ADA & Tactile Braille Signage
ADA-compliant signage plays a critical role in making buildings usable, navigable, and inclusive for people with visual impairments. These signs are not decorative elements. They are required features in commercial, educational, healthcare, and public facilities, designed to provide consistent information that can be read by touch as well as sight.
ADA tactile and Braille signs must meet federal accessibility standards while remaining durable, legible, and visually appropriate for the space. From individual room identification signs to complete building-wide signage systems, properly designed ADA signage supports accessibility without compromising design or finish quality.
