Custom Braille and Tactile Signage:
Creating Fully Inclusive Spaces
At Widd, we manufacture custom Braille and tactile signage with raised lettering, high-contrast finishes, and compliant layouts to ensure full accessibility across commercial and public spaces.
Inclusivity and Accessibility in Physical Spaces
A truly welcoming commercial environment ensures every student, staff member, and visitor can navigate your premises independently and safely. Braille and tactile signage play a critical role in accessible wayfinding, providing essential spatial information for individuals who are blind, partially sighted, or visually impaired.
At Widd, we believe that accessible design should seamlessly integrate into your overall brand aesthetic. From our manufacturing hubs in Leeds and St Helens, we combine expert knowledge in Braille application and tactile layout guidelines with modern fabrication techniques.
Whether you are updating a care home, modernizing an educational campus, or ensuring your corporate office meets full accessibility compliance, our friendly team designs and manufactures tactile solutions that look premium and perform flawlessly.
Our Braille and Tactile Signage Capabilities
Every accessible sign we manufacture is produced in-house to strict industry standards, ensuring precise dot dimensions, character spacing, and legibility.
In-House Braille Production: Using specialized manufacturing tools, we apply accurate, durable Braille dots directly to sign faces. Our team ensures correct layout, spacing, and positioning based on established accessibility guidelines.
Tactile Raised Lettering and Symbols: For visitors who rely on touch to read room names and door numbers, we manufacture embossed and raised tactile characters. Utilizing precision laser cutting and mechanical engraving, we create clean, smooth-edged raised lettering that is comfortable and easy to read by hand.
High-Contrast and Anti-Glare Finishes: Visual legibility is just as important as touch. We select background and text colors that provide strong visual contrast, ensuring text remains clear for partially sighted individuals. We also apply glare-free, smooth surface finishes to eliminate harsh reflections from overhead lighting.
Accessible Door and Room Identifiers: Perfect for care homes, healthcare facilities, schools, and offices, we produce compliant door plates for accessible toilets, lift lobbies, stairwells, and key room numbers, designed to be mounted at optimal viewing and touch heights.
Built for Safety, Compliance, and Longevity
Tactile signs are designed to be touched constantly, which means they must stand up to heavy daily use and routine cleaning. We manufacture our accessible panels using robust, easy-clean materials that maintain their hygienic surfaces and crisp detailing over time.
By keeping our Braille production and engraving in-house, Widd gives you total confidence in quality control, layout accuracy, and regulatory compliance. We help you create an inclusive physical environment where every visitor feels welcomed, valued, and confident.
