Does Your Business Have The Right ADA Signs?

Does Your Business Have The Right ADA Signs? ADA signs are part of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), established in 1990, and require all buildings and organizations to install ADA compliant signs to make spaces accessible to all visitors. ADA signs can effectively communicate messages and information to visually impaired individuals. As a business owner, it is your responsibility to ensure you have the required ADA indoor signs in your facility. Braille signs may be the first thing that comes to mind when thinking about ADA signs, but there is actually much more to ADA compliance than adding raised characters. If you require ADA compliant signs, take the time to review the elements below which need to be included during signage design.

1. Background and characters should be in contrasting colors so that they don’t merge into each other. 2. Signs should have a non-glare finish. 3. All letters must be uppercase and should range from 5/8 inch to 2 inches in height and be raised by 1/32 of an inch from the background to be a compliant braille sign. 4. Pictograms should be used to denote accessibility symbols and should be shown in standard style, not a stylized manner. Ready to start creating your custom signs?
