The Disability Discrimination Act of 1995 (UK) guarantees equal access to all people using public buildings. Once the legislation is fully enforced in the UK in 2004, Tactile and Braille signs will have to be used by law in all public buildings; from offices and factories to hospitals and hotels; on toilets, bathroom and hotel bedroom doors, lift call buttons, at the top and bottom of stairs and wherever public safety is at risk. Take action early and let us help you plan your strategy for the new legislation.

Benefits of our Tactile and Braille Signs

Grade 2 Braille with rounded edges to protect the finger tips of the user.
Raised Tactile text and graphics in highly contrasting colour for easier definition
Braille dot location consistently positioned at the bottom left hand corner of the sign, eliminating the need for the non-sighted user to "hunt" to locate the Braille.
Designed to be a very vandal resistant sign. Impossible to scratch off the background or letter color. The background color is sub-surface. Letters and symbols, face and edges, are an integral color. No exposed painted surface.
The sign and letters are made from an anti glare material so partially sighted people can read them easier.
