Why ADA Signs Are Essential
ADA-compliant signs are critical for businesses, schools, healthcare facilities, government buildings, and any public space. These signs help individuals with disabilities, especially those with visual impairments, safely and independently navigate your building.
Features of ADA signage include:
- Braille and tactile lettering
- High-contrast, easy-to-read text and symbols
- Standardized font usage and sizing
- Specific mounting height and placement requirements
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, over 13 percent of Americans live with a disability. ADA signage ensures your space is accessible for everyone, promoting inclusivity and reducing potential legal risks.
Failure to comply with ADA regulations can result in fines, failed inspections, and delayed occupancy certificates. That’s why so many businesses trust Carolina Custom Signs & Graphics, we stay ahead of the requirements so you don’t have to worry.
ADA Sign Solutions We Offer
We offer a wide range of signage solutions to help you stay compliant, organized, and professional. Our ADA sign options include:
Braille and Tactile Signs
We produce signs with Grade 2 Braille and tactile lettering to make it easier for people with visual impairments to understand key information by touch.
Wayfinding and Directional Signs
Help visitors and customers confidently navigate your facility with ADA-compliant wayfinding signs. These are essential in larger buildings, office parks, and medical campuses.

Clearly identify room names and numbers with signage that meets ADA requirements for character height, font type, contrast, and tactile features.
Emergency and Exit Signs
We fabricate and install compliant signage for stairwells, exits, and emergency instructions that ensure safe navigation during high-stress situations.
Custom Designs That Match Your Brand
ADA signage doesn’t have to look generic. We offer a variety of design options that align with your branding while still meeting all regulatory standards.
Visually Accessible Signage
For the millions of Americans living with visual impairments, having clearly legible signage is more than a convenience, it’s a necessity. Our signage uses high-contrast colors, matte finishes to reduce glare, and clear, sans-serif fonts that meet ADA visibility requirements.
We also help you choose colors and materials that maintain your brand identity, ensuring consistency throughout your space. Our goal is to provide signage that improves the experience of every guest who visits your business.
Avoid ADA Compliance Issues
ADA regulations are detailed and specific. They govern not just the inclusion of braille and tactile elements, but also font styles, character sizes, contrast ratios, sign placement, and mounting heights. In some jurisdictions, noncompliance can lead to civil penalties and expensive corrections.
A few key ADA signage requirements include:
- Mounting signs between 48 and 60 inches from the floor
- Using sans-serif fonts with a character height of at least 5/8 inch
- Ensuring sufficient contrast between text and background
Avoiding reflective surfaces that create glare
Many businesses unknowingly violate these rules with mass-produced or DIY signage. At Carolina Custom Signs & Graphics, we take the guesswork out of ADA compliance by guiding you through the entire process, from design to installation.
