For permanent fixtures in a building, there are regulations that must be met in order to be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Compliance doesn’t have to mean sacrificing the aesthetics of your space. In fact, many are surprised to learn that all ADA signage can be custom made while staying up to code. Our team understands the intricacies of the ADA, making our one-stop shop an easy choice for businesses of any size.

The following ideas are some we have found to be inspirational for our customers in helping come up with the look and feel they are trying to achieve in their signage solution.

Raised Lettering to Your Advantage

With the right contrast, the ADA-required raised lettering can cast a shadow that adds to its aesthetic appeal. Rather than sacrificing looks due to the requirements, you can use them to your advantage while staying compliant. For instance, using a dark black or navy against frosted vinyl paneling can give more contrast and intrigue for the shadows cast while keeping the focus on tactile reading for the visually impaired.

Logo or Other Image Usage

Due to the contrast rule, many customers are unaware of the customization options available. While it does take the right amount of contrast to ensure that the signage is compliant with laws and regulations, our team has the experience to craft a sign that utilizes the images and colors your brand works with while keeping the contrast and other specifications in mind. Rather than choosing form or function, we ensure both are represented in each of our designs.

Achieving Clean Lines

Braille II dots must be used in order to comply with the ADA laws and regulations. However, they don’t need to be a visual part of the signage. Instead, we use a clear option that renders them practically invisible but keeps them accessible for those who need them: the visually impaired. This keeps signs easy to use for those that need the help reading but keep the clean lines that companies want in their signage.
