ADA Signs
Custom LED channel letters are one of the most effective ways to increase your business's visibility, strengthen your brand, and create a professional storefront. At Allmark Signs & Graphics, we design, permit, manufacture, and install front-lit, halo-lit, reverse-lit, raceway-mounted, and custom channel letter signs for retail stores, restaurants, office buildings, medical offices, shopping centers, and commercial properties throughout Rhode Island and Southeastern Massachusetts.
ADA signage can help a business or organization stay in compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act. The intent of these signs is to ensure individuals with disabilities feel welcome, included, and represented in a space. The inclusion of this special type of signage can also better protect businesses on a legal level.
From tactile signs to room identification signs, ADA-friendly signage comes in many different forms.

POPULAR ADA SIGN PRODUCTS
Braille
Braille signs are easy-to-use communication tools designed for the visually impaired. These unique signs can be used for elevators, room or office numbers, restrooms, or building directories. This is one of the most popular ADA-compliant sign options available.
Braille signs can assist people with navigating a building or finding the right room or facility. Other braille-labeled signs can offer different means of communication like cautionary warnings, rules, or instructions to improve safety or give directional support.
Tactile
For those with visual impairment who haven’t learned braille or those who have a communication barrier, tactile signs are another ADA-friendly signage option. These signs feature universal pictograms whose graphics are raised to allow the user to feel the image to “read” the sign when words or braille aren’t sufficient for communication.
Tactile signs can be used to help people with disabilities identify restrooms, recreation rooms, regular or emergency exits, or to even help locate a fire extinguisher. This can improve navigation, give individuals with visual impairments enhanced independence, and increase safety in the event of an emergency.
Wayfinding
Wayfinding signs help guide people to where they need to go such as an exit or the restroom. These signs might provide arrows, numbers, or text as a means of communicating where things are located.
ADA-compliant wayfinding signs are designed with specific elements to help effectively communicate to people with disabilities. They can also inform users of wheelchair accessible rooms, doors, or facilities.
Wayfinding signs can meet ADA compliance guidelines with the use of braille, extra-large text, raised picograms, or wheelchair accessibility symbols.
Room Identification
Finding a certain room can be a challenge for those with visual impairment. ADA room identification better ensures those with disabilities are able to locate the correct room they’re looking for without assistance.
ADA room identification signs may feature braille, high contrast colors, and/or tactile text to make it easier for visually impaired individuals to find a particular room. Universal picograms can also be used to help people with language disabilities or barriers find common use facilities like the restroom or pool area.
Informational Signs
ADA informational signs communicate essential information to those with disabilities through the use of picograms, symbols, and braille or tactile text. Common ADA informational signs include floor directories, emergency information, and room functions.
Informational signs with ADA compliance are beneficial in many ways. They can enhance accessibility, improve safety, and overall create a more positive user experience.
Creating accommodation for people with disabilities through the use of ADA signs is easy and affordable to carry out. Want to learn more about getting these signs installed? Call Allmark Signs today.
