What is an ADA Sign?
ADA sign complies with Americans with Disabilities Act Standards – includes tactile elements (Grade 2 Braille, raised characters) plus specific requirements for font, contrast, height, and pictograms.
For sign pros and architects, large projects must follow ADA rules for room IDs, exits, door signs, mounting. Orlanto's KC, NF, LP, CB modular series eliminate guesswork – fully compliant, with integrated Braille & tactile graphics, saving time and ensuring legal compliance.

ADA Compliance Challenges Solved
ADA signage projects involve several critical steps:
✓ Determining height & position: mounting at correct heights (typically 48‑60 inches to centerline).
✓ Selecting compliant signs: choosing substrates and fabrication methods that meet ADA standards.
✓ Specifying markings: determining which tactile elements, pictograms, and text are needed per location.
✓ Mapping the structure: identifying every location where compliance is required (rooms, restrooms, exits, entrances).

FAQ
- What are the basic requirements for an ADA compliant sign?ADA signs must include Grade 2 Braille, raised tactile characters (1/32" minimum), sans serif or simple serif font, character height between 5/8" and 2", high contrast between text and background (light/dark), non‑glare finish, and mounting height of 48‑60 inches to centerline. Pictograms must have a tactile description adjacent.
- Do all rooms require ADA signs?Generally, any permanent room or space (offices, restrooms, conference rooms, exam rooms, exits) requires an ADA sign if it is accessible to the public or employees. Exceptions include janitorial closets or mechanical rooms not normally accessed.
- What is the difference between Grade 1 and Grade 2 Braille?Grade 1 Braille is a letter‑for‑letter representation. Grade 2 Braille uses contractions and abbreviations to save space. ADA standards require Grade 2 Braille for most tactile signs.
- Can I add a logo or color to an ADA sign?Yes. The ADA does not restrict colors or logos, as long as contrast requirements are met. Orlanto Sign prints full‑color graphics on photopolymer substrates, with clear separation between tactile elements and decorative graphics.
- How do I update an ADA sign when a room name changes?With our modular system, you simply order a new insert panel with the updated text and Braille. The existing frame stays in place. Swap the insert in seconds – no need to remove the entire sign or re‑drill holes.
- Are Orlanto Sign ADA signs certified?Each sign is manufactured to meet or exceed 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design. We provide compliance documentation upon request. Many projects have passed municipal inspections with our signs.
- How long does it take to produce custom ADA signs?Standard lead time is 5‑7 business days for small to medium orders (up to 100 signs). Larger projects (500+ signs) may take 10‑12 days. Rush options are available.
