ADA Plaques & Wayfinding Signs
Enhance Your Project With 4-Color Wayfinding Plaques
We'll turn your images into brilliant graphics to capture anyone’s attention. We don't use loose
beads for the Braille component or rely on imperfect, non-compliant castings so the result is
breathtaking. ADA plaques don’t have to be a distraction from a project’s overall beauty but
instead an enhancement.
ADA Architectural Plaques
As with many laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which became law on July 26, 1993,
created many questions about compliance. Affordable Signs standards and quality control measures
ensure that your ADA signage and markers comply with this act whether your ordering standard sizes
or requesting custom-designed pieces that seamlessly blend into your location, not stick out from it.
Color, design, shape – your choice is only limited by your imagination. And by choosing Affordable
Signs ADA-compliant signage, you will not only be “up to code,” you will also help individuals with
disabilities navigate independently.
Notes: All copy (standard lettering and Grade 2 Braille) and border is raised from the background.
Lettering is raised .04" while Braille is raised .031". The typestyle on all standard signs is usually
Helvetica. Alternate type styles may be specified on custom ADA signs, but restrictions on styles do
apply in meeting ADA specifications. The symbols depicted on ADA signs meet Department of
Transportation standards.
All raised lettering, symbols and borders on standard ADA signs receive a brushed satin finish. The
raised Grade 2 Braille is painted to match the background. Raised areas may be painted with a color
that contrasts with the background color upon request.
Borders on standard ADA signs are 1/8" wide raised single lines with radius corners. Other borders
styles and corners are available on custom ADA signs.

All ADA plaques have raised characters 1/32" from sign face. The Grade 2 braille will also be
raised 1/32", with perfectly round tops and seperated 1/2" from corresponding text. Plaque design
should allow for adequately contrasting foreground and background for compliant visibility per ADA
regulations. All ADA plaques are coated standard with semi-gloss powdercoat for maximum
durability.1
