Braille should be used if possible wherever embossed characters are used.The Braille used should be English Standard Braille (see What is Braille?)

Braille signs are, by their very nature, always read close up and should be positioned where they can easily be touched. The ideal range of heights for positioning of Braille signs would be between 1600mm and 1300mm above finished floor level.

The inclusion of Braille will not affect the aesthetic value of the sign.
