JALITE your trusted source:

Established in 1983, JALITE is a family-owned business, built on the innovation from our late director John Creak. John used his background in chemistry to perfect the photometric pigments to create the world leading JALITE AAA photoluminescent material, for fire safety signs and fire safety products.

He worked to expand our global markets and international footprint, whilst eliciting the help of his twin brother Jim Creak who cultivated relationships with many of you in the UK. Jim is now a consultant of the business, using his technical expertise and quality assurance to educate the next generation of safety professionals.

JALITE Photoluminescent Luminance Performance:

The creation of JALITE AAA photoluminescence was a key milestone in the JALITE journey. John’s innovation set a new industry benchmark for performance, that was unmatched and decades ahead of the rest of the industry. JALITE AAA photoluminescent class C+ material, has always been 3 times the optical brightness since John created it. JALITE AAA photoluminescent products are always class C+ luminance performance as a minimum, both effective and the best performing in low-light or dark conditions. JALITE AAA photoluminescent material has a 30+ year shelf life and is available in both rigid and vinyl PVC.

JALITE Compliance to Legislation:

JALITE beginnings coincided with a timeline of disasters in the 1980s, with the Piper Alpha Oil Catastrophe that saw 167 lose their lives. These disasters emphasised the need for fire protection for people whilst at work. At the time, JALITE was already positioned within the industry, with our photoluminescent products already installed; primed and ready to be the solution as demand for fire safety signs increased.

With tragedies like Grenfell, legislation rightfully developed to look at the intricacies involved in protecting people at home as well.

JALITE is the solutions to compliance to legislation, and minimising risks of injury, harm, and death for occupants.  

JALITE fire safety signs comply to the following legislation:

  • The Health and Safety (Safety Signs and Signals) Regulations 1996
  • The Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005
  • The Building Regulations 2010
  • The Fire Safety (England) Regulations 2022.
