Aluminium CPR Sign Installation Instructions

How to Install Your Aluminium CPR Signs

Step 1: Surface Preparation

Begin by thoroughly cleaning the installation surface, ensuring it is free from dust, oil, and other contaminants.
Important: Be aware that certain paints, particularly those containing Teflon, may hinder adhesion.

Step 2: Location Selection

Choose a prominent location that maximizes visibility while taking environmental conditions into account.
Tip: Signs exposed to direct sunlight may experience accelerated fading and ageing.

Step 3: Alignment

Use a spirit level to ensure the sign is perfectly level before securing it in place.

Step 4: Mounting Options

Option 1: Screws and Wall Plugs

Ideal for masonry or concrete walls.
Select appropriate screws and wall plugs that can securely hold the sign.
Pro Tip: When drilling holes, place a piece of timber beneath the sign to provide support and ensure a clean, precise drill.
Pre-drill holes to prevent any potential damage to the sign.

Option 2: Double-Sided Tape

Heavy-duty, outdoor-rated double-sided tape is suitable for smooth, flat surfaces.
For extra security, consider using a secondary adhesive, such as Liquid Nails.

Option 3: Brackets or Frames

For larger signs or added stability, mounting brackets or frames are recommended.
Brackets not only provide additional support but can also enhance the sign’s aesthetic appeal and protect its edges.

Step 5: Securing the Sign

Depending on the chosen method, attach the sign firmly, ensuring it is securely fastened and level.

Step 6: Protective Laminate Care

Do not remove the clear protective 5-year UV laminate. This layer is crucial for protecting your sign from weather, tampering, and scratches.

Cleaning and Maintenance

Routine Cleaning:

Clean the sign with warm, soapy water to maintain its appearance.
For stubborn spots, use isopropyl alcohol, but take care to avoid scratching the surface.

Ongoing Maintenance:

Regularly inspect the sign for any signs of wear, damage, or fading. Promptly address any issues to ensure the sign remains effective and visually appealing.

Environmental Considerations

Avoid installing the sign in areas prone to extreme weather conditions, such as high winds, which could cause damage.
