This page contains recommended best practices. To ensure compliance with all ADA requirements, we refer you to local ADA regulations.

The American Disabilities Act (ADA) has several requirements for signage, including:

  • Character height: The height of characters on an ADA sign should be between 5/8 in and 2 in. The height is measured from the baseline of the lowest tactile character.
  • Character spacing: The space between characters should be at least 1/8 in, but no more than four times the character stroke.
  • Character style: Characters should be in a sans serif font, and not in italics or condensed.
  • Character case: Characters should be in uppercase.
  • Character depth: Raised characters should be at least 1/32 in above the sign’s base.
  • Character proportions: The width of the uppercase letter “O” should be at least 55% and no more than 110% of the height of the uppercase “I”.
  • Braille: Signs that identify a public space should be in Grade 2 Braille.
  • Contrast ratio: Signs should have a high contrast ratio between the background and the content.
  • Finish: Signs should have a non-glare finish.
  • Pictograms: Signs should include the appropriate pictograms, such as a symbol for stairs or restroom.
  • Tactile characters: Tactile characters should be located 48 in to 60 in above the ground.
  • Clear floor space: There should be a clear floor space of at least 18 in by 18 in centered on the tactile characters.

Some states and municipalities have additional signage requirements that go beyond the federal ADA regulations.

Plaque production is 6 weeks after submission of design. Plaque lead time cannot be expedited.
Completed door number plaques are sent by mail directly to customer to be attached to the sconce
panel on site once sconces have been installed.
