Tactile Signs UK

Tactile signs are commonly used by the visually impaired and others to assist them in understanding general instructions and way finding. There are several types of tactile signs in the UK that can be used to ensure your premises and business conform with mandatory laws governing signage, such as the Disability Discrimination Act.

To understand the importance of tactile signs, it is vital to understand their role in communication. Basically, tactile signs convey meaning using raised letters and possibly symbols rather than words, although they can be used in combination. A further aim of tactile signs is to be very easily visible, with sharply contrasting background and foreground colours, combinations which are set out in dda guidelines. The symbols are also often raised from the background surface, allowing their outline to be traced by fingers and meaning discerned. To increase their effectiveness, tactile signs can also have Braille to allow the blind Braille readers to read and understand their meaning.

In the UK, tactile signs are becoming more and more widely used both in public and on commercial premises, with not only mandatory signs being displayed but also a range of other tactile and braille signs that are often unique to certain businesses.
