do you comply with the new legislation? find out below...
vinyl must be opaque (i.e. solid not sandblast etch effect - people with impaired vision can't see etch vinyl)

chosen colour must contrast highly with background in all lighting conditions

logos must be minimum 150mm high by 150mm wide or larger

decorative feature such as broken lines or continuous bands must be at least 50mm in height to be fitted in two positions from the ground

position 1 = between 850-1000mm from the ground - preferably 900mm - the lower position is specifically to safeguard people in wheelchairs & young children

position2 = between 1400-1600mm from the ground - preferably 1500mm - this being the average eye level excellent opportunity to advertise the name of a company or type of service or name of building

doors forming part of a glazed screen must have a 25mm wide strip across the top, bottom and sides in contrasting colour to clearly differentiate the door from the rest of the glazed screen the presence of the door should be apparent not only when it is shut but when it is open - where it is open, steps should be taken to avoid people being harmed by walking into the edge of the door, we fit a clever door edging strip of broken lines to make the edge noticeable to all.
