ADA Signs Keep Your Customers Safe

The ADA stands for Americans with Disabilities Act, which is a landmark piece of legislation designed specifically for making businesses accessible for people with disabilities. The act covers a variety of permanent signage on a business property that has to be in line with ADA guidelines. Since these signs have a specific purpose, you need experts in the field for design and fabrication. These signs make it simple to find your way around a property and increase accessibility for all visitors.

Where You Need ADA Compliant Signs

The primary purpose of ADA signs is to help people easily navigate through a property and you can use them in various locations such as:

  • Entrances and Exits – Each of the entry and exit points on a business’ premises need to be marked clearly
  • Permanent Rooms and Offices – All permanent rooms, including offices, closets, and mechanical spaces must be marked with room identification 
  • Elevators – Elevators need to be clearly marked with ADA-compliant signage
  • Facilities – Signs should direct people towards facilities, such as restrooms

Why You Should Choose an ADA Sign Expert

Making sure that your business is ADA compliant is more than just a good idea; it’s required by law. The signs mentioned above are only a few examples of ADA-compliant signage that need to be put up in public spaces in your business. It’s advisable to work with a signage specialist who can help ensure that every room is covered because there are specific standards when it comes to the design and production of the signs.

  • Entrances and Exits – All the entry and exit points on a business’ premises need to be marked very clearly

ADA Signs Can Enhance Your BRAND!

In the world of ADA Signs, there are two generally approved techniques – photopolymer and layered acrylic with raster beads. Each manufacturing method has benefits and preferred application uses. That is where your sign consultant comes in.

Acrylic Layering

This sign type is best for protected settings such as hospitals, high-end offices with specialty finishes, and clinics. Acrylic signs with raised text applied to a sign face and the raster fit method of braille provide a cost effective sign solution. There are many laminate choices and painting options that will effectively bring sites into ADA compliance. The challenge is presented by patrons. The laminates can be picked at, letters rearranged, or the raster beads (used for braille) can be removed with some effort. Additionally, if you are in the budgeting process, the names of your rooms may impact price. If exact room names haven’t been determined, there may be a price change when final design packages are approved. The more acrylic required for the lettering, the higher the cost.

Photopolymer

This is the best sign type for high traffic unprotected environments, schools, public buildings where there may be a degree of vandalism. While there are fewer first surface laminate options, there are thousands of paint options, digital print backgrounds, and first/second layer applications to make these signs special and unique. The initial price of purchase can be a little more, but the longevity of the sign usually offsets it.

Branding

So what does material selection have to do with branding? The reality is most ADA signs can be done using either method. The DESIGN is what sets you apart. These little signs are required – you can’t get around them. However, you can make the most of them by throwing your logo in the corner, adding a second-surface digital print to color code floors or add a splash of color to the background, and even better you can add layers to turn your sign into viewing pleasure. The only limits to customizing your ADA sign package are design and budget.
