Identify floor level 9 for blind and partially sighted people with a raised tactile numeral and Grade 1 Braille. The high-contrast 150 x 150mm sign is designed for accessible indoor floor identification at key building access points.
Floor Level Number 9 Tactile and Braille Signs identify level 9 for blind and partially sighted people with a raised numeral and Grade 1 Braille. Install the sign beside a lift, stair or landing access point so the floor can be confirmed by sight or touch at the point it matters.
Where to Install
You should position this number 9 sign at the point where someone needs to confirm they have reached level 9, such as beside a lift entrance, on a stair landing or next to the relevant access point. Keep it within comfortable hand reach, on an unobstructed wall surface and in a consistent position throughout the building so users can locate the tactile information without unnecessary searching.
Viewing Distance
This is primarily a close-range tactile identification sign rather than a long-distance directional sign. Its 150 x 150mm size should therefore be considered alongside touch access, sightline and consistent placement. A precise certified visual viewing distance cannot be responsibly stated without the confirmed height of the displayed numeral.
| Sign size | Practical use | Positioning guidance |
|---|---|---|
| H 150 x W 150mm | Close-range floor identification | Position where the user can approach the sign and comfortably reach the raised numeral and Braille. Do not select or position this tactile sign on visual viewing distance alone. |
Expected Safety Outcomes After Installation
Correct positioning gives people another clear way to confirm that they have reached level 9, particularly where visual-only floor identification may not be sufficient.
✅ Clearer recognition of level 9 at the point where the user arrives on the floor.
✅ Better access to floor information for people who identify signs through touch.
✅ Reduced uncertainty when moving between levels in a multi-storey building.

Installation Guidance
Avoid poor positioning
❌ Do not place the sign where an open door, furniture or equipment can obstruct it.
❌ Do not position it so high or low that the tactile number and Braille are difficult to reach.
❌ Do not vary its location unnecessarily between different floors if consistent positioning is practical.
Know its limitations
❌ Do not use this indoor sign where weather or outdoor exposure is expected.
❌ Do not rely on it to provide illumination or enhanced visibility in darkness; it is non-photoluminescent and non-reflective.
❌ Do not treat a single floor identifier as a substitute for the wider accessible information needed throughout a complex building.
Position it for effective use
✅ Install it at the level 9 arrival or decision point where users naturally need confirmation of their location.
✅ Keep the sign unobstructed, well lit and physically accessible for tactile reading.
✅ Apply the permanent self-adhesive backing to a suitable clean surface and check that the sign remains securely positioned and easy to locate.
Frequently asked questions
What are Floor Level Number 9 Tactile And Braille Signs used for? They identify level 9 using a large visible numeral, raised tactile lettering and Grade 1 Braille, helping blind and partially sighted people confirm which floor they have reached.
Where should I position the number 9 Braille sign? Place it beside the lift, stair landing or other access point where a person arriving on level 9 would naturally look for or reach for floor identification. Keep the position consistent with equivalent signs on other levels.
Can the sign be mounted where people cannot physically reach it? That would reduce the value of its tactile and Braille features. Choose an unobstructed wall position that allows the raised information to be reached comfortably.
Is the sign intended for outdoor use? No. The confirmed specification identifies this product for indoor display, so another product should be selected where outdoor exposure is required.
Does this sign glow or reflect in low light? No. It is non-photoluminescent and non-reflective, so adequate ambient lighting should be considered when visual recognition is important.

Related tactile and braille signs
On upper floors, tactile and braille stairs signs help users identify stair access when moving between levels.
Where lift access serves the ninth floor, lift tactile and braille signs provide a clear tactile reference at the lift entrance or landing.
For buildings using numbered floor identification throughout, floor level 1 tactile and braille signs help maintain the same approach on the first floor.
You can build a consistent floor-identification system by selecting further messages from the tactile and braille signs range.
