Imagine you walk into an establishment, you need to use the restroom and cannot find the signage to lead the way, or worse – you see the signs, but they are in a place you cannot make them out properly. This would be an awful experience and probably not lead you wanting to go back to that location if you had a choice.
In 1190, the Americans with Disabilities Act was passed to protect the rights of individuals who have limitations or disabilities that can make it harder for them to recognize
ordinary signs. For example people that are bound to a wheelchair need signs at a lower height, and the blind need braille. The Act gives specific guidelines on how how and what types of signs need to be installed in establishments that accommodate to the public.
Although having these signs are mandatory by law and not having them can cause you to be fined up to 150,000, your customer will appreciate the details that they need. Our team can help you with the right sign for your establishment, as well as the correct specifications needed to meet the ADA sign requirements.
