Braille and Tactile Signs
Touch your customers with Braille and tactile Signs
In order to meet the requirements as set down by the Disability Discrimination (DDA) 1995, braille and tactile signage needs to conform whether talking about either external of internal signs. According to these guidelines, all forms of disability need to be catered for, including visual impairment and learning difficulties.
At Elite Signs, weโre able to create acrylic braille signs, stainless steel braille signs and aluminium braille signs that integrate easily within your existing signage schemes. Our production processes allow us to manufacture cost-effective tactile and braille signs that meet all of your needs, as well as those relating to compliance.
Tactile Embossed Characters
The braille signs UK businesses can source from us are the equivalent to the ADA braille signs you get in the United States. ADA tactile signage (the same as the UKโs DDA) typically features embossed characters with a thickness of 1mm-1.5mm. Usually set as a colour that contrasts the background, legibility is greatly improved.
This applies whether talking about either outdoor or indoor ADA tactile signage and the raised dots form recognisable characters that usually sit alongside tactile text. The dots on ADA compliant braille signs are most often 1.4mm in diameter and are set with around ยฝ of their depth penetrating into the signโs surface.
A Consistent Manufacturing Approach
Whether manufacturing standard business signs or 3D printed braille signs, our approach is always the same – collaborative processes with a real attention to detail. The Elite Signs team has a vast amount of experience in the industry, so they understand exactly how to get the utmost out of a signage scheme.
We work closely with designers, architects and building owners to fully comprehend all of the branding, aesthetic and navigational considerations that need to be made. Our solutions ensure that all accessibility, Health & Safety and DDA regulations are met. So, when youโre looking online for braille signs near me, you know who to call!

Elite was very helpful and very easy to work with. I had an idea in mind of what I wanted and after a site visit from them I had my ideas brought to life with a CGI image and also a few other options which I was advised may work better. In the end I went with a mixture of both and I couldn’t have been happier with the results. I would recommend Elite to every business which are trying to improve there image and grow there brand. Thank you

We purchased 10 custom t-shirts for our company, Twisted Spokes (part of JMW Solicitors). All t-shirts were excellent, exactly what we asked for and what are needed. They were delivered quickly and efficiently. Will 100% use Elite again, and will recommend them to anyone.
