Bespoke and specialist

Bespoke items and Tactile Signage

Wood, metal, plastic, fibreglass, resin: whatever the material our highly-skilled craftsmen are adept at producing one-off or multiple bespoke products. From prototypes and models through to merchandisers and ornate cabinets; we have even fabricated hundreds of metres of special handrail for the National Centre for Deafblindness where we also created their permanent Deafblind Awareness exhibition.
While working on this project we completed extensive research into the communication needs of those with sight and hearing loss and created a unique signage system which can be adapted for use in any building. We now manufacture tactile/audio signage and wayfinding systems for general and specialised environments to enable disabled people to have equal access to guidance and information.

Investing in superior skills and machinery

Our recent investment in a range of state-of-the-art machinery means we can now offer a FULL in-house bespoke joinery service to our clients. Our new facilities mean we can manufacture practically anything here in the factory: from window frames, staircases and handrail guidance systems, through to intricate mouldings and cabinets which are of special interest to clients involved in the development of historic and heritage buildings.

National Centre for Deafblindness The reception area of the National centre for Deafblindess is the focal point of the interior of the building. It features a range of unique exhibition displays, built by Hytner Exhibitions, designed to communicate the many facets of deafblindness and the work of Deafblind UK. The displays have been designed to contain as much tactile information and models as possible to enable deafblind people and those with other disabilities to enjoy the experience equally.

Communication for all It is intended that, from 2004, service providers will also have to make reasonable adjustments "to the physical features of their premises to overcome physical barriers to access". Excerpt from Disability Discrimination Act 1995, Code of Practice. After extensive research and experience working with deafblind people at the National Centre for Deafblindness we now design and manufacture tactile signage and wayfinding systems for institutional and commercial buildings throughout the UK.
