  • Tactile Indicators
  • 4, 03, 2020

Accessibility is something that many of us take for granted. We can go about our daily lives without having to worry about reading signs, climbing stairs, or avoiding obstacles.

Accessibility, on the other hand, makes a huge difference for people who have vision problems. Blind and visually impaired people may struggle to enter and navigate a building without sufficient accessibility, making them reliant on others for assistance. And, while you’ve probably taken care of all of your other business needs, whether it’s security with Eminent Tactiles or other concerns, this could have been overlooked.

If you own or operate a business or organization, you must take steps to make your premises accessible to those who have vision impairments. How are you going to do that? 

Safeguarding Staircases and Floors

Stairs are an apparent requirement for proper accessibility, and you’ll find several excellent examples here. You have a legal obligation to guarantee that all of your stairways are safe, convenient, and accessible to the visually impaired.

Safeguarding Staircases and FloorsHandrails must be installed on both sides of your stairs and should be continuous down; if they aren’t, they must be long enough at either end to assist people in finding their way to the top or bottom. Handrails are an integral element of every public space or location where a stairwell is used to assist individuals who want assistance. Handrails must also have rounded ends or be attached to walls or posts at the top and bottom of the stairwell.

Bright colors or materials with a varied feel on the edge of each step should be used to guarantee that visitors can distinguish each new stair. Those with limited vision will be able to see the color change, while blind people will be able to feel the different textures with their feet or a stick.

  • The Value of Appropriate Signage

All signs classified as ‘architectural’ (related to a specific permanent space/fixture, exits, etc.) must be accessible to visually impaired people in various ways. Non-glare backgrounds and text, as well as strong color contrast, are crucial; without these safeguards, a sign may be unreadable. Raised lettering or braille should be used on signs to make them more tactile.

For extra convenience, signs identifying rooms or areas should be put next to the relevant door. The last thing you want is for any disabled persons on your property to become lost, confused, or irritated.

Visually impaired and blind persons, fortunately, have access to strong tools and components, which make navigating the world a little simpler.

We collect data from many areas, such as signs, to act as portable assistants. By installing suitable signage that caters to the visually impaired, you may create assistive products more effectively.

Hallways and walkways should never be disregarded.  To protect visually challenged people, the ADA requires that hallways and corridors have at least 80 inches of headroom. If this isn’t practicable, a secure physical barrier must be erected to alert them.

Slip-resistant and sturdy floors are required, with carpet piles no thicker than half an inch. They must be kept free of clutter and barriers at all times to ensure that people have a clear path through the space.

All furniture in seating areas should be positioned so that visually impaired people can pass through freely.

In the event of an accident or accessibility issue, you may face legal action or fines if you fail to comply with the ADA. Your property should be accessible to those with vision impairments and provide a comfortable, secure environment.

  • For many public spaces, we provide high-quality raised tactile and braille signage.

braille-signage- Braille signage that is both hygienic and adaptable

The innovative and long-lasting touch signs combine an ultra-resistant first surface polycarbonate or polyvinyl membrane with a multi-layer technology.For all users and facilities, including high-traffic areas, the braille signage delivers adaptable, sealed components. Because of their continuous surface, they are extremely hygienic and easy to clean.

Sign materials that are tactile and long-lasting

A layer of 0.38mm thick polycarbonate or polyvinyl covers the sign face. The colors and tactile aspects are permanently fused within the face’s layer.

After the sign’s face has been completed in terms of color and tactile features, it can be welded to any substrate to create a finished sign. The signs will not crack, peel, fade, or be harmed by acid, moisture, or excessive humidity because of their meticulous craftsmanship and attention to detail.

Signs manufactured to order

Clients can construct signage to their exact specifications using the basic accessible signage to complex braille and tactile wayfinding maps and directories are among the custom-made alternatives.

Mr. Bhavin Ghelani is an engineer and entrepreneur passed his engineering from Visvesvaraya Technological University (VTU). Since his adolescence, he has believed in society’s upbringing, and he has always desired to offer some value to society. He also has a religious side too. When in 2015, Our Prime Minister Mr. Narendra Modi started the Accessible India Campaign, also known as the Sugamya Bharat Abhiyan for all the disabled peoples in our country. He saw this initiative as a fantastic opportunity and after lots of deep research, he found the concept of Tactile Ground Surface Indicators which was being already practiced for Visually impaired peoples in countries like, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, United States of America, and many other developed countries. So at that point, the idea of the formation of ‘Eminent Tactiles’ under ‘Eminent Overseas’ came into his mind. Slowly & Steadily it has become India’s first and foremost manufacturer, supplier & exporter of Tactile Ground Surface Indicator products and under his vision, more range of products kept on developing so far.
