Overview

Our ensure doors and windows are closed when not in use sign printing starts with one job: the sign nudges people to save water or energy. It earns its place in classrooms, offices, kitchens and washrooms.

What the sign says

It reads "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use". Blue circle means "you must". It is an instruction, not advice.

Putting it up

Next to the tap, switch or door. Fix them on the door or beside the window, at eye height, so it is the last thing people see as they leave.

Before you order ensure doors and windows are closed when not in use sign printing, think about how far away people will be. Reading distance is worked out from the sign’s short side: about a metre for every 25 mm, the distance factor from ISO 3864-1. That makes A4 to about 8 m, A3 to about 12 m, A2 to about 17 m and A1 to about 24 m. Pick bigger for car parks, yards and long runs of corridor.

Ensure doors and windows are closed when not in use sign printing: choosing the board

There is a board for each kind of spot in our ensure doors and windows are closed when not in use sign printing range:

  • 3mm Foamex, a rigid PVC foam board that screws or sticks up easily and is happiest indoors or out for a season
  • 3mm Dibond, aluminium skins on a solid core, the one to pick for a sign that stays outside for years
  • self-adhesive vinyl, which sticks flat to smooth walls, doors, glass and machine guards

Inside, Foamex or vinyl does the job. Outside for the long haul, go Dibond.

Keep the instruction short. People read these in passing, often with their hands full.

The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996 set the look of a "must do" sign: a blue circle with a white symbol or instruction.

Upload your own file, lay it out in the online designer, or hand it to our paid artwork service, which includes 1 design and 2 rounds of changes. A person gives every file a free check first.

Which size do I need?

A safety sign must be large enough to read from where people will see it. Our conservative guide, based on the distance-factor method in ISO 3864-1, is about 1 metre of viewing distance for every 25 mm of sign height (the shorter side). Use it with your own risk assessment.

SizeReadable from up to about
A4 (210 × 297 mm)8 m
A3 (297 × 420 mm)12 m
A2 (420 × 594 mm)17 m
A1 (594 × 841 mm)24 m

Well lit or internally lit signs can be read from further away; dim areas need larger signs.

Questions

Quick answers about ensure doors and windows are closed when not in use sign printing.

Which size of Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use sign can be read from across the room or yard?

Measure the distance first, then match it: 8 m calls for A4 (210 × 297 mm), 12 m calls for A3 (297 × 420 mm), 17 m calls for A2 (420 × 594 mm) and 24 m calls for A1 (594 × 841 mm). Traffic, dim corners or glare all justify going one size bigger. The largest, A1 (594 × 841 mm), is the choice for wide open spaces.

Is there a standard pictogram that says "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use"?

ISO 7010 has nothing specific to this message, so the sign uses the general mandatory action symbol, M001, alongside the text.

Where is the best place to put the "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use" sign?

Put it next to the tap, light switch or door it is asking people about. Fix it where it will not be hidden by doors, deliveries or vehicles.

Does the law say I must put up an Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use sign?

The format comes from the Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996: a white symbol or instruction inside a blue circle, meaning something people must do. How many you need and where comes down to your own risk assessment for "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use".

Is it possible to order a batch of these?

Of course. Set how many you want at checkout and we make each one for your order. For a large run of assorted signs, send the list through the Get a quote page and we will price it together.

Is the price shown for the "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use" sign the full price?

Yes, for the goods. What the page shows is what you pay for the goods at checkout. Postage to the UK mainland is £7.95 per basket, not per item, and free when your goods total £100 or more.

What do the colours on this sign tell people?

Anything inside a blue circle is an instruction that has to be followed. That is the layout the "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use" sign follows.

Asked by buyers

How cheaply can I get hold of the Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign?

Picked the way the page first loads, with A4 (210 × 297 mm) and 3mm Foamex, the Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign comes to £26.33. Any other mix of options, a faster turnaround included, gets its own price the moment you choose it, and that figure is what you pay at checkout. Only delivery is left to add.

Which turnaround speeds can I choose for the Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign?

Allow 5 working days on Saver, 3 on Standard or 2 on Express before the Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign is handed to the courier, based on the options the page opens with.

Pick another size or material and the days beside each speed update, sometimes by a day.

Vinyl, Dibond or Foamex: which should we pick for an Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign?

Decide by where "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use" is going and how long it has to last. Staying outside for years, or somewhere busy where it may get knocked? 3mm Dibond aluminium composite, with metal skins, is the tough one. Indoors or under a porch? 3mm Foamex gives a light, smooth board. Going straight onto a door, window or smooth wall? The self-adhesive vinyl sticks flat with no drilling.

Which is the smallest and which the biggest sign I can order here?

The table has 4 sizes. At the small end, A4 (210 × 297 mm) costs from £26.33; at the top, A1 (594 × 841 mm) costs from £70.72. Each figure is for the cheapest set of options at that size. Unsure? Measure where it will go and check the view from the spot people will stand. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Which size of the Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign can people read from further away?

Rough reading distances for "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use": about 8 m for A4, 12 m for A3, 17 m for A2 or 24 m for A1. The rule of thumb behind them: each 25 mm of height buys roughly one metre of distance. If the light is poor, or people pass quickly on foot or at the wheel, go for the next size up. The figures use the distance factor from ISO 3864-1, and your own risk assessment should settle the final choice. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Keep a short list of where each sign went: it slots into your risk assessment records and makes the odd walk-round check quick. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What message is an Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign giving?

Will anyone look at my file before it is printed?

Yes, a real person on our team opens every uploaded file and checks the size, the bleed and the resolution. If something is off, you hear from us before anything is made. We print what you send, though, so read the spelling, numbers and dates yourself as well. Making starts when the order and the file are both confirmed. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Someone else is putting our file together. How does it reach you?

