Perfect for meeting legal requirements….
There are two main types of manifestation. The minimum requirement involves the application of a double row of geometric shapes, usually squares or circles of “etched effect” vinyl. These are often refereed to as glass manifestation dots.
Each row is applied at approximately 850mm and 1500mm from finished floor level to meet DDA (Disability Discrimination Act) standards. The lower row allowing for the sight line of shorter individuals and wheelchair users and the upper row for taller individuals. This basic requirement is usually adopted in “new builds” where the priority is often the passing of building standards for “handover”.
Compliance & Design Incorporated….
Basic Manifestations can also take the form of squares not limiting design but are both cost effective and stylish.
Ever walked into a patio door because you thought it was open, or seen someone collide with a full-height glass screen while gawping at their phone?
It may look like a scene from “You’ve been framed” and cause a degree of mirth for onlookers, not to mention complete embarrassment for the poor victim. However, in some cases, serious injury has been the outcome of such a mishap with the laughter emanating from a no-win no fee solicitor. As we all know, an accident isn’t just an accident these days and matters can escalate from being an unfortunate facial blemish to a full-blown personal injury claim.
