ADA Compliant Signs
SignsSanDiego 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.
We offer these signs either fully processed and ready to install or paint
ready for finishing by others.

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.
