Airports must follow ADA regulations just like any other places with public access. Disabled persons need to feel welcome and confident of easy access to all areas in the terminal, whether it’s the lounge or bathroom. Whether on business or vacation, disabled persons must not be hindered through check-in and embarkation.
Disabilities vary. Some people suffer visual or hearing impairment. With others, it may be a reduction in mobility with walking aids and wheelchairs needed. Disabilities can also have a mental source. Severe anxiety or agoraphobia, for example, can ruin for many what should be the first exciting day of their vacation. Severe fear of flying might be regarded as a mental disability.
The American Disabilities Act, passed in 1990, offers regulations aimed at improving the lives of all disabled people. ADA signs form an integral part of fulfilling the obligations of the Act, assisting people visually, or with Braille.
We adhere to all the strict government guidelines for designing ADA signs. We are well versed with these and keep abreast of all updates. Our ADA signs are designed to convey a variety of messages and can be used in the whole range of locations. For example, we make bathroom signs, mobility access signs, wayfinding signs, and many others. These are all designed to improve the experience of disabled persons passing through an airport.
We make ADA signs in glass, Plexiglas, brushed metal, and acrylic plastic. You can keep your costs low by ordering in bulk all the signs you need to make your airport ADA compliant. Some signs can be illuminated too. We will install them with the least disruption to passengers and staff.
We have the machinery to design all the disability symbols and lettering at the precise heights dictated by ADA regulations. Sourcing your ADA signs from one supplier is not only good for your budget but ensures a consistent look. This makes your airport both more comforting and attractive.
Take the first steps to becoming ADA compliant, and boost your airport’s reputation by doing so. Call or email us, and we’d be happy to have one of our reps give you an overview of ADA sign requirements. We can visit your airport and from a careful survey produce a free quote for ADA signs in a choice of materials.
