ADA Compliant Signs-ADA Compliancy
American Braille Signage is a wholesale
manufacturer of ADA signage with the ability to
produce jobs of any size, large or small. Our acrylic
"raster Braille" method is fast to produce,
inexpensive and is ideal for the interior of office
buildings. All of our ADA compliant signs meet the
stringent California ADA requirements of Braille
character spacing as well.
We produce ADA Braille signage primarily
from acrylic, photopolymer, etched zinc and etched
magnesium. The objective is to provide assistance
to the visually impaired individual by standardizing
the minimum and maximum copy height, by
controlling the minimum contrast between the copy
and background colors, controlling the sheen of the
signs, to add appropriate pictograms describing the
purpose of the room, and to provide Braille for that
person whose eyesight is so poor as to require a
tactile description. Therefore the ADA compliant
sign is not only for the totally blind person but also
for the person whose vision needs assistance.
Acrylic (Raster Braille)
-Acrylic ADA compliant signs are
manufactured using an engraving method. The
Braille is produce by drilling precision holes into the
acrylic and forcing a very small acrylic balls into the
holes to form the Braille characters. The raised
letters are produced by gently placing a adhesive
backed, 1/32" thick sheet of colored acrylic onto the
face of the background panel and engraving the
letters and pictograms. After engraving the
surrounding material is pealed away leaving the
letters and pictograms adhered to the acrylic
backer. Because we engrave slightly below the
surface of the background, the letters have the
appearance of being an integral part of the
background acrylic. Also this helps protect the
letters from being "picked off" by vandals. This
method is often referred to as "Raster Braille" or RLS
(Raised Lettering System).
Photopolymer
-Photopolymer is a light sensitive resin
sheeting that when exposed to high intensity
ultraviolet light will harden and change its molecular
makeup. We can manipulate what areas get
exposed in the Photopolymer via a photographic
method that allows us to produce almost any
graphic we desire from this material. We offer
photopolymer in both interior and exterior varieties.
Etched Zinc and Magnesium
-Zinc and Magnesium are metals that when
chemically etched can be used for Braille signage.
Usually we laminate a 16 gage sheet of Zinc or
Magnesium over an aluminum sub carrier to reach
the desired thickness, though we can use solid Zinc
or Magnesium for your Braille signs is so desired.
Etched Zinc and Magnesium has excellent exterior
and interior applications with the best vandal
resistance of all other ADA materials.
Goal
American Braille Signage strives to provide the
most up to date and compliant ADA Braille signs
available. We use only the finest materials and
processes to build a long lasting and durable sign
that meets or exceeds current and future ADA
regulations. All our Braille is dome topped,
translated and spaced to provide the vision
impaired person with as little inconvenience as
possible. To that end, we never; supply "Flat
Topped" Braille, capitalize Braille, include
extraneous information in the translations, neglect
proper spacing and we never use Grade 1 Braille
(except in Canada when requested).
