Overview

Wayfinding and ADA-compliant signage, designed and installed to code.

Tactile signage, Braille, pictograms, room IDs, directionals, code signs. We design, fabricate, and mount all of it to the strictest reading of ADA §703 and whatever state standard applies on top. The Signavero network runs wayfinding programs for healthcare campuses, schools and universities, hospitality portfolios, and Class A corporate buildings.

Common applications

Healthcare, campus, hospitality, corporate.

  • Hospital and clinic wayfinding. Room IDs, directional systems, code signs, exit signage. We use infection-control-rated materials wherever the spec calls for them.
  • Education campus systems. A full wayfinding hierarchy, from building IDs down to interior directionals and individual room plates.
  • Hotel wayfinding. Lobby directionals, conference space identification, in-corridor wayfinding, ADA-compliant room numbering.
  • Corporate HQ. Conference room IDs, floor directionals, ADA stair-and-elevator signs, and accessible-route markers.
Materials we typically specify

Photopolymer, applique acrylic, brushed metal frames.

Photopolymer tactile
1/32″

Cast Grade 2 Braille and 1/32-inch raised characters that meet ADA and shrug off cleaning chemistry.

Applique acrylic
ADA

Painted acrylic plates with applied tactile elements. A flexible finish that still passes inspection.

Frames & standoffs
Metal

Brushed and anodized aluminum, oil-rubbed bronze, or powder-coated steel, kept within ADA reflectivity limits.

Infection-control
Clean

Antimicrobial overlaminates and substrates for ICU/OR-adjacent wipe-down with quat and isopropyl alcohol.

Fabrication notes

Tactile character standards and finish reflectivity.

Two fabrication details decide whether a sign passes ADA inspection. The first is character height and pictogram size. §703 prescribes 5/8 to 2 inches for tactile characters and a minimum 6-inch pictogram field. The second is finish reflectivity. High-gloss finishes fail because they throw reading glare, so we spec matte and satin only. Both rules are built into our standard fab template. They are not optional design decisions.

Installation considerations

Mounting position and the latch-side rule.

  • Mounting height. Tactile characters sit between 48 and 60 inches above the finished floor, measured to the baseline of the lowest character and the baseline of the highest.
  • Latch-side placement. The sign goes on the latch side of the door, clear of the door swing, with an 18×18-inch clear floor space centered on the tactile characters.
  • Field gauge verification. Every installer carries an ADA gauge. We don't eyeball mounting tolerance on these signs.
  • State + city overlays. California, Texas, and New York pile stricter rules on top of the federal baseline for character height, pictogram size, and finish. We spec to the strictest standard that applies, never the loosest.
Cross-links

Wayfinding in context.

ADA wayfinding usually ships alongside dimensional letters that handle the lobby and primary-identification read. When a program touches public accommodations, it also routes through permits & compliance. For the healthcare and corporate side, see corporate & healthcare. Multi-property hospitality lives under retail & hospitality.
