ADA Compliant Commercial Door Signage
Ensure your facility is accessible and fully compliant with building codes using our professional ADA door signage. We specialize in permanent room identification, including Grade 2 Braille and tactile lettering designed for the visually impaired. From restroom sets to fire exit markers, our signs feature the high-contrast finishes and non-glare surfaces required to pass modern accessibility audits.
Understanding ADA Signage & Braille Requirements
To be fully compliant with the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design, any sign identifying a permanent room or space must follow strict design rules:
- Tactile & Braille: Signs must feature characters raised at least 1/32 inch and include Grade 2 Braille directly below the text.
- Font & Case: Tactile text must be in all uppercase using a simple sans-serif font (like Helvetica or Arial). Decorative or italicized scripts are not permitted.
- Visual Contrast: Characters must contrast sharply with their background (e.g., white text on a dark blue background) and must have a non-glare matte finish to assist those with low vision.
Proper Mounting & Placement
A common point of failure in inspections is incorrect placement. ADA signs must be mounted on the latch side of the door (the side with the handle). If there is no wall space, the sign must be placed on the nearest adjacent wall. The mounting height should be between 48 and 60 inches from the finished floor to the baseline of the characters, ensuring they are reachable for tactile reading.
