Planning Accessible & Regulatory Signage in Charlotte

An accessible signage project typically begins by identifying the facility’s rooms, routes, parking areas, and communication needs. Because placement depends on each sign’s purpose and location, planning may include reviewing intended locations before design and production begin.

We offer survey and permitting services to help businesses navigate local codes and signage requirements. These services can be tailored to the sign types, placements, and needs of the project rather than treated as part of a fixed sequence.

Our graphic design and content development services support the visual and written elements of the sign system. We can use sign schedules, available facility plans, and identified locations to organize the project around the property’s needs.

Project Management & Installation

We provide project management and sign installation for regulatory, safety, and accessible signage. Our capabilities also include shipping and storage when the project requires them. This coordinated approach gives facility teams one point of contact for multiple signs, locations, and services.

Request a Quote for Your Signage Project

A quote discussion can clarify which signs are needed, where they’ll go, and what supporting services the project requires. When contacting us, share the facility type, each sign’s purpose, installation needs, and any available plans or sign schedules. We don’t publish a standard turnaround time or price because scope and service needs vary by project.

You can reach us by phone or through our contact form to discuss regulatory signs, safety signs, or ADA-compliant signage in Charlotte.

ADA Requirements for Permanent Room Signs

The 2010 ADA Standards require signs identifying permanent indoor and outdoor rooms and spaces to meet tactile and raised-character requirements. Raised letters or symbols can be read by touch. Restrooms, exits, stairwells, elevators, parking areas, and other permanent spaces should be reviewed according to each sign’s function and the standards that apply to its location.

Categories excepted from these tactile requirements include:

Building directories
Menus
Seat and row designations
Occupant names
Building addresses
Company names and logos
Certain parking facility signs
Temporary signs posted for seven days or less

These exceptions don’t eliminate every other requirement. Each sign’s purpose, content, and placement still determine which provisions apply.

Raised Characters, Braille & Mounting Height

Under the 2010 ADA Standards, raised characters must be duplicated in Braille. When both visual and touch-readable information are required, they can appear on one combined sign or two separate signs.

Mounting height is measured from the character baselines. The baseline of the lowest tactile character must be at least 48 inches above the finished floor, while the highest can’t be more than 60 inches above it.

Tactile signs also require a clear floor space measuring at least 18 by 18 inches. It must be centered on the raised content and located outside the door’s swing arc. These measurements make placement an important part of planning, especially where doors, nearby walls, or circulation paths limit the available space.

Parking Identification & Accessibility Symbol Contrast

Parking space identification signs must include the International Symbol of Accessibility, the familiar wheelchair symbol used to identify accessible facilities and features. Signs for van-accessible spaces must also display the text “van accessible.”

These signs must be mounted at least 60 inches above the finished floor or ground surface, measured to the bottom of the sign. This differs from the baseline measurements used for permanent room signs.

Accessibility symbols and their backgrounds must have a non-glare finish. They must also provide visual contrast through either a light symbol on a dark background or a dark symbol on a light background. Material, finish, color, and placement should therefore be considered together when developing parking signs and other identification graphics.
