Tactile signing is a common means of communication used by people with both a
sight and hearing impairment, which is based on a standard system of Deaf manual
signs.
Although we display the white on a blue background and the black on a white
background tactile signs, these are not the only two colour
schemes that GRS Sign Company Limited produces for tactile signs.

From temporary signs to long lasting Class 1 reflective signs,
aluminium signs give
the strength, flexibility and long term wear to make them look good and be cost
effective. Aluminium gives a good base for corporate identity and advertising
signs. 11g aluminium road signs are made where necessary to comply with
Road Traffic Regulations.
Aluminium composite sheet is also used by the company. This is two layers
of aluminium with a plastic centre. Benefits are strength, light weight, resists
expansion and contraction and has a durable weatherproof face for long life.

Braille Signs
If you are interested in ordering braille signs from us, you might be interested in
our online ordering page for braille & tactile signs.
A good example of a braille sign in-situ. This one clearly shows the raised
sections of tactile material
on the sign. The braille rasters which are metal, can also be very clearly
seen.
The material this braille sign is made from is
anodised aluminium, in slatz
form.
Here is a close-up look at a braille sign in action. It is
used in this context to notify where a staff toilet is located, and if you
look carefully you can see the tactile pictograms above the braille.
This is a modular
braille sign,
made from aluminium
slatz. Again, as with most braille signs, it is linked with the
pictographic version of what the braille reads as.
Another braille sign like the other two, although this one is
a little darker showing the contrast better. You will also notice the
wayfinding
number at the top of the sign.
