FAQ
What are directional floor graphics made from?
Our Indoor directional floor graphics use a high-tack self-adhesive vinyl with a 100 micron matt embossed overlaminate. Our outdoor directional floor graphics have an aluminium face and a self-adhesive aluminium build, making them weather-resistant for up to a year.ย
Are your Arrow Floor Graphics slip-resistant?
Yes. The indoor product is pendulum tested to BS 7976-2:2002+A1:2013 and rated R9. The outdoor product is independently tested to EN 16165:2021 Annex B (shod ramp test), assessed against DIN EN 16165:2023, and rated R11 with a corrected ramp value of 26ยฐ.
How long will these wayfinding floor graphics last?
Indoor directional floor graphics have an expected service life of around 1 year under normal foot traffic. Outdoor directional floor graphics are expected to last 6 to 12 months, depending on weather exposure and foot traffic.
What artwork do you need?
For the best print results, please provide vector files (AI, EPS, or PDF). High-resolution JPEGs are the second-best option if you don’t have vector files.ย
How long does an order take?

Can I order a sample first?

How to Apply
Indoor Directional Floor Graphics
Apply using a dry application method to a smooth, flat, sealed floor that’s clean, dust-free, and contamination-free.ย
Press the graphic down firmly and make sure the edges are applied well, since lifting edges is the most common cause of early wear. Allow 24 hours to cure before exposing it to moisture or cleaning, and avoid heavy traffic where possible.ย
Outdoor Directional Floor Graphics
Before you start:
- Make sure the surface is bone dry, clean and in reasonable condition before you apply anything.
- Once applied, the surface needs to stay dry for at least 24 hours.
- Smoother surfaces are easier for the adhesive to bond to than rough ones, so choose the smoothest surface available.
- Clean the surface thoroughly to remove dirt and grit first. Don’t use any liquids to do this.
To apply:
- Once your graphic is aligned, peel back around 5cm of the liner from the rear and start applying it to the surface.
- Work in sections of around 20cm, using a short-bristle brush, roller or firm squeegee. Apply firm pressure to push the adhesive into the surface as you go, and avoid trapping air pockets.
- Once the whole graphic is down, go back over every edge with firm pressure.
- Trim any sharp corners so they don’t catch and lift.
- On a rougher surface, use heat to help force the graphic down into the texture.
