FAQs for ADA Tactile and Braille Signage
What is ADA signage? and what does ADA stand for?
ADA is an abbreviation for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA as it is referred to). It was a law that was passed in 1990 in the United States, to encourage inclusivity and prohibiting discrimination against people with disabilities. In Canada, the Accessible Canada Act (ACA) was passed into law 2019 with a similar focus to promote inclusivity in public and private sectors for people with disabilities.
ADA signage, or frequently called tactile ADA signage means the copy and graphics on a sign is raised on the surface of the sign face so a visual impaired person can identify / read the copy on the sign. The standard thickness of standard ADA is 1/32” raised tactile copy but 1/16” thickness is also available. ADA signage is usually manufactured in conjunction with braille copy at the same time, on the same sign. So when the term for ADA signage is requested by the end client, please request “raised ADA tactile with braille” on your next Permel quotation request.
What type of braille do I need for my signs?
Braille can be manufactured in a couple different versions.
Grade 1 braille is non-condensed braille, meaning every letter in each word has a braille character to represent the letter.
Grade 2 braille is a condensed version of braille (short-hand) , meaning Grade 2 braille includes contractions and abbreviations to reduce the number of characters and save space.
Permel can produce raised ADA tactile and braille signs with either Grade 1 braille or Grade 2 braille. See our ADA tactile and braille signage under products for more details.