Easiest route: they send the finished file to whoever placed the order, and it gets uploaded after ordering. Up to 3 files of 25 MB each are fine. They can also reach us through the Contact page, as long as they quote your order number so it lands on the right job.

How many pixels does a photo need to print well on this sign?

Close-up items need about 300 dpi at full size. So an A1 (594 × 841 mm) layout wants about 7,016 by 9,933 pixels. Keep lettering and logos as vectors if you can. An image copied off a web page or a social post rarely has enough pixels; if yours looks likely to print soft, our file check flags it.

To reword "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use" or add a logo, pick the typesetting option (£15) for your text and logo on a clean layout, or the design-from-your-brief option (£35), then send us the details. Both paid options include one first draft and two rounds of changes. Uploading your own print-ready file costs nothing, and someone on our team looks it over before printing. Leave the safety symbol and its colours untouched, though: altering them makes the meaning less clear. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

Does the Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign come in a peel-and-stick version?

It does. Pick self-adhesive vinyl from the material list and it comes as a peel-off sticker. That is handy on a glass shop door, a classroom cupboard, a machine or a smooth painted wall, anywhere screwing a board up would be awkward. Wipe the spot, let it dry, then press it down from the centre outwards to push the air away. On rough brick or dusty surfaces, a board will hold better. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. For reference, Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

What thickness is the Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign, and does it feel sturdy?

Three millimetres, whichever board you go for. Pick self-adhesive vinyl instead and you get a thin film that lies flat against whatever you stick it to. Dibond feels stiff because a plastic core is sandwiched between two thin aluminium sheets, yet it is still simple to screw or stick up. Foamex is foamed PVC, so it weighs very little in the hand. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Material choices for Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign: 3mm Foamex, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or self-adhesive vinyl.

We are putting up a full set of signs at our premises. Which ones sit well next to this one?

A school corridor, a shop floor or a club house rarely needs just one notice. Two that often go up beside this one: If You Use It Clean It Sign and If You Drop It If You Spill It Sign. Keep every sign in one board type so the set matches, look up sizes and prices on each page, then check out once: one delivery charge for the whole basket, free over £100 of goods. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.33.

Will an Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign cope with rain and wind outdoors?

Rain is rarely the problem for "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use"; sunshine is. Every printed sign fades slowly in strong sun, so make a habit of checking outdoor ones and renew any that have faded too far. Dibond is the board to pick for a permanent outdoor home. Foamex copes with a covered spot but prefers life indoors. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.

What is the easiest way to put up an Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign?

To mount "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use" on a wall, drill a hole near each corner of the board and screw it on with a washer under each head; stop once it feels snug, as Foamex in particular does not like being overtightened. Where drilling is not wanted, say on a painted door or a smooth wall inside, double-sided foam tape or sticky pads hold it well. For a fence, make a hole at each corner and loop cable ties through. The vinyl one needs no tools: peel off the backing and press it on once the surface has been wiped and dried.

Does the material change the price of the Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign?

Taking the smallest size, A4 (210 × 297 mm), as the example: self-adhesive vinyl at £50.78, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite at £47.35 and 3mm Foamex at £26.33. Larger sizes follow a similar pattern, and the full grid sits in the size table further up the page. Think about where it is going first: a cheap material in the wrong spot can end up costing more. Before delivery, this sign costs from £26.33. On this page, Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign starts from £26.33.

Do we legally have to display an Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign?

Your risk assessment answers that one for "Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use". Where it shows a risk still remains after other steps, the 1996 Safety Signs and Signals Regulations say an employer must signpost it, and that applies to a cafe with two staff as much as a factory. Signs back up the other measures you take; they are never a substitute for them. The symbol on this sign follows ISO 7010, reference M001.

No. Each design goes into the basket as a separate line with its own file or online design, and you pay for them all in one checkout.

Pick the reuse-artwork option on the second one and you pay the artwork fee just once. Each line keeps its own size and quantity.

Some of our visitors have poor eyesight. Will this sign be easy for them to read?

Three things help most: strong contrast between the words and the background, a plain bold font, and a size that matches how far away people will be. Our standard safety sign layouts use the high-contrast colour pairings laid down for safety signs. Mount the sign at eye height, where it is well lit and not catching glare, and keep the message short. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex. Make the artwork for this sign the same size as the one you order, such as A4 (210 × 297 mm). For reference, Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign is listed in 4 sizes, the smallest being A4 (210 × 297 mm).

Does an Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign come upright or wide?

"Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use" is laid out in portrait format, available as A4, A3, A2 and A1. Upright layouts fit doors, posts and narrow bits of wall. Need it turned the other way? Choose one of the design options and we will rearrange it for you. Sizes for this sign go from A4 (210 × 297 mm) at the small end to A1 (594 × 841 mm), 4 in all.

We can still help. Put the size you need, the material and the quantity into the quote request form and we will send a price.

Can I cut this sign down to size, or drill fixing holes, at home?

Yes, with ordinary tools. For Foamex or Correx, a sharp craft knife and a straight metal edge work: a few light passes, then snap or cut through.

Could the Ensure Doors and Windows Are Closed When Not in Use Sign go on a door, say an office or classroom door?

Start with the position: eye level, on the push side or on the wall next to the frame, so the message is still visible with the door open. For the door itself, choose self-adhesive vinyl, which suits painted doors and glass panels. A 3mm Foamex board on foam tape also sits well on a flat door. On a fire door, get the go-ahead from whoever looks after the building before any screws go in. For this sign, the material can be self-adhesive vinyl, 3mm Dibond aluminium composite or 3mm Foamex.
