The term ADA signage refers to signs designed to make public facilities easier to navigate for people with disabilities. All of the sign choices we offer are fully in compliance with government regulations. ADA signs are important for a very simple reason: they are required by law. In fact, “ADA” stands for Americans with Disabilities Act, a law enacted in 1990 to prohibit discrimination against people with disabilities in all areas of public life, from transportation to jobs and education and everything in between. The ADA includes very precise regulations about how to design ADA-compliant signs. These regulations are called the ADA Standards for Accessible design. All the signs available on our website adhere to the following requirements, as well as all the rest of what the government requires:
• Raised characters. Must be at least 1/32 inch above their background, in uppercase, and duplicated in braille. The braille used on ADA-compliant signs must be of the type know as contracted (Grade 2). The braille dots must have a domed or rounded shape and comply with a list of dimensions included in the ADA standards.
• Installation height and location. Tactile signs must be at least 48 inches above the finish floor or ground surface measured from the baseline of the lowest tactile character and 60 inches maximum above the finish floor or ground surface measured from the baseline of the highest tactile character.
• Visual characters. A non-glare finish must be used. Characters must contrast with their background by using either light characters on a dark background or dark characters on a light background.
• Pictograms. Graphic symbols like the little person used on bathroom signs must have a field height of six inches and the characters and braille must be located outside the pictogram field. Pictograms must have a non-glare finish and must contrast with the background by using either a light pictogram on a dark field or a dark pictogram on a clear field. We offer 17 stock ADA signs as well as hardware like frames and screws for mounting, all at knockout prices! All our signs are offered in blue/white or black/white color options and they all meet ADA requirements and regulations.
