Are You Looking for Customized ADA Signs for Your Business?
Contact Michigan Custom Signs to make your business more accessible to everyone.
Different kinds of signs are used by various businesses. They provide a trustworthy image for your business and help your customers, employees, and passersby navigate your premises. The signs in your establishment serve the purpose of keeping visitors informed and make sure they’re heading in the right direction. Normal business signs can keep your customers informed, but how do visually impaired persons navigate your business or site without any guidance? From having navigation guidance to the nearest bathroom to finding the emergency exit easily, persons with physical, auditory, visual, or other disabilities should be able to find their way through your space without any difficulties.
The ADA (American with Disabilities Act) was passed to ensure that everyone and anyone could easily navigate through public or commercial spaces, regardless of their disability, with efficiency and safety. ADA signs are a legal requirement as well as a very good practice to make your establishment accessible and inclusive for all.
Michigan Custom Signs recognize the importance of ADA signs. This is why we do not just create high-quality ADA signs to help navigation; we customize your signs to represent your message according to your brand.
Types of ADA Signs Used in Buildings
ADA compliant signs must be posted in all types of permanent, public, and private-access buildings and sites. Whether you are a warehouse owner with several employees or a retail store that facilitates hundreds of customers, general ADA guidelines must be followed for interior and exterior signage, along with signs for rooms with a function that is not likely to change anytime soon. Identification of a room requires you to set up a sign, and if you are accommodating visitors there, then the signage must be ADA compliant to be accessible for all. There are four common types of ADA signage used in establishments.
Signs used to identify a zone, area, or room with a specific purpose are called identification signs. Identification signs are mostly posted in public areas or rooms. These signs are what is used most commonly in public spaces. Some identification signs are ‘Restroom’, ‘Wheelchair Ramps’, ‘Finance Department’, etc.
Informational signs are ADA signage used to provide context or information regarding a specific zone, area, or room. Informational signs can help the normal public navigate much more easily by furthering their knowledge about what to expect from a room or zone. Informational signs don't need to tell the type of the room itself. Some examples of informational signage are: ‘Employees Only’, ‘Authorized Personnel Only’, etc.
Directional signs can help direct foot traffic and help your visitors find their way into the building. Some common directional signs include wayfinding signs such as arrows or pictures. Some common examples are: ‘Emergency Exit’, ‘Waiting Room This Way’, etc.
