Traffic Cones reflective
Reflective traffic cones - I and II generation
Reflective traffic cones – essential safety after dark
Reflective traffic cones are the absolute foundation for cordoning off hazardous zones, roadworks, and breakdown areas, especially in conditions of limited visibility. In the Sorfan store's offer, you will find a wide selection of cones with high-quality reflective foil, available in a full range of heights: from compact 30 cm, through standard 50 and 75 cm, up to highway models of 100 cm. Each of them ensures that the excluded traffic zone is spotted by drivers well in advance.
The key to the effectiveness of reflective cones lies in the use of certified luminous materials. The beams from approaching vehicles' headlights reflect off the bands applied to the cone, creating a bright, clear barrier line on the road. Our products are made of durable PE (polyethylene) or flexible PVC with a recycled base, providing them not only with excellent visibility but also mechanical resistance.
Why choose cones with reflective foil?
Choosing reflective models is an investment in the life and health of road workers and drivers. The main advantages of this solution are:
- 24/7 active visibility: During the day, the bright orange color catches the eye; at night, the reflective foil bounces light back.
- Tailored to needs: The availability of Class I and II foil allows you to match the cone to the road type and speed limit.
- Versatility of sizes: From 30 cm for indoors and parking lots, up to 100 cm for express routes.
- Weather resistance: High-grade adhesives and foils prevent the reflectors from peeling off during rain, snow, or heatwaves.
Application: Where will a reflective cone prove useful?
They are required by regulations for all roadworks conducted after dusk and in the lanes of high-traffic roads. Reflective cones are indispensable during traffic accidents (used by the Police and Fire Brigade), on unlit car parks, in warehouse loading zones operating in shift systems, and when designating temporary detours.
Expert opinion - how to choose the type of reflection?
A key mistake when purchasing is ignoring the foil class. If you need cones for urban or municipal roads, or for industrial zones – Class I foil is perfectly sufficient. However, if you are securing works on national roads, expressways, and motorways where speeds are much higher, regulations require Class II foil. It features a "honeycomb" structure that reflects light much more strongly, giving the driver precious seconds to brake.
FAQ – Frequently asked questions about reflective cones
What is the difference between a painted and a reflective band?
Painted bands (ordinary white paint) are visible only in daylight – after dark, the cone blends into the surroundings. A reflective band acts like a mirror for car headlights. It throws a clear reflection back towards the driver, which is absolutely necessary to maintain safety at night.
What height of reflective cone should I choose?
The height should be matched to the workplace: 30 cm is the ideal choice for car parks and halls; 50 cm is the standard for roads in built-up areas; 75 cm works well on national roads, while 100 cm is reserved for motorways and expressways. The higher the vehicle speed on the road, the taller the cone should be.
Won't the reflectors peel off the cones?
The high-quality cones offered in our store have foils applied at the factory using specialized, strong adhesives. Often, the foil is placed in a special recess (groove) on the cone, which additionally protects its edges from tearing during stacking (putting cones one inside the other).
What does Class I and II foil mean?
This is a classification of reflection strength. Class I (often smooth) reflects enough light for urban applications. Class II (with a micro-prismatic / honeycomb structure) reflects much more light at different angles and is noticeable from a much greater distance, making it mandatory on high-speed roads.
