Braille & Tactile Signs

Accessibility is our Business

Consider those people with visual limitations, those over 65 or even those who speak English as a second language. They are all  people who rely on Braille and tactile accessible sign systems, usng Braille, tactile and audio elements to assist them in navigating large buildings and public facilities safely and on their own. 

Signs located in public areas must accommodate not only these groups, but also the general public who also rely on clear visual signage to be properly directed from point A to point B.

We Understand Accessibility

Accessibility is our business. At Eye Catch Signs we design, manufacture and install custom and modular Braille and tactile signage, Braille and tactile maps and audio signage to fulfill the needs of our clients.
