Braille Washroom Signs


Braille signs remove accessibility barriers for visually impaired-individuals. This is done by following a very particular procedure during production.

These signs are specially designed to be easier to spot by taking advantage of a strong contrast between the foreground and the background. A good example is a typical white symbol on a blue background, which makes the sign distinctive and easy to notice.

Furthermore, these information signs have a raised surface, which makes it possible for visually impaired and blind individuals to read the information that is being conveyed. They can discern this by touching them, feeling the raised letters, symbols and pictograms with their fingertips.

This makes the experience of visiting or working in your premises much more comfortable for those with visual impairments and sight loss, making the signage more accessible to people of all abilities and showing that your company supports equal opportunities.

Certain tactile and Braille safety signs provide comprehensive safety instructions or information, such as those for fire safety which are essential for any workplace. Visually-impaired individuals use these signs for the purposes of orientation and finding their way around premises.

You might also want to think about installing floor level Braille signs. These kinds of signs provide important information regarding what floor people are on so they can plan their movements more easily.

What makes a good braille sign?


Good braille signage is accessible and easy to read. Braille lettering should be contoured so that a person can run their fingers over the raised dots easily. Raised dots are much easier to read than recessed or engraved dots and should be raised by at least 0.5mm. Directional signs such as Toilets (Arrow Right) - Tactile & Braille Safety Sign should be clear and unambiguous in their message.
Grade 1 braille is the preferred braille code for basic labelling for toilet signage, as it is a letter-for-letter substitution for its printed counterpart, and is the most accessible code for beginners.

Where should braille bathroom signs be placed?


Locational signs such as toilet braille signs need to be located near enough to be touched so that anybody with a visual impairment is able to read the braille.
Placing signs at a consistent height and location in relation to the washrooms allows them to be readily located.

Ensure that signage is not obstructed by, for example, a bin or other obstruction. People need to be able to physically reach and touch the sign in order to easily read the braille.
Disabled toilet signs need to be accessible to someone who may be in a wheelchair, so need to be at an appropriate height to be easily reached.

Inclusive Communication


By installing washroom and cleaning Braille signs, you're helping visually-impaired people become more independent, boosting their confidence when it comes to negotiating your premises and making their daily duties less of a hassle.

Another benefit of these signs is that they are completely language-independent. Although sometimes mistakenly thought of as another language, braille is in fact a code.This means that no matter what language the visually-impaired individual may speak, the Braille message translates across al languagesl.

In public and commercial premises it is essential that these signs are clearly displayed. Having clear braille bathroom signs is particularly important. No matter what kind of restrooms you may have, we're confident that we can provide you with all the washroom and cleaning Braille signs that suit the specific requirements of your premises.

This is of paramount importance when considering that these signs need to be easily seen by those with limited sight abilities and touched often by those who read Braille.
