FAQReflective Road Signs questions we are asked most
How much do reflective road signs cost in Dubai?
The cost depends on the sheeting grade, sign size, quantity, posts and foundations, and whether the work is on a live road. A set of standard regulatory signs in high intensity sheeting costs far less per sign than bespoke bilingual information panels on large posts. Send us the sign schedule or a site plan and we will send an itemised quote, usually within 24 hours.
Which reflective sheeting grade do I need?
It depends on road speed, junction complexity and any specification that applies. High intensity prismatic suits most community and industrial roads, while full-cube microprismatic is usual for faster roads, overhead signs and busy junctions. On public roads the authority sets the grade, and we confirm the current requirement for your site before production.
Can you supply reflective road signs for public roads?
Signs on public roads follow the road authority's specification and are usually delivered through approved contractors as part of a road project. We fabricate reflective road signs to the specification provided for contractors, master communities, free zones and private roads, and we check with the client or consultant that materials and format meet the current requirement.
How long do reflective road signs last?
High intensity and microprismatic signs typically perform for seven to ten years or more, while engineering grade fades sooner. In the UAE, sun-facing reds and signs near open sand or the sea age fastest. Our permanent outdoor signs carry a 5-year warranty on structure and powder coat, and a yearly night check shows when a face needs replacing.
What is the difference between reflective and illuminated road signs?
A reflective sign needs no power: its sheeting returns headlamp light to the driver. An illuminated sign has its own light source and a supply to maintain. On most community and industrial roads, good prismatic sheeting is brighter in headlights than people expect, and it avoids cabling and lamp failures. Lighting is usually kept for unlit roads with complex junctions where a specification calls for it.
Do you make reflective road signs in Arabic and English?
Yes. Information and direction signs are normally bilingual, and we design both scripts together so each reads at the same distance. Regulatory signs rely on standard symbols with short text where the format requires it. We check every name against the approved spelling list, so the road signs agree with the street name signs and the community map.
Do you install road signs outside Dubai?
Yes. Our crews install across Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Umm Al Quwain and Fujairah, including foundations and posts. The site survey is free in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman, and we can work night shifts where a road cannot close during the day.
Can faded or damaged reflective road signs be replaced one at a time?
Yes. Each sign is a separate plate on its own fixings, so a struck post or a faded face can be replaced without touching the rest of the set. We keep the artwork for the signs we make, so a replacement matches its neighbours in size, lettering and sheeting grade.
