| At HOTELSIGNS.com, we understand that providing a welcoming, accessible, and inclusive environment is a top priority. As a key part of your hotel's overall wayfinding system, ADA braille signs are essential. This page will guide you through ADA requirements to ensure your property is compliant and ready to welcome every traveler.
Understanding the Essentials of ADA & Braille
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has clear regulations for permanent room identifiers like hotel room signs. These rules are in place to ensure guests with visual impairments can easily locate their room and navigate your property with confidence. To be compliant, each braille sign must meet specific standards for both visual and tactile elements.
- Tactile (Raised) Text & Braille: Your signs must include both raised lettering and Grade 2 braille. The raised characters must be at least 1/32" high and in an all-caps, sans-serif font. The braille must be a domed or rounded shape.
- Signage Installation: ADA hotel signs mandate that tactile characters are installed between 48" and 60" above the floor. A simple rule of thumb is to center the sign at 54". The sign must be located on the latch side of the door.
| Braille Room Number Signs
Every permanent guest room in your facility requires an ADA-compliant braille room number sign. These ADA signs include raised text and Grade 2 braille and are installed at a specific height on the latch side of the door. This ensures that every guest can easily and independently locate their room, providing a sense of confidence and security.
ADA Room Signs
Beyond guest room numbers, your property has a variety of permanent ADA room signs for spaces like business centers, manager offices, fitness centers, laundry, and more. Each of these signs must also comply with ADA standards for tactile text and braille. Our braille signs can be customized to match your brand's unique style while meeting every regulation.
ADA Restroom Signs
Properly marked ADA restroom signs are a non-negotiable part of your hotel's compliance. Accessibility guidelines require specific tactile characters and pictograms, along with braille, to help visually impaired guests easily locate and identify the lavatory. Our braille bathroom signs ensure your facility is both compliant and beautifully designed.
ADA Stairs Signs
The ADA mandates specific signage on every level of a building to mark stairwells. ADA stairs signs must include tactile characters and braille identifying the floor level, exit route, and other key information. These signs are a critical component of your hotel’s emergency egress plan, ensuring guests can safely navigate your property in any situation.
