Which Material Should I Choose?
Aluminium Composite: Best for permanent indoor or outdoor signage and locations requiring a rigid, durable sign.
Correx: A lightweight, economical option for temporary or shorter-term signage.
Self-Adhesive Vinyl: Best for application directly to smooth, clean surfaces such as doors, panels and equipment housings.
PVC: A rigid, durable plastic option offering a balance between the low cost of Correx and the strength of Aluminium Composite, suitable for indoor and sheltered outdoor use.

Why this sign: A No Thoroughfare sign should be posted wherever pedestrian passage through an area is not permitted, such as at the boundary of a restricted zone, private land, or a hazardous work area. It clearly communicates that the route does not provide a public right of way and that entry beyond the sign is not allowed, helping to control foot traffic and maintain site safety.

Compliance note: In Ireland, employers must provide appropriate safety signage where hazards cannot be avoided or adequately reduced by other measures, based on the workplace risk assessment, under the Safety, Health and Welfare at Work (General Application) Regulations 2007. This sign is suitable for use as part of a workplace safety-signage system where identified by that risk assessment.
