Identify Level 1 clearly for blind and partially sighted people with a raised tactile numeral and Grade 1 Braille. The 150 x 150mm self-adhesive sign is designed for indoor wall mounting near lift and stair arrival points.
Floor Level 1 tactile and Braille sign identifies the first floor for blind and partially sighted people. Position it on a fixed indoor wall beside a lift exit, stair landing or other level-change point so users can confirm their location visually and by touch before moving on.
Where to Install
Install the sign on a fixed, unobstructed indoor wall beside the Level 1 lift exit, stair landing or another point where someone arriving on the floor naturally needs to confirm their location. Keep it easy to approach and touch, rather than placing it above normal reach or where doors, furniture or other fittings prevent tactile access. Where several floors use tactile identification, consistent positioning makes the information easier to locate.
Viewing Distance
This is primarily a close-range tactile identification sign, so access by hand is more important than assigning a long-distance visual rating. No certified numerical viewing distance is stated for this product.
| Sign size | Practical use | Distance guidance |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 150mm | Close-range floor identification at lifts, stairs and landing points | Position where the user can approach and comfortably reach the tactile numeral and Braille; no certified viewing distance is specified |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Correct placement gives people a clearer way to confirm that they have reached Level 1 at the point where that information is needed, supporting more confident orientation within the building.
✅ Gives blind users a tactile and Braille reference for identifying Level 1.
✅ Gives partially sighted users a clear white-on-blue floor number for close-range recognition.
✅ Reduces uncertainty at lift and stair arrival points by identifying the floor where the decision is made.

Installation Guidance
Avoid hard-to-find positions
❌ Do not mount where an open door or furniture blocks access.
❌ Do not position so high that the tactile information cannot comfortably be reached.
❌ Do not hide the sign among unrelated information or visual clutter.
❌ Do not place it away from the point where users actually arrive on Level 1.
Know what this sign does not provide
❌ Do not rely on it as the sole means of navigating an entire building.
❌ Do not use it as a substitute for suitable emergency, directional or hazard information.
❌ Do not depend on it to provide illumination in darkness; it is non-photoluminescent.
❌ Do not install outdoors because the confirmed display area is indoors.
Make Level 1 easy to confirm
✅ Use a fixed wall position close to the relevant lift, stair or landing arrival point.
✅ Keep the face and tactile elements unobstructed and accessible by hand.
✅ Choose a clean, suitable wall surface for the permanent self-adhesive backing.
✅ Where other floors use tactile identification, maintain a consistent location so users know where to find each floor number.
Frequently asked questions
Where should Floor Level Number 1 Tactile And Braille Signs be fitted? Position the sign on a fixed indoor wall beside a Level 1 lift exit, stair landing or other arrival point where users can approach and reach it by touch.
Is this sign suitable for outdoor installation? No. The confirmed display area for this product is indoors.
Should I attach the sign to a moving lift door? A fixed adjacent wall is preferable because it keeps the tactile information in a consistent, accessible position.
Does the Level 1 sign glow or reflect in low light? No. It is non-photoluminescent and non-reflective, so suitable lighting should be considered where visual recognition is important.
Is one Level 1 sign enough for an accessible building? It identifies this particular floor only. Buildings with several floors, routes or facilities may need a consistent wider system of accessible identification appropriate to the premises.

Related tactile and braille signs
Where the building also uses entrance-level identification, ground floor tactile and braille signs help distinguish the ground floor from numbered storeys.
In multi-storey premises, floor level 9 tactile and braille signs provide matching tactile identification for the ninth floor.
Where the first floor is reached by lift, lift tactile and braille signs help users identify the lift point before or after travelling between levels.
