When it comes to signage, the details matter. And few details are more important—or more overlooked—than ADA compliance. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requires certain signs in public and commercial spaces to meet strict standards for accessibility, but here’s the good news: ADA signage doesn’t have to look boring.
At Mello Signs, we design and manufacture ADA-compliant signage that blends seamlessly with your brand, because accessibility and aesthetics should always go hand in hand.
What Is ADA Signage?
ADA signage includes any signs that identify permanent rooms or spaces in a building. To comply with federal guidelines, these signs must follow specific rules around:
- Tactile lettering (raised text)
- Braille translation
- High color contrast
- Non-glare finishes
- Specific font types and sizes
- Mounting height and placement
These regulations are in place to ensure that everyone, regardless of ability, can navigate your space safely and confidently.
Where Is ADA Signage Required?
Most businesses are required to include ADA-compliant signage in the following areas:
- Restrooms
- Exits and stairwells
- Elevators
- Conference and meeting rooms
- Office or suite numbers
- Directional and wayfinding signs in public spaces
If your building is open to the public or has employees, ADA signage is not optional—it’s the law.
Design + Compliance: You Don’t Have to Choose
Too often, businesses settle for generic ADA signs that clash with the rest of their space. But compliance doesn’t have to come at the cost of good design.
At Mello Signs, we create custom ADA packages that meet all federal requirements and reflect your branding. That means we incorporate your fonts, colors, and vibe with precision, passion, and purpose. Your signage looks cohesive, professional, and intentional from the front door to the back hallway.
