Braile Signage and Tactile Signs
A tactile sign means that the images or lettering on a sign have been slightly raised so that the reader is able to feel for the particular lettering. Braille signage is printed using raised Braille enabling the reader to feel the words written. The signs are printed in white against a coloured background to allow those with partial sight to distinguish the signs against white or light coloured walls.
Our Braille and tactile signs are manufactured using a highly durable photopolymer substrate. Each character is formed directly on the surface of the sign, which means that they cannot be picked, peeled or detached. The result is a superior sign with clean, crisp and non-rounded edges, which can be easily read by both sight and touch.
Our standard range of Braille and tactile signs includes door signs for room id and toilets, lift signs, reception signs, warning signs, fire signs, first aid signs and mandatory signs. The majority of signs we sell encompass both Braille and tactile elements but it is possible to have one or the other. We also supply businesses with bespoke signage in a range of colours and sizes for various applications.
In 2004 under the DDA it became necessary for all businesses to make “reasonable adjustments” to the physical features of their premises to overcome physical barriers to access. Adding Braille and tactile signs are considered “reasonable adjustments.”
