ADA Signs
ADA signs must be designed and built to meet the standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). We know you not only want to comply with Federal law, but also to make your office and business fully accessible to disabled customers, clients and visitors. It’s an integral part of our business to create signs to meet your needs.

The ADA Tactile and Braille Signage Code is a wide-ranging civil rights law. Complying with the rules can be confusing at best, and confounding at worst. The rules and implications have been updated and changed periodically since the first legislation was signed in 1990.
It makes perfect sense to use us
There are specific, different rules governing ADA signs for
- Medical care; there are separate guidelines for outpatient and inpatient facilities
- Toilet facilities
- Outdoor building signage
- Indoor building signage
- Parking spaces
- Accessible entrances
- Even loading zones
We have experience creating all kinds of signs, many of which must conform to ADA guidelines. Tap into our knowledge, and you’ll get signs that comply and work for your firm. We recognize that for architects and builders, signs can be an afterthought. We’ve given a lot of thought so you don’t have to.
Why to acquire ADA signs from our professional firm
Here’s an example of the government rules for signage.
“4.30.1 Character proportion letters and numbers on signs shall have a width to height ratio of between 3:5 and 1:1 and a stroke-width to height ratio between 1:5 and 1:10.…The minimum height is measured using an upper case X.”
Whew! It can be so all-consuming that the Long Beach California School District has a position for a sign maker because virtually every sign must meet ADA standards. You have a dedicated sign maker, too. It’s us!
What we take care of
- Creating ADA signs with the proper illumination level, bright colors, and unique patterns for the visually impaired.
- Tactile signage for those with poor eyesight.
- Raised Braille signage with the specific spacing, dot size, and separation between cells required.
- Making certain the contrast is at 70 percent between background and characters.
- Using the required color for background
- Creating signage visible at an angle of 30 degrees to be seen from either side of the face of a person unable to move their head
Compliance can be beautiful
When the law was first put into effect, ADA signs didn’t look very good. Now that we have a greater understanding of the rules and purposes, we can create aesthetically pleasing signs. Technology and innovative materials have opened up many new tasteful options.
Details
We bring a detail-oriented approach to designing and building signage. If you are an architect, developer, builder, contractor or maintenance supervisor, we will work with you to determine your exact needs and deliver the solutions you require.

Being a leader can be good for business
We understand that the Department of Justice enforces minimum guidelines. You can go beyond the minimum guidelines to truly service the impaired population who will reward the fact you’ve made your business highly accessible. When the first President Bush made it law, he said, “With today's signing of the landmark Americans with Disabilities Act, every man, woman, and child with a disability can now pass through once-closed doors into a bright new era of equality, independence, and freedom.”
