Sentile™
Disability Discrimination Act (DDA) signage are
signs which are specifically designed for the visually impaired. Those signs
which are within reach have to include Braille and
tactile lettering, numerals and symbols.
Sentile™ signs are fully compliant with current DDA reccommendations
and guidelines.
What is Braille?
Braille is the use of raised, domed protrusions on a surface in the form of
the Braille alphabet. This system is used to convey information to those with
knowledge of Braille.
There are variations on the
methods of Braille used on signs, such as Raster, Moulded, Photopolymer and
etched metal.
Sentile™ signs use the Raster Braille method, which
is widely acknowledged as being the preferred method by Braille users.
An additional consideration for these signs is the text, which should be in
relief from the sign surface. The text should also have chamfered edges to
aid and enhance tactile interpretation of the information.
