish may vary depending on location.

That’s why we offer a variety of expertly designed fire alarm zone plans in five different finishes. These include HILUX®, framed, aluminium, PVC and acrylic. Let us help you make informed decisions on the most suitable finish for each job.

If you’re searching for a cost-effective finish for zone plans, we recommend opting for the framed finish. Each print is provided in a silver anodised front-loading snap frame. To guarantee optimum visibility, we include an anti-glare acetate cover, effectively eliminating concerns about readability under various lighting conditions. The finish comes complete with the relevant wall fixings (screws/plugs etc) and instructions on how to mount the frame to a wall. This practical choice strikes the perfect balance between affordability and functionality.

In scenarios where visibility during low light or darkness is paramount, our HILUX® finish shines through. Crafted from a robust 1.2mm rigid PVC, this finish boasts photoluminescent properties that exceed the PSPA ‘Class C’ standard. This means the zone plans remain visible even in the absence of external lighting, providing crucial guidance in emergencies.

For those seeking a finish that can withstand the elements and the challenges of outdoor environments, our anoprinted aluminium finish stands as the perfect choice. The inherent weather-resistant qualities of aluminium ensure that the zone plans remain intact and legible, regardless of changing conditions. Additionally, the ability to clean this finish with graffiti-removing chemicals maintains the pristine appearance.

The acrylic finish provides a high-quality, sophisticated appearance while being highly resistant to shattering. This durability ensures that the zone plans can withstand general wear and tear, guaranteeing their effectiveness over time. The acrylic finish also offers excellent resistance to discolouration and most chemicals, maintaining visual integrity. As a bonus, it’s 100% recyclable, aligning with sustainable practices.

The White PVC zone plan finish offers a flame retardant option. This finish provides benefits, including enhanced safety through its ability to withstand high heat and fire, making it a superior choice compared to standard paper finishes. As with all our plans, it meets British Standard BS5499 compliance. The PVC material is the same as used on other standard safety signage, allowing for a uniform look across all signage. The finish is also our most versatile, as it comes with an anodised silver snap frame for easy mounting or can be adhered directly to the wall. Moreover, these durable PVC signs are built to last, maintaining their condition much longer than standard paper signs.
