Braille By Using Braille beads on a textured sign our signage offers assistance for the 20,000 Braille users in the UK and those with visual impairments. Our Braille signs are custom made to a high standard and we can even convert your text into braille format if necessary. Tactile Our Tactile signs are made of two layers of contrasting coloured material where one layer makes up the detail of the sign. The detail on the sign is raised so that it is noticable by touch and easier to see. The constrasting colours on the sign improve visibility, making the detail clearer. The Disability Discrimination Act There are over 20,000 Braille users and over two million people with sight related disabilities in the UK. The government have put an act in place to ensure that those with disabiltiies are not discriminated against when trying to access goods, when in employment or during education.
