Braille Strips
A practical solution for integrating Braille into existing signage.
Braille Strips are designed to be applied to existing signs, directories, lifts, or information panels, allowing Braille to be added without the need to replace the entire sign.
They provide a simple and effective way to improve accessibility, particularly in retrofit environments or where signage has already been installed.
Where Braille Strips Are Used
Braille Strips are commonly used in:
• Existing Fit-Outs Requiring Accessibility Upgrades
• Retrofitting Braille to Non-Compliant Signage
• Directories and Information Panels
• Projects Managed by Signage Contractors Requiring Braille Integration
Designed for Clarity and Compliance
Braille Strips are available across all three BTS Aust. technologies, allowing the solution to be tailored to the environment and application.
• CSE_Tech (Polycarbonate)
• ADA_Tech ((Polycarbonate or Aluminium)
• MLP_Tech (Various)
Key features include:
• Continuous Surface Braille Technology
• Suitable for Indoor and Outdoor Applications
• Resistant to Vandalism, Fire, Bacteria, Graffiti, and UV
• Flexible Options for Curved Surfaces
• Lightweight and Easy to Install
Materials and Finishes
Braille Strips can be produced to align with existing signage through a range of materials and finishes.
• Polycarbonate – Clear or Colour Matched Options
• Aluminium – Brushed Silver, Brushed Gold, and Satin Natural Anodised
This allows integration with existing signage while maintaining a consistent appearance.
Best Practice Consideration
While Braille Strips provide a practical solution in certain scenarios, a fully manufactured Braille Tactile Sign is typically the preferred approach for long-term compliance, durability, and consistency.
Braille Strips may be appropriate:
• As a Retrofit Solution
• In Beyond Compliance Applications
• Where a Performance Solution is Supported by an Accredited Access Consultant
This ensures the chosen approach aligns with both compliance requirements and practical outcomes.
Supporting Accessibility Outcomes
Braille Strips support:
• Improved Accessibility in Existing Environments
• More Inclusive Spaces
• Practical Upgrades Without Full Replacement
A simple solution that can make a meaningful difference when applied appropriately.
