PRODUCTS

ADA SIGNAGE Signage that complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act characterized by tactical elements, Braille messaging, and high-contrast color combinations. ●

Appliqué: Tactile text and graphics are adhered to an acrylic sign backer and Raster beads are inserted to create Braille messaging.

●

Photopolymer: Combine tactile text and Braille messaging into a tamper-resistant one-piece sign for indoor applications.

●

Thermoform: Vandal-resistant signs are formed under heat and pressure to create a durable sign suitable for exterior applications.

●

Metal: Etched or machined signs are durable enough to handle demanding exterior environments.

●

Sustainable Materials: Increasing demand for green building materials is driving innovation in ADA signage. Recycled plastics, wood substrates and technologies such as our cured UV ink process (instead of VOC) all offer environmental advantages. The fact that we manufacture in the U.S. also eliminates the greenhouse gas emissions of overseas shipping.
