It is highlighted that not all braille and tactile signs are the manufactured the same way. The signage industry both here and overseas is full of manufacturers who use inferior production methods and materials to produce poor quality braille and tactile signs.
This results in poor quality signs entering the Australian market due to the cost saving factors they offer to those who purchase them. It is important that clients understand the unforeseen replacement costs that may arise when they fail. In many cases clients choosing cheaper products risk their signs being non-compliant to relevant standards or codes.
Below is an example of an inferior sign:
When purchasing from Bractile signs you are choosing a fully compliant trusted brand which supplies high quality manufactured signs at a reasonable price.
Our braille and tactile signs are:
- Manufactured from PVC to a depth of 3mm (no backing panel is required);
- Injection moulded so that all graphics are of a continuous nature for hygiene purposes;
- Moulded signs mean that adhesive failure on symbols, letters and braille dots is impossible which in turn extends the life of each sign;
- Silver signs are coated with a micro metallic silver acrylic lacquer to give the appearance of clear anodized aluminium that is also UV resistant; and
- Comply with BCA Specification D3.6 and AS1428.1-2009.
