ADA Signs available starting in 2015
ADA Braille Number Sign
The Americans with Disabilities Act requires new construction of public accessible facilities to comply with the new laws by March 12,2012. As an example, resorts, hotels, hospitals, entertainment venues and college campuses to name a few, are required to comply with the ADA laws.

Below we highlight some of the ADA Sign requirements,
but not to worry, we’ll take care of the technical details for you!
The new ADA sign specifications require the Braille to be dome shaped and raised above the surface .025 to .037″. The new tactile text specifications call for beveled edges and that the text also be raised above the surface. as can be seen in the image on the right above. Text size is dictated by the size of the sign. The background and text must contrast, the colors can’t be similar and the sign must be non glossy.
The law also specifies the placement and height for ADA signs for various uses and locations, which is too involved to get in to here.
Not all signs need to be ADA compliant, temporary signs, building addresses, directories and parking signs are exempt to name a few.
