Are you searching for ADA signs?
There’s many types of signs that fall into the ADA sign category. A few examples of ADA signs are handicap wheelchair signs, handicap parking lot signs, wheelchair accessible signs and bathroom signs. These types of signs are designed to help people with disabilities in public spaces and help them to more easily get around.
All ADA signs must follow strict rules and regulations set in place by the Department of Justice. The Department of Justice introduced ADA signs as a requirement for public buildings in 1990. ADA stands for Americans with Disabilities Act and was signed into law by Pres. George H.W.Bush. Plus, if you do not follow the guidelines and regulations, the Department of Justice can come after you and your business could receive a fine up to and in excess of $50,000.
If you need help with ADA signs, or aren’t sure if your business is up to ADA code, we can come to your place of business and do an inspection of your premises. We can help you to avoid costly fines and make sure your business is ADA compliant, so you can just focus on running your business.
When it comes to the specific requirements that your ADA signs must meet, there are a lot of them. The size, type and location of fonts have to follow the guidelines and cannot be chosen at will. The Department of Justice only recognizes certain fonts as being clear enough to read. In addition, the location of braille on a braille sign, or a restroom sign like in the image above, must also be located directly below the writing to meet Department of Justice regulation standards. Often times these standards take away from the look of the sign, and some companies settle for the cheaper solutions, but we can design and fabricate custom ADA signs that are more high-end, yet still meet Department of Justice’s standards.
