Wayfinding signage is more than just ID plaques on office doors or arrow signs showing visitors the way. Wayfinding extends throughout an entire property.
It’s the handicap logo on an accessible bathroom door or an emergency exit sign over a stairway. It’s parking lot directions and fire lane signs. It’s good customer service, too, showing people where products are, or where a certain suite is. Some wayfinding signs are required by law, and there are codes and regulations that govern those signs.
It’s all about helping people navigate the world we share.
ADA signs ensure that everyone can navigate the world. Governed by the American with Disabilities Act, these signs are regulated by need, readability, and accessibility.
Wayfinding signs are everywhere. They are something you see so often you probably don’t even consider them. Here are some more common types of wayfinding signs that SOULO can produce for your business.
SOULO can design, print, and fabricate any wayfinding sign you need. We will help you determine the proper material composition (which differs depending on indoor versus outdoor use), and make sure your signs meet any legal requirements. Our signs are made in-house by our large format experts with many years of experience.
Federal, state, or local regulations and codes may limit dimensions, heights, and/or have certain setback limits. They may dictate what fonts and colors (and even raising or braille) may be used. While these regulations are designed to improve safety and increase accessibility, they can often be difficult to navigate. That’s where SOULO can help. Our sign experts have installed thousands of signs so we’re very familiar with the requirements of just about every wayfinding sign you can think of.
When it comes to installing wayfinding signs, it may not be as simple as sticking a name plate to a door or pounding a post into the ground. There are codes to consider: sign height restrictions and clearances, for example. And as mentioned above, SOULO’s sign professionals have installed thousands of signs. We have the equipment and knowledge to make sure your sign is installed right the first time. We comb through the codes, so you don’t have to.
Whether you need a few signs or fifty, contact SOULO today to be certain you are ADA compliant.
