The DDA act makes it law for service providers to consider and implement "reasonable" solutions so disabled customers get better access to goods and services. This includes hotels, shops, banks, local authorities, sports and arts venues, surgeries and hospitals. In recent years the DDA sign market has seen considerable growth.

Braille & Tactile signs are produced by sandwiching together layers of Substrate (base) & Appliqué (top) materials with an adhesive tape (tape can be pre-applied).

The tactile elements are created by cutting through the Appliqué and 'weeding' away the unwanted background.

The Braille holes are machined into the Substrate and 'raster' Braille beads inserted. Suregrave also supply software with inbuilt Braille type 1 & 2 translation and tools to insert the raster beads.

Suregrave stock everything you need to create colourful and classic UV stable DDA signage.

Materials
SureTouch is a UV stable two part material comprising a bottom layer (substrate) and cutting out letters & symbols from the top appliqué layer. The Braille element is produced using the Braille translator within our software's. The locators for the Braille dots are machined to an accurate depth and acrylic beads are pressed into the hole.

Machine
This will most likely be dictated by the size of the signs you wish to produce. SureTouch material is free cutting and the Wizzard 12, Wizzard 16, Rotation S, 2516i and 4824i are all capable of cutting out the tactile & Braille elements of the signs.
