Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Port Hotel in Southampton needed a more reliable and  visible way to warn guests about cleaning in their marble lobby, especially during rainy check-in times. Their old, flimsy signs were often ignored or knocked over.

"These Jantex signs are brilliant. They’re bright, sturdy, and  our housekeeping team can place them in seconds. They look professional and, most importantly, people actually notice them and  slow down."

Michael Edwards – Operations Manager

Since implementing the Jantex L433 signs, the hotel has reported a complete elimination of wet-floor related slips in the lobby area.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Simply unfold the A-frame until it stands securely on its own.
  • Place it in a prominent position ahead of the wet area.
  • Ensure it's clearly visible to anyone approaching the hazard.
  • For long corridors or large areas, use multiple signs for full coverage.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe the surface regularly with a damp cloth and  mild detergent to keep it bright and  legible.
  • Check the hinge mechanism occasionally for any signs of stiffness or damage.
  • Store the sign folded flat in a dry place to prevent it from getting damaged.
  • Avoid leaving it in direct, strong sunlight for prolonged periods to prevent colour fading.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Safety Signage

Need help choosing? Here’s a quick guide to picking the perfect safety sign for your business.

Visibility is Key

Your sign must be seen. Bright colours like yellow, combined with bold, universally understood symbols and  text, are non-negotiable for an effective commercial floor warning sign.

Stability Matters

A sign that falls over is useless. The A-frame design provides excellent stability on flat surfaces, ensuring your warning stays in place.

Think About Storage

Space is always tight. A sign that folds completely flat, like this one, is a massive advantage for easy storage in crowded cleaning cupboards.

Consider the Material

Look for durable, lightweight, and  easy-to-clean materials. Polystyrene is a great choice as it's tough enough for daily use but light enough for anyone to carry.

Clear Messaging

The message should be instant. A combination of a clear pictogram and  simple text ('Caution Wet Floor') ensures everyone understands, regardless of language.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is this sign double-sided?

A: Yes, absolutely. The 'Caution Wet Floor' message and  symbol are printed on both sides for 360-degree visibility.

Q: How tall is the sign when standing?

A: It stands at 640mm (or 64cm) high, which is the perfect height to be easily noticed without being a major obstruction.

Q: Is it heavy to carry?

A: Not at all. It weighs just 0.56kg, making it incredibly lightweight and  easy for any staff member to transport and  position.

Q: What is it made from?

A: The sign is constructed from a tough, durable polystyrene plastic that's designed to withstand daily use in a commercial environment.

Q: Can I use it outdoors?

A: It's primarily designed for indoor use. While it can be used in sheltered outdoor areas, its light weight means it could blow over in strong winds.

Q: Does it have a handle?

A: Yes, there's a strong, integrated handle moulded into the top of the frame for convenient carrying.

Q: How easy is it to clean?

A: Very easy. The smooth plastic surface can be wiped clean in seconds with a damp cloth.

Q: Does it arrive flat-packed?

A: It arrives ready to use. There's no assembly required, you just unfold it and  it's ready to go.

Susan B – The Book Nook Café, York

"Great value. We bought three for our village hall and  they are so easy to store away in the cleaning cupboard because they fold completely flat."

David L – Community Hall Trustee, Perth

"Very effective and  visible. It's plastic, so I'm not sure how it would cope with being run over, but for everyday use it's ideal."

Raj K – Shop Owner, Birmingham

Why a Freestanding A-Frame Is a Safety Essential

Ever wondered why nearly every commercial floor warning sign uses that triangular 'A-frame' shape? It's simple design genius. Unlike a flat sign you might lean against a wall, a freestanding A-frame is completely self-sufficient. Its two sides create a wide, stable base with a low centre of gravity.

Think of it like a photographer's tripod – it's designed not to fall over easily. This means if someone accidentally bumps it, it's far more likely to stay upright. Crucially, a sign that stays standing is a sign that's doing its job. It also means the sign itself doesn't become another trip hazard, which can sometimes happen with less stable solutions. This simple, reliable shape is the gold standard for a reason.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurants & Pubs: To ensure safety during front-of-house clean-ups or back-of-house mopping in busy service areas.
  • Hotels & Accommodation: Perfect for alerting guests to wet floors in lobbies, corridors, and  housekeeping service areas.
  • Retail Shops & Supermarkets: A must-have for quickly cordoning off spillages in aisles and  keeping shoppers safe.
  • Schools & Leisure Centres: For keeping high-traffic communal areas like hallways and  changing rooms safe for everyone.
