The Braille system is a method that is widely used by people who are visually impaired to read and write, and was the first digital form of writing.[1]
Braille was devised in 1825 by Louis Braille, a blind Frenchman.[2] Each Braille character, or cell, is made up of six dot positions, arranged in a rectangle containing two columns of three dots each. In the early 1990’s ADA guidelines were passed into a Federal law that required a modernized Braille, Grade II type. Along with the Braille “dots”, guidelines included parameters for raised letters, contrast and spacing requirements.
Typically, the government passed legislation for technologyas ready to meet the requirements.
At first, engravers scrambled to do adhesive-backed letters applied to the face of signs along with adhesive-backed Braille strips. We call that process “Stick and Peel”.
Letters and Braille strips were glued on but easily removed. Engravers tried to route out the backgrounds along with Braille dots as a one-piece sign. This process was time-consuming and engravers offered little choice on colors. Etched metals appeared to be the only process acceptable for ADA use.
Today, with new enhancement of technology we can offer Custom signs /ADA signs with multiple of colors.
