Why Stainless Steel Outlasts the Rest
Our stainless steel signs are made from 316-grade stainless steel - the premium choice for signage in demanding environments. Unlike standard stainless steel, 316 grade contains molybdenum, which significantly enhances its resistance to chloride corrosion, making it the material of choice for pool signage, coastal properties, marine facilities and anywhere exposed to salt air, humidity or chemicals.
Marine grade stainless steel is a steel alloy containing a minimum of 10.5% chromium plus the added molybdenum content that forms a robust passive layer on the surface — resisting corrosion, staining and rust even under constant exposure to water, chlorine, and UV. This makes it the preferred material for swimming pool signage, where harsh conditions are unavoidable.
Pool Depth Signs in Stainless Steel
Pool depth signs are a compliance requirement at commercial and public swimming pools across Australia. Clearly marked water depth indicators help prevent diving injuries and ensure swimmers are aware of water depth before entering. Marine grade stainless steel is the ideal substrate for pool depth signs for several reasons:
- Fully corrosion-resistant — unaffected by chlorine, salt water, and poolside chemicals
- Weatherproof and UV-stable for permanent outdoor installation
- Rigid and impact-resistant — maintains legibility and structural integrity over time
- Premium finish suits aquatic centres, hotels, strata complexes, and public facilities
- Easy to clean and maintain in pool environments
Where to Install Pool Depth Signs
Pool depth signs should be installed at the pool's edge at regular intervals, clearly visible to anyone approaching the water. For diving end and shallow end demarcation, additional signage is recommended to clearly distinguish zones and meet Australian pool safety standards.
