ADA Compliant Signs

Almost all public buildings need adequate ADA compliant signage for both interior and exterior areas. From the parking lot to every room inside, proper signage is not just good practice — it is the law. We help building owners and property managers across Cleveland and Cuyahoga County, Ohio ensure their facilities meet all current ADA requirements.

Types of ADA Signage

We produce a full range of ADA compliant signs to cover every area of your building and property:

• Braille signs — raised Braille characters for visually impaired visitors
• Tactile signs — raised text and pictograms that can be read by touch
• Handicap parking signs — compliant parking lot signage with required symbols and text
• Restroom signs — ADA-compliant identification with proper pictograms and Braille
• Exit signs — illuminated and non-illuminated exit identification
• Room identification — tactile room numbers and names for offices, conference rooms, and more
• Safety and fire exit signs — emergency egress and fire safety signage

ADA Requirements

ADA signage must meet specific requirements established by federal law. Key standards include:

• Character height — minimum and maximum sizes based on viewing distance
• Contrast — high contrast between text and background for readability
• Finish — non-glare surfaces to prevent visual interference
• Mounting height — signs must be mounted at specific heights on the latch side of doors
• Braille placement — Grade 2 Braille positioned below corresponding text

Regulatory and Safety Signage

Beyond standard ADA signs, we also produce regulatory signage that informs visitors and occupants of codes, ordinances, and regulations. This includes fire exit signs, emergency evacuation maps, no-smoking signs, and other safety-related signage required for your building type. Our team provides professional guidance on exactly what is required for your specific facility — whether it is an office building, medical practice, retail space, restaurant, or government building.

Why Compliance Matters

Proper ADA signage is important for two reasons: avoiding fines and ensuring accessibility for all visitors. Non-compliant buildings face potential penalties and lawsuits, but more importantly, good signage ensures that every person — regardless of ability — can navigate your facility safely and independently. We ensure all signs meet current ADA standards so you can be confident your building is both welcoming and compliant.
