Accessibility in the workplace and public spaces is not just a legal requirement; it’s a moral obligation to ensure everyone can navigate your facilities safely and independently. When it comes to tactile and braille signage, quality, durability, and compliance are everything.
Here is the accurately extracted text content from the image: Why choose our braille signs?
Here is a quick overview of why our injection-moulded signs are the ultimate choice for your facility:
Extreme Durability: One-piece moulding eliminates the risk of peeling or vandalism.
Self-Supporting: Extra thick 3mm PVC means no backing panels are needed.
Ultra-Hygienic: Continuous surface design prevents dirt buildup in critical environments.
High Visibility: Guaranteed 30% luminance-contrast for easy reading by those with partial vision impairment.
100% Compliant: Meets all stringent Australian BCA and AS standards.
When investing in accessibility, the materials you choose matter immensely. Our signs are manufactured from PVC to a depth of 3mm (because of the thickness no backing panel is required). This robust, heavy-duty construction ensures they stand up to the rigors of heavy daily use in high-traffic areas like hospitals, schools, shopping centers, and commercial office buildings.
Our signs are injection moulded so that all graphics are of a continuous nature for hygiene purposes as set out in Building Code of Australia BCA section D3.6. Furthermore, our entire range strictly adheres to national standards to keep your building fully certified and legally protected:
Complies with The Building Code of Australia (Section D3.6).
Complies with Design for Access and Mobility (AS1428.1-2011).
Complies with Public Information Symbol Signs (AS2899.1-1986).
The continuous, one-piece construction of our signage provides massive long-term benefits for facility managers. Moulded signs mean that adhesive failure on symbols, letters and braille dots is impossible, which in turn extends the life of each sign. Unlike cheaper layered alternatives where the raised dots can be picked off or easily worn down, our signs remain fully functional year after year.
Additionally, tactile characters and symbols have a minimum 30% luminance–contrast with the background. This means it will be easy to read when light reflects on it, ensuring maximum visibility under varied lighting conditions.
Tips for Installing and Maintaining Braille Signs:
Installation Height: Always install braille signs at the correct height to meet AS1428.1 standards. The braille and tactile components must be located not less than 1200mm and not higher than 1600mm above the floor.
Location Matters: Place signs on the wall on the latch side of the door. This allows visually impaired users to easily find the door handle immediately after reading the sign.
Easy Cleaning: Thanks to the hygienic continuous moulding, you can safely wipe down these signs with standard antibacterial facility cleaners without worrying about degrading adhesives or damaging the braille dots.
Upgrading your building’s accessibility has never been easier or more reliable. Don’t risk failed inspections or alienate your visitors with substandard, peeling signage. Secure your facility with high-quality, Australian-compliant products today.
