Irish Braille
In 2014, the Irish National Braille and Alternative Format Association approved a new standard, Updated Irish Braille (UIB), designed largely to match Unified English Braille (UEB) for ease of use by bilingual braille readers.
Thanks to our own and original solutions, as one of the few , we use Updated Irish Braille in parallel with Unified English Braille grade 2 in our bilanguages products.

Safe and easy to fit
Our signs are safe for users. They do not have any unnecessary protruding elements such as screws or sharp edges. Double-sided adhesive tape makes the plates very easy to install. Placement of placards is very important for those whose sense of sight is impaired. Therefore, together with the signs, we provide accurate instructions on where to place the signs.
Our Mission
Many people cannot rely on their sight to locate and read wayfinding information – not only people who are registered blind or visually impaired but also people whose clarity of vision has gradually deteriorated with age, or people who have forgotten their glasses or who do not realise they needt hem. A person’s type of visual impairment, and their degree of visual acuity, determine how they will find their way. Signs for people with visual impairments Braille signs and embossed or tactile signs are often seen as the standard solution for providing wayfinding aids for visually impaired people and are used by people with no, or very little sight.
