FIREWALL STENCILS

Stencils are not as commonly used for Firewall Signage but when stencils are required for the job and you still need the text to be compliant to IBC 703.7 2018 (see below for details) our Firewall Stencils are a great option. All our stencils are made from LDPE (Low-Density Polyethylene) making them flexible yet highly durable, so they are easy to use and last even after repeated use.
