Product Details
3mm matt black Perspex acrylic, a premium, non-reflective substrate. Custom sizes also availble.
UV DTF raised tactile print layer, UV digital transfer film builds up a raised surface of tactile dots and text directly on the acrylic face, creating braille-style identification that can be read by touch as well as sight.
Made in the UK, produced at our own in-house facility so quality is consistent and lead times stay short.
Four set sizes for the most common applications, 150 x 150mm square for pictograms and washroom signs, 250 x 60mm for door and room plates, 150 x 225mm for multi-symbol and portrait layouts, and 300 x 150mm for directional wayfinding and combined text signs.
VHB tape recommended for flush mounting, the industry standard for tactile signs that will be physically touched and read, keeping the sign stable against the wall and the tactile surface unobstructed during use.
Aluminium wall spacers also available, standoff fixings available at checkout, though VHB tape is recommended for most tactile signage installations.
High contrast against light walls, matt black reads with particular clarity against white, cream and light grey walls, making it well suited to contemporary office, hotel and hospitality interiors where a more architectural signage palette is preferred.
1 x Black matt acrylic braille sign (size as selected) with UV DTF raised tactile print layer
VHB tape fixings included.
These signs use UV DTF technology to produce a raised tactile print layer on the acrylic surface, suitable for braille-style identification and tactile wayfinding applications. UK Sign Shop does not make any claim that these products are DDA compliant, nor that they meet any specific accessibility standard or regulation. Whether a sign is suitable for your project is a matter for your designer, architect or accessibility consultant to confirm. We recommend consulting BS 8300 or your project's accessibility specification before placing your order.
Tactile and braille signs are typically installed at between 1400mm and 1700mm above finished floor level, though your specific project requirements or local guidance may vary. Please confirm the correct mounting position with your accessibility consultant or specifier before installation.
VHB tape is the recommended fixing method for tactile signs that will be physically read by users. Flush-mounting keeps the sign stable when touched and avoids any obstruction to the hand moving across the braille matrix. Aluminium wall spacers are available but may not suit all tactile signage installations. Consider the end user's needs carefully when selecting your fixing option.
These signs are designed for indoor use. The matt acrylic surface is easy to clean with a soft damp cloth. Avoid abrasive cleaning materials that could scratch the surface or damage the tactile print layer.
Before fixing, confirm the correct mounting height for your application. Tactile signs are typically positioned at between 1400mm and 1700mm above finished floor level.
If using VHB tape (recommended), clean the wall surface thoroughly with an alcohol wipe and allow to dry fully. Remove the tape backing from the reverse of the sign and press it firmly to the wall at the correct height. Apply steady pressure across the full sign face for at least 30 seconds.
Check the sign is level and secure. Confirm all tactile elements are undamaged and readable by touch before the area is returned to use.
