Sacramento, CA – Complaint Custom ADA Signs for Retail and Small Businesses

Everyone from large corporations to small businesses must follow the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA is a civil rights law prohibiting discrimination against individuals with disabilities in all areas of public life, including jobs, schools, public transportation, and all places open to the general public.

While the ADA may seem daunting at first, there are many resources available to help you navigate the law and make your business compliant. In addition, making your business accessible to all customers improves your bottom line. When you provide a welcoming and inclusive environment, people with disabilities are more likely to patronize your business.

One of the most important things you can do to make your business compliant is to install custom ADA signs. These signs help people with disabilities navigate your space and find the products and services they need.

ADA Sign Requirements

All ADA signs must meet certain requirements to be compliant.

• Text on the sign must be large enough to be read from a distance, and the font must be clear and easy to read.
• The sign must be mounted at the proper height and in the proper location, so it is reached by people with disabilities.
• A non-glare finish must be added to the sign, so it is easily seen by people with vision impairments.
• The sign must be made from durable materials that will not fade or break over time.
• There needs to be a high contrast between the background and the text or graphics.
• Braille text is required on specific types of signs.

Common Types of ADA Signs

There are many different types of ADA signs, and each has a specific purpose. Here are some of the most common ADA signs:

• Restroom signs must be highly visible and clearly mark the location of each restroom.
• Exit signs must be visible from all directions and clearly mark the location of all exits.
• Directional signs help people with disabilities navigate your space. The signs must clearly identify the location of all important areas, such as exits, restrooms, and elevators.
• Parking signs help people with disabilities find accessible parking spaces. The signs must be highly visible and identify the location of handicapped accessible parking spaces.
• Information signs provide important information about your business, such as hours of operation and contact information.

When you install these signs, you send a message showing you are committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for all customers.
