Did you know that ADA signs are required for all public buildings?
If you are the owner of a business that the public visits, you are required to post ADA signs. ADA signs, which stands for Americans with Disabilities Act signs, are required by the law, and were put in place in order to assist handicapped people in public spaces. These are one of the most common types of signs and are seen just about everywhere, including movie theaters, hotels, restaurants, retail stores and grocery stores.
There are many different types of ADA signs. A few examples of ADA signs are: wheelchair accessible ramp signs, bathroom signs, elevator signs and disabled parking signs. All ADA signs must be clearly posted and must follow distinct rules and regulation put in place by the Department of Justice.
There are a lot of specific details that you must pay attention to when designing and fabricating an ADA sign. There are specific requirements and restrictions when it comes to everything including colors, the height of lettering, and the placement of braille on the sign. All of these specifications must be met, so if you have any questions about ADA signs, or you do not think that your ADA signs are up to code, just give us a call. We can come to your place of business in the Orange County area and take a look at your buildings and premises to get an idea of what it would take to get your business ADA compliant.
The Department of Justice says, if your business is not ADA compliant, it’s as if you are discriminating against handicapped and disabled people. If your business is not up to code, you could be fined by The Department of Justice up to and in excess of $50,000. We can help you avoid costly penalties and make sure your ADA signs are following all government rules.
Even though you have to follow strict guidelines for all your ADA signage, it doesn’t mean that they can’t look high-end. We can create custom ADA signs using more high-end materials, or we can fabricate large orders of inexpensive ADA signs for large buildings and public entities.
At Black Parrot Sign Studios, we’re a full service custom sign and graphic design business located in Tustin, California, and we serve all of Orange County.
