What Are ADA Signs? The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is an act to prevent discrimination in the workforce and in public areas against people with disabilities. ADA signs are signs required by the law as part of this. The ADA Act demands buildings use signs to mark certain building features and that these signs have textured lettering in order to allow people with sight disabilities or other issues to be able to read the necessary information. Some common things ADA signs must indicate are exits, stairwells, elevators, and bathrooms. The Regulations Of ADA Signs The first benefit of hiring a custom sign company like Insignia Signs & Wraps is our understanding of the ADA sign requirements. You see, the regulations for these signs are very specific, detailing things like at what height the signs must be placed, how big the lettering must be, and what building features need these signs. We keep up with all these rules so we can guarantee you get ADA signs that are compliant with the laws. The Installation Of ADA Signs As mentioned, the location of ADA signs is regulated. They must be conveniently located in such a way as to be easy to read through both sight and tactile touch, whether they are on the inside or the outside of your building. We install all of the signs we make, so you can rest assured your signs are in the right places, which is the second benefit of hiring a company to do your ADA signs. Keeping Your Aesthetics While there are many requirements when it comes to ADA signs, we at Insignia Signs & Wraps know how important the aesthetics and theme of your building are. We have a design team capable of creating ADA signs that meet all of the necessary requirements without these signs looking out of place in your building. Although you could possibly do this yourself, you’d have to familiarize yourself with all the rules, which would take time you don’t need to spend if you use a sign company like us. Along with keeping your aesthetic, we also offer Spanish-only and/or Bilingual ADA signs, which your customers might need. Sign Repair  Though ADA signs are made to last, there are situations where they get damaged, especially if they are outdoors or in high-traffic areas where accidents of all sorts are prone to happen. Insignia Signs & Wraps offers consultations to determine if signs are repairable or if they need to be replaced. If they need to be repaired, we do this as well! Summary:  Making sure you meet ADA requirements is possible, but this can be stressful to do on your own. Read about these signs here and how Insignia Signs & Wraps can help you with these signs.
