Frequently Asked Questions
Are your directory signage fully compliant with ADA Title III regulations?
Yes, absolutely. All tactile and Braille directory signage are fabricated to the exact spacing, raised dot coordinates, text heights, and color contrast ratios mandated by current federal ADA accessibility guidelines, ensuring they pass accessibility code audits.
Can we customize the backing colors of directory signage to match our corporate branding?
Yes. We implement professional Pantone Color Matching (PMS). Our pre-press designers match your branding vector files to exact Pantone formulas to print clean corporate backdrops that maintain pristine brand consistency.
What materials do you recommend for high-traffic building corridors?
For busy hallways, elevator lobbies, and utility zones, we highly recommend our heavy-gauge brushed aluminum, satin stainless steel, or high-impact cast acrylic panels. These substrates resist severe corridor collisions, chemical scrubbing, and tenant tampering.
How does contracted Grade 2 Braille differ from standard Braille?
Grade 2 Braille is a contracted, compressed shorthand system where specific dot configurations represent whole words or letter combinations, saving space. Accessibility codes mandate the use of Grade 2 Braille with spherically rounded dots for all tactile wayfinding room labels.
Where should a building egress or exit sign be mounted?
Exit and wayfinding indicators must be installed directly adjacent to the latch side of the door. They must be mounted between 48 and 60 inches from finished floor level, ensuring the tactile text baseline remains highly visible and reachable for sensory reading.
Do you provide professional on-site mounting for directory signage?
Yes. We employ dedicated, OSHA-certified installation crews that cover the entire NY/NJ area. Our team surveys the site, verifies mounting heights, anchors heavy directories and dimensional logos to structural supports, and ensures all installations satisfy local building safety codes.
Can we include custom symbols or pictograms on our tactile directory signage?
Yes, absolutely. We can print or emboss standard safety pictograms (e.g. wheelchair accessibility, fire hazard alert, restricted entry) alongside tactile text to help tenants immediately identify mechanical rooms and emergency exits.
How long does the in-house fabrication of directory signage take?
Standard compliance door plaques are typically fabricated and ready for shipping in 3 to 5 business days. More complex custom projects, such as large routed lobby logos, custom magnetic directories, or SEG fabric lightboxes, generally take 7 to 10 business days from the date of final vector proof approval.
