From October 2004 the Disability Discrimination Act (1995) requires ALL
goods, services and facilities providers to make ‘reasonable adjustment'
to their premises to ensure that disabled people are treated equally
within our community.
Contour Signs Ltd Braille and tactile signage provides a means of
initial implementation of the National Disability Council's guidelines
on equality of access whilst meeting the "reasonable adjustment"
criteria as cited in the DDA. They are also recognised as meeting the
guidelines as set out in the JMU/RNIB ‘Sign Design Guide'.
All of our products can be tailor made to your requirements. All signs
are manufactured in-house at our site in Cheshire.
Contour Signs Ltd is listed on the approved manufacturer/supplier held

the Blind.
We would be delighted to answer any queries you may have. Please do give us
