Custom Code & ADA Compliant Signs
Proper signage for those who suffer from limited vision or hearing has never been in higher demand. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires strict code-compliant guidelines for signage that accommodate those who require visual or tactile assistance. Our skillful team at Portland Sign Company achieves every single one of these guidelines to provide quality custom ADA-compliant signs. If you’re currently seeking custom signage that makes public spaces accessible to everyone, contact our designers today to get your project started.
What are Code & ADA Compliant Signs?
We make navigating your business a breeze! Our custom ADA-compliant signs provide clear, easy-to-read communication for employees and guests. Featuring tactile lettering, braille, and specific mounting levels, our signs are designed for accessibility to ensure everyone can find their way with ease. Our large range of options includes stairs, exits, restrooms, emergencies, elevators, parking, and much more for the utmost convenience. Your signage shows everything about your commitment to inclusivity and safety in your community!
Requirements of Code & ADA Compliant Signs
Our well-versed team successfully customizes signs compliant with ADA regulations while complementing your branding. While we’re designing your signage, we ensure we’re following the ADA guidelines, including:
- Finish & Contrast: Any characters and backgrounds, besides braille, need to be significantly contrasting for people with low vision, both in the dark and daylight.
- Typestyles & Character Height: Conventional fonts, appropriate line spacing, non-glare finishes, and character height increase readability for anyone with low vision.
- Tactile Characters & Braille: Ensuring that the location and uniformity of tactile signs, such as braille, is crucial for those without vision to locate.
- Pictograms: Pictograms are symbols that identify objects or convey messages, such as signaling wheelchair-accessible bathrooms or no smoking areas, to help communicate across languages.
- Positioning of Signage: We perfectly position our signs in non-obstructive areas to avoid risks of injury with compliant heights and angles.
- Mounting Height: Depending on your custom sign, there are strict guidelines for the installation height and location for convenient reading.
Benefits of Code & ADA Compliant Signs
Navigating public spaces can be tricky, but well-placed signs make a huge difference in accessibility for everyone, especially those with disabilities. ADA-compliant signage not only shares vital information with features like high-contrast fonts and braille but also allows individuals to move around independently. Common benefits of ADA-compliant signs include inclusivity, enhanced safety, and enhanced accessibility to promote your brand’s values.
