CONSTRUCTION We boast the largest range of construction safety signs on the market. Construction sites can pose the most hazardous of environments. Often in urban areas and frequently using workers of various nationalities the need for clear safety messages is paramount. Our Construction signs come in a range of materials from vinyl for quick and easy fixing to polycarbonate - a tough material with subsurface printing providing protection from the toughest wear a construction site can offer. Protect your signs...use P.O.F. Protective Overlay Film (P.O.F.) can be overlaminated on any aluminium or rigid plastic sign to give a greater degree of protection to the sign face. It allows: • Easier removal of graffiti • Resistance to scuffs • UV protection - anti fade • Easier to clean • Extra life of sign Call us for more information on P.O.F.
