Product Information
The OLTON is Philip Payne’s design-led family of fittings that brings genuine architectural intent to a product category that too often settles for the functional and forgettable. Conceived as the successor to the 250MC, the OLTON range introduces a more contemporary, flexible platform that reflects the evolving expectations of specifiers working on the UK’s most discerning interiors.
OLTON CYLINDER
Circular extrusion profile – the refined evolution of the 250MC, suited to soft, organic and hospitality-led schemes.
OLTON SQUARE
New cuboid extrusion profile – crisp, architectural geometry for structured, linear, and contemporary commercial environments.
Both variants are available for wall and ceiling mounting, recessed and surface, and share OLTON’s defining characteristic: a slim, precise form that keeps the legend panel as the primary visual element. The precision-engineered housing and 8mm acrylic legend panel deliver sharp definition and a finish that speaks of quality the moment it’s seen, not merely when it’s inspected.
OLTON is available in an extensive palette of metallic and solid finishes, each chosen to complement the materials language of premium commercial, hospitality, and cultural interiors. For projects demanding something truly bespoke, custom finish options are available, because a building with an exceptional interior deserves signage that’s been considered to the same standard.
Made in Britain, OLTON is built to the exacting standards Philip Payne has upheld for decades – durability and craftsmanship that endure long after installation. Advanced emergency control gear is fully supported across the range, including DALI and wireless Specto-XT monitoring, alongside long-life lithium battery technology. A favourable TM65 embodied carbon rating underlines OLTON’s credentials for sustainability-conscious projects.
For statement buildings where every detail counts, OLTON delivers emergency signage that earns its place in the architecture – not just on the escape route.
