Compliant, On-Brand ADA Signs for Gwinnett County Businesses

The Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 requires commercial facilities to provide signage that gives every visitor equal access, regardless of physical limitations. That means braille and tactile signs on restrooms, tactile signs at stairwells and exits, and directional markers throughout your facility. For Duluth and Suwanee businesses, non-compliance can carry real consequences, including government fines and public perception concerns.

FASTSIGNS is locally owned and operated, and we handle ADA signs from design through installation. Graphic design, project management, content development, and installation all happen under one roof, so you’re not coordinating between a printer, a designer, and a separate installer.

Have questions about your facility’s compliance requirements? Call us at (800) 327-8744 or request a free consultation online, and we can walk you through what you need.

ADA Signs We Produce for Duluth & Suwanee Facilities

Our ADA compliant signs combine regulatory precision with your brand identity. Restroom signs with gender symbol pictograms, braille directional markers, room identification signs, and safety signage at fire exits can all be designed to complement your interior rather than clash with it. Some regulatory signs have very specific requirements; others leave room for your business’s personality to show through. We work within both constraints.

Every sign we produce is designed to meet ADA standards and accessibility requirements. Signs are built to be easy to read, durable, and highly visible, whether they’re guiding a visitor through your office or marking a stairwell exit. Pictograms, which use universally recognized illustrations to communicate without relying on language alone, are incorporated wherever standards call for them.

One Team for Design, Compliance, & Installation

A print-only vendor can put ink on a substrate. What they can’t always do is confirm your sign program meets current standards before anything gets produced. Our team reviews compliance requirements before production begins, especially for bulk orders where a single spec error multiplies across an entire facility. We use the latest sign-making systems and full-color printing to produce signs tailored to your space.

ADA Sign Types for Commercial Facilities in Duluth

ADA compliant signs fall into several functional categories. Each serves a distinct purpose, and most commercial facilities in Duluth and Suwanee will need signs from more than one category to meet requirements.

Identification Signage

Identification signs mark permanent spaces within a facility: restrooms, storage areas, conference rooms, and room numbers. These are among the most commonly required ADA signs and must include tactile characters and braille so visitors with visual impairments can read them by touch.

Directional Signage

Directional signs guide people through offices, retail spaces, and public buildings. Properly placed directional ADA signage can allow people with disabilities to navigate a facility independently, without needing to ask for assistance.

Informational Signage

Informational signs communicate rules, restrictions, and instructions that aren’t self-evident from the environment alone. Parking payment instructions, restricted access notices, and operating hours all fall into this category.

Safety & Regulatory Signage

Safety signs cover fire exits, emergency exits, and hazard warnings. These are required in nearly every commercial facility and must conform to both ADA standards and local fire and safety codes.

Overhead Signage

In larger spaces like warehouses, lobbies, or open floor plans, overhead ADA signage can support visibility from a distance where wall-mounted signs would be difficult to see.

ADA Compliance Requirements for Signs

ADA signage standards are specific and technical. Here’s what the guidelines require for signs used in commercial facilities:

Color contrast: Signs must exhibit a contrast between background and text colors so the text is clearly distinguishable
Font type: ADA compliant signs must use a sans serif font with no added decorative features
Tactile characters: Signs identifying permanent rooms and spaces must include both braille and raised tactile characters
Character height: Tactile lettering must be uppercase and between 5/8 inch and 2 inches in height
Braille placement: Braille lettering must be placed below the corresponding text, with a minimum 3/8 inch space between the braille and any raised borders or decorative elements
Character clearance: Raised characters and braille must have a minimum 3/8 inch space from raised borders and decorative elements
Pictogram requirement: If a sign contains a pictogram identifying a permanent space, tactile text descriptors in raised and braille characters are also required below a pictogram field of at least 6 inches in height
Mounting height: For tactile signs, the baseline of the lowest raised character must be at least 48 inches above the finished floor; the baseline of the highest raised character must be no more than 60 inches above the finished floor
Mounting location: Interior ADA signs should be installed on the latch side of the door for the room being labeled; signs are also permitted on the push side of doors with closers that don’t have hold-open devices
Limited space: If wall space on the latch side is insufficient, the sign may be installed on the nearest adjacent wall in a clearly visible location
