In the sign industry today, there are many options to aid in the success of your business. From organizational signage, and mobile marketing, to powerful advertising tools there is plenty to choose from. There are also signs that are integral to remain in compliance with local ordinances, and avoid heavy fines. Americans with Disabilities Act or ADA was passed in 1990, and protects the rights of individuals with special needs in the public. At Topaz SIGNWorks, we will partner with your company to produce ADA signage that is in accordance with code standards!
Below are some of the standards required with the Americans with Disabilities Act:
- Signage in all permanent rooms and space within facility
- Navigation signs and information signs throughout the establishment
- Safety signage must be raised, and feature Grade 2 Braille
- Stairwell signs must be placed by doors within stairwells, and should feature floor level, level of exit, and roof exit
- Some municipalities require illumination on ADA compliant signs
There is also information that does not require specific prerequisites for compliance with ADA.
- Company names
- Occupant Names
- Addresses
- Menus
- Seat and Row Identification
- Non-handicapped parking spaces
- Temporary signs that will be up for 7 days or less such as event, sale, and promotion signage
After you have your custom ADA package planned, our team will come in to make sure installation and location adhere to the requirements below:
- Distances between floor and overhead signage
- Placement requirements for signs relative to door position
- Contrasting color choices for easier legibility
- Non-glare with the exception of parking signs
- Font regulations
- Braille specifications
Our team offers premium products and superior service standards, and utilize only the finest materials to achieve this. With the help of our team, and the fresh designs we offer, your next ADA sign package will exceed expectations!
