? Customers Questions

Fire Exit Arrow Down Left Tactile and Braille Sign questions answered

What does a Fire Exit Arrow Down Left Tactile and Braille Sign mean? It tells readers that the escape route continues downwards and to the left from where they are standing, using tactile detail and Braille to support touch reading.

Where should this tactile and Braille fire exit sign be installed? Install it on upper-floor levels, near stair approaches, landings and route-change points where blind or partially sighted users may need tactile confirmation of the correct direction.

When should this sign not be used on its own? It should not be relied on as the only means of escape guidance where wider visual and accessible wayfinding measures are needed across the route.

Why would I choose a tactile and Braille sign instead of a standard sign? Choose this format where inclusive route guidance is needed for blind or partially sighted users, especially where close-range touch-readable confirmation adds value.

Is adhesive backing suitable for every surface? Adhesive backing is best on smooth, clean indoor surfaces. If the wall is dirty, uneven or otherwise unsuitable, another fixing approach may be more reliable.
