ADA Signs in Snellville

In-House ADA & Braille Signs for Clearer Facility Navigation

We produce ADA signs that help people identify permanent rooms, find important destinations, and navigate commercial facilities. Using our Mutoh ADA/Braille Printer, we can create signs in house for offices, restrooms, exits, stairwells, elevators, and other spaces.

Accessible signage may be needed for a new building, renovation, relocation, expansion, or replacement project. Because identification, directional, informational, and regulatory signs can have different requirements, we plan around the purpose of each sign rather than treating every application the same.

ADA Sign Types for Snellville Facilities

ADA signage supports both accessible identification and facility navigation. Tactile signs identify permanent rooms or spaces using raised characters and Grade 2 Braille, a contracted form of Braille that shortens certain words and letter combinations. Visual wayfinding signs communicate routes, destinations, and other information without necessarily requiring the same tactile treatment.

A facility sign plan may include:

Room identification signs: Signs for offices, conference rooms, storage areas, and other permanent spaces.
Restroom signs: Tactile and visual identification with applicable text, Braille, and pictograms.
Stair and exit signs: Identification for stairwells, exit routes, and related destinations.
Elevator and floor signs: Designations that communicate floor levels and elevator information.
Directional signs: Visual signs that guide visitors to rooms, departments, accessible routes, and building amenities.
Accessible parking signs: Regulatory signs that identify designated accessible parking spaces.

The appropriate treatment depends on what a sign communicates and where it’s used. Before production, we can discuss room names, destination information, symbols, finishes, and broader wayfinding needs.

In-House ADA & Braille Sign Production

At FASTSIGNS® of Snellville, GA, we use a Mutoh ADA/Braille Printer to produce accessible signs in house. This capability complements our broader visual communication services, including graphic design, content development, project management, custom signs, and wayfinding solutions.

Multi-sign projects require consistent terminology and design details. We work with clients to organize content and coordinate visual elements across corporate offices, hospitals, schools, retail environments, and other commercial properties.

Useful details to gather before production include:

A list of permanent rooms, spaces, floors, and destinations
The exact wording required on each sign
Existing brand colors, finishes, and sign styles
The locations of signs that need replacement
Wayfinding or identification signs included in the larger project

What to Consider When Choosing an ADA Sign Provider

A provider should be ready to discuss more than individual sign panels. Facility owners, property managers, contractors, and office administrators may need to coordinate sign types, wording, materials, visual requirements, and placement across multiple areas.

We approach accessible signage as part of a connected visual communication system. This allows us to coordinate room identification with directories, directional signs, branded graphics, and other wayfinding elements rather than planning each piece in isolation.

ADA Requirements for Tactile & Visual Signs

The 2010 ADA Standards establish technical requirements for many signs covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act. The applicable rules depend on whether a sign identifies a permanent room or space, provides direction or information, or displays a pictogram. Producing the signs is only one part of accessibility planning and doesn’t establish that an entire facility complies with every applicable requirement.

Raised Characters & Braille

Applicable tactile signs use raised characters duplicated in Grade 2 Braille. The standards address character height, spacing, raised depth, uppercase sans-serif styling, and the placement of Braille beneath the corresponding text.

Contrast, Finish, & Pictograms

Where visual-character requirements apply, characters must contrast with their background, using either light characters on a dark background or dark characters on a light background. The characters and background must also have a non-glare finish. Required pictograms have specifications for field height, contrast, and accompanying text descriptions.

Mounting Location

Tactile characters are generally mounted with the baseline of the lowest raised character at least 48 inches above the finished floor and the baseline of the highest no more than 60 inches above it. Signs identifying doors are generally placed on the latch side, subject to exceptions in the standards. The mounting location must also preserve the required clear floor space.

Planning Accessible Signage Across a Facility

The correct sign treatment depends on its purpose. A permanent room identification sign may require tactile characters and Braille, while a corridor sign providing directions may be subject to visual requirements for characters, contrast, and finish.

A facility plan may cover room names, restrooms, stairwells, elevators, exits, floor levels, accessible routes, directories, and shared amenities. Reviewing these destinations as one system helps maintain consistent terminology and directions throughout offices, healthcare facilities, schools, retail stores, hospitality properties, and other commercial buildings. Facility owners and project teams should also confirm which federal, state, local, and building-code requirements apply to their property.

Build a Clearer ADA Sign Plan

If you need new, replacement, or coordinated accessible signage, bring us your room list, facility plans, existing sign details, and larger sign schedule. We can define the scope and coordinate in-house ADA and Braille production with broader wayfinding and branded graphics for businesses in Snellville, Lilburn, Grayson, and Gwinnett County.
