What are Custom ADA Signs?

It is important to follow certain mandatory guidelines while creating ADA signage for businesses so that they comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act. This is a wide-ranging law that includes:

Wayfinding Signage

Wayfinding and wayfinding signage including monuments, wall mounted directional and much more. Wayfinding is part signage, part map design, uses pictures, shapes, symbols, fonts and symbols to communicate to travelers how to navigate a building or campus. wayfinding signage allows the building and area to be used effectively.

The intensity of the required Wayfinding increases for certain locations. Perhaps one of the most intense is the airport environment. The function of the complex is wayfinding, starting with the roads and parking area, where different parking lots have different functions, within the parking lots where employees, handicap, emergency, and for hire vehicles all have different places. After leaving the parking, wayfinding signage must lead visitors to pick up arrivals or help departing passengers. Departing passengers have baggage options, reservations, automated check in and then security checks. Each gate has a corridor or wing, within these there are places to eat, drink, check in, and board. And of course, the restrooms, changing rooms and shopping. While an airport is an extreme example, business buildings, shopping centers and multifamily housing has hundreds of wayfinding needs

What is Vision Impaired

Those individuals who the ADA law targets are also vision impaired. While Braille readers are often without sight and ADA Compliant Grade 2 Braille Signs provides a way to read, many are not Braille readers and use universal tactile symbols and pictograms in tactile letters to understand. These are raised at least 1/32” for touching and feeling the shapes. Still more the same technique is used for the letters, that can be felt and understood. Vision impairments, and those with unimpaired vision have color and contrast abilities. They see contrasting colors more easily and we provide the contrast required. To summarize we use tactile (raised) lettering, Grade 2 Braille, approved international pictograms and symbols. The Tactile requirement sin 1/32″ high. The font requirement is a sans serif, uppercase font. There are additional measurements for contrast and anti-glare. These all create a more readable sign for the Blind and the vision impaired and…everybody else too.
