What to Look for in Architectural Exit Signs

  • Legend visibility: Specify 6-inch letters with long-distance readability; pick red or green for contrast under your ambient lighting and finishes.
  • Faces & wayfinding: Use single-face where viewed one way and double-face for corridors; set field-selectable arrows during install to align with the actual egress route.
  • Trim & mounting details: Choose slim bezel trims to blend with the interior; confirm wall/ceiling/end canopy fit, indicator/test visibility, and any jurisdictional needs (e.g., NYC 8-inch legends).

Architectural exit signage balances a crisp, even legend with a bezel or panel that complements the room. Align letter color to wall and ambient light for long-distance legibility, and choose single-face or double-face to maintain sightlines through intersections without visual clutter.

During install, set field-selectable arrows to match the actual egress turn and confirm the indicator and push-to-test remain visible after wall/ceiling/end mounting. Coordinate finish, trim depth, and projection with nearby doors, sprinklers, and millwork for a seamless look that still meets inspection.

FAQs About Architectural Exit Signs

Red or green letters—how do I choose for a modern interior?

Match the legend color to ambient light and wall finishes: red often pops on cool palettes and glass; green can improve contrast in warm or wood-toned spaces. Always test sightlines at approach distance.

Single-face or double-face for intersecting corridors?

Use single-face when viewed from one direction. Choose double-face for intersections or open areas with bidirectional traffic so the EXIT legend is visible on both approaches.

Where should the indicator and test switch be located?

Place the sign so the status LED and push-to-test remain visible from floor level after wall/ceiling/end mounting; avoid recessing or trim conditions that hide the indicator from inspectors.
