FAQs
What material is the sign made from?
The sign is made from 1mm thick, durable PVC.
How strong is the adhesive?
It uses an aggressive water-based adhesive designed to stick easily and remain on most wall surfaces.
Will the colors fade in sunlight?
No, the sign is printed with UV resistant inks which help to prevent fading from sun exposure.
Does this sign meet safety standards?
Yes, it complies with BS5499 and/or ISO 7010 design criteria where applicable.
Can I stick this sign on a rough brick wall?
The adhesive works best on smooth, non-porous surfaces. For rough surfaces like brick, the adhesion may be compromised. Consider using screws or an appropriate adhesive suitable for brickwork.
How do I clean the sign?
You can clean the sign with a damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
What is the primary purpose of this sign?
Its primary purpose is to clearly indicate 'No Parking' areas, helping to enforce restrictions and maintain clear access.
Troubleshooting
Sign is not sticking properly
Ensure the surface is thoroughly cleaned and dried before application. If the surface is porous or textured, the adhesive may not form a strong bond. Consider using a primer or an alternative mounting method if the surface is unsuitable.
Adhesive residue left after removal
Gently rub the residue with a soft cloth and a mild, non-abrasive cleaner like diluted soap or a specialized adhesive remover. Test any cleaner in an inconspicuous area first.
Sign appears faded or discolored
This product uses UV resistant inks, but prolonged extreme sun exposure can eventually cause fading. Ensure the sign is cleaned periodically as per care instructions. If fading is severe, replacement may be necessary.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Clean the Surface: Ensure the intended mounting surface is clean, dry, and free from dust, grease, or any other contaminants. A smooth, non-porous surface is ideal for optimal adhesion.
- Position the Sign: Carefully align the sign with the desired location.
- Apply Firm Pressure: Once positioned, press firmly across the entire surface of the sign, particularly around the edges, to ensure the adhesive makes full contact.
Compatibility:
The sign is designed to adhere to a wide variety of smooth, hard surfaces including painted walls, metal, glass, and sealed wood. It is not recommended for rough, textured, or freshly painted surfaces where adhesion may be compromised.
Care:
To maintain clarity and longevity:
- Clean the sign surface gently with a damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaners or solvents, as these may damage the printed surface or the PVC material.
- Periodically check the adhesion, especially in outdoor or high-traffic areas, and reapply pressure if needed.
