The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) gives civil rights protections to individuals with disabilities. It guarantees equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in public accommodations, employment, transportation, State and local government services, telecommunications, and requires ADA Signs.
Standard Braille signs or ADA signs make it easy for everyone to comply with ADA Laws (Americans with Disabilities Act). All ADA sign pictograms, borders, lettering and Braille are raised 1/32". Font used is always uppercase and a sans serif or simple serif type. The characters and background of these ADA signs shall be eggshell, matte or other non-glare finish. Characters and symbols shall contrast with their background – either light char on a dark background or dark char on a light background.
If your facility has a snack area, a gift shop, waiting rooms, a fitness center, mail rooms or even a room for coats, The ADA law specifies that you must install a tactile Braille sign or ADA sign..
