For coordinated stair and floor identification, shop Stairwell Identification Sign Packages, including standard and photoluminescent life-safety options. For jurisdiction-specific signage, shop Washington, DC stairway ID signs or NYC stairway floor level signs.
Stairway and Floor Level Identification
Stairwell floor signs help occupants and emergency responders identify their location within an enclosed stairway. Depending on the applicable code, required information may include the stair designation, current floor or level, highest and lowest floors served, exit discharge information, and roof-access information.
The 2024 International Building Code addresses stairway identification in Section 1023.9 and also requires tactile floor-level identification where floor-level signs are provided. Washington, DC and New York City establish additional jurisdiction-specific requirements, so confirm the code adopted for your facility when selecting an assortment.
Choose the Right Stairway Sign
Start with the requirements for the building, stair location, and adopted code. Stairway identification may require a combination of large-format stair identification, tactile floor-level identification, exit-discharge information, and, in some buildings, photoluminescent materials.
Review the sign function and installation location before ordering so each stair landing receives the appropriate identification. |
