ADA signage refers to signs that comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act, a federal law requiring accessible design in public spaces. These signs help people with visual impairments navigate buildings through tactile elements like raised text and braille. Any business open to the public is required to have compliant signage—it's not optional.
Permanent room identification signs (offices, restrooms, room numbers), exit signs, stairwell signs, and any sign identifying a permanent space. Temporary signs, company logos, and directional signs that don't identify specific rooms typically don't require ADA compliance, though accessible design is still recommended.
ADA signs must include: raised text (1/32" minimum), Grade 2 braille below the text, non-glare finish, high contrast between text and background, specific mounting height (48"-60" from floor to baseline), and placement on the latch side of doors. Font requirements specify sans-serif characters with specific proportions.
Non-compliance can result in lawsuits, with statutory damages ranging from $1,000 to $10,000 per violation in some states. Beyond legal risk, there's also the ethical consideration—accessible signage helps people with disabilities navigate your space independently. It's the right thing to do.
Yes. While the ADA has specific provisions for new construction vs. existing buildings, signage is generally considered "readily achievable" to update—meaning most businesses are expected to have compliant signage regardless of when the building was constructed. When you remodel or change tenants, signage updates are typically required.
Absolutely. ADA compliance sets minimum requirements, but there's significant design flexibility within those parameters. We can match your brand colors (while maintaining required contrast ratios), incorporate your logo on non-tactile portions, and create a cohesive look throughout your facility. Compliant doesn't mean boring.
ADA signs identify permanent rooms and spaces (restrooms, offices, exits) and must meet strict tactile requirements. Wayfinding signs provide directional guidance (arrows, directories, "you are here" maps) and don't require braille or raised text, though they should still be accessible in terms of height, contrast, and readability.
Individual ADA room signs typically range from $30-$150 depending on size, materials, and design complexity. A full building sign package varies widely based on the number of signs needed. We provide detailed quotes after assessing your specific requirements—no surprises.
Standard ADA sign orders typically take 2-3 weeks from approval to delivery. Rush orders are sometimes possible for an additional fee. Large projects with custom designs may require additional time for proofing and production. We'll give you a realistic timeline upfront.
Yes. Proper installation is critical for compliance—signs must be mounted at the correct height and location. We provide professional installation to ensure everything meets ADA requirements. We can also provide installation guides if you prefer to handle mounting yourself.
We can review your existing signage and identify any compliance gaps. This isn't a formal legal audit, but we can tell you what's likely non-compliant and provide recommendations for bringing your facility up to standard. It's a good first step if you're unsure of your current status.
