Raised characters that can be read by touch
Tactile signs in Houston include raised characters and Braille that can be read by touch. MSK Sign Company creates tactile signs for room identification, restrooms, stairwells and exits. They help people with visual impairments navigate independently. Tactile signage is a core part of accessible design in offices, schools, hospitals and hotels.
Tactile characters must be raised to a specific height, use certain fonts and sizes and be paired with Braille. Signs must be mounted where people can reach them. Tactile signs can be made in many colors and shapes. Pictograms on tactile signs are usually paired with text and Braille below the symbol.
