ADA Braille Signs
Accessibility Made Local: ADA Braille Signs for Your Business
Accessibility opens the door to more patrons and community members. With Landmark Sign’s ADA-compliant Braille signs, creating a compliant, welcoming environment for everyone is simple.
Why Is ADA Compliance Essential?
Compliance isn’t optional. ADA-compliant signage is a legal requirement for businesses and plays a critical role in helping your property meet federal accessibility standards.
That’s why Landmark Sign helps St. Louis businesses to create and maintain compliant, well-crafted signage. We understand the complexities of accessibility laws and will guide you through the process. Federal accessibility standards are complex, and many businesses aren’t sure exactly what qualifies as compliant. Missing or incorrect signage can lead to:
- Failed building inspections
- Serious compliance issues
- Expensive liability risks
How Do ADA Braille Signs Assist in Room Identification?
Navigating a building should be straightforward for everyone, regardless of their abilities. ADA Braille signs are specific architectural signs designed to clearly identify permanent rooms and spaces within a facility. Their primary purpose is to ensure that individuals with visual impairments can safely and independently navigate your building, creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all your visitors.
Understanding ADA Compliance Requirements
ADA Braille signs must comply with strict federal guidelines. These include, but are not limited to:
A matte finish reduces reflections, making the sign easier to read regardless of interior lighting.
This must be positioned directly below the text.
Text and background colors must have a strong contrast to ensure visibility for those with low vision.
Signs are required to be mounted at a precise height and location, typically on the wall adjacent to the latch side of the door.
Tactile lettering to accommodate touch-based reading.
Where Do I Need to Put ADA Braille Signs?
The Americans with Disabilities Act established a set of clear guidelines requiring signage for all permanent spaces in facilities open to the public. You must install ADA Braille signs for:
- Restrooms
- Exit doors
- Stairwells
- Elevators
- Room names and numbers
- Utility and storage rooms

Residential Signage FAQ's
All permanent rooms or spaces are required to have ADA braille signs, as do any signs that direct visitors to a functional area or indicate a designated exit.

Grade 2 Braille is a shorthand version of Braille that includes contractions. This makes it quicker to read and saves space on the sign.
They should generally be mounted on the wall adjacent to the latch side of the door, at a height that allows for easy tactile reading.
