Female toilet — a braille and tactile sign at $135 in silver, carrying the female pictogram, raised characters and grade 1 uncontracted braille.
Sanitary facilities in a building required to be accessible need tactile and braille identification, and this is the standard plate for a female toilet. It is governed by AS 1428.1, which fixes the character height, the raised profile of the lettering, the braille translation, the luminance contrast between the characters and the background, and the height and position at which the sign is mounted.
Two things are worth knowing before ordering. A printed or engraved plate does not satisfy the requirement no matter how closely it resembles this one — the characters have to be genuinely raised and the braille genuinely readable by hand. And the sign belongs on the wall on the latch side of the door, not on the door leaf itself where it is specified as such, because a sign that swings away when the door opens cannot be found by touch.
Most buildings order this alongside the male, ambulant and accessible plates as a set, which also brings quantity pricing into play.
