What are ADA Braille signs?

ADA Braille signs are accessibility-focused signs that can combine visual text, raised tactile characters, Braille, pictograms, and other features depending on the sign's purpose and location.

What is tactile signage?

Tactile signage includes raised characters or other elements that people can identify through touch. Tactile signs are commonly used for permanent room and facility identification.

Do all ADA signs need Braille?

No. Different sign types serve different purposes, and the accessibility features required can vary. Permanent room identification signs, directional signs, informational signs, and overhead signs do not necessarily follow identical requirements.

What are ADA directional signs?

ADA directional signs help visitors locate destinations such as restrooms, elevators, accessible entrances, offices, exits, and other areas. Their design should emphasize clear wording, readability, contrast, symbols, and logical placement.

Where are tactile ADA signs commonly used?

Tactile ADA signs are commonly used for permanent rooms and spaces such as restrooms, offices, conference rooms, stairwells, elevators, classrooms, and utility rooms.

Can ADA signs match a company's branding?

ADA signage can often incorporate custom colors, materials, finishes, room numbering, and other design elements while keeping accessibility requirements central to the design.

ADA Signs for Nashville Buildings

MetroCenter Signworks designs, fabricates, and installs signs for offices, apartment communities, medical buildings, schools, churches, retail properties, and other commercial facilities in Nashville and Middle Tennessee. Projects can range from a few room identification signs to a coordinated building signage package.

The signs a property needs depend on the spaces, the purpose of each sign, and the applicable accessibility and building requirements. Our team can review your sign schedule, drawings, branding, and installation locations to help plan the package.

Types of Signs We Can Help You Plan

Tactile room identification signs: Signs for permanent rooms and spaces where raised characters and Braille are required.
Restroom and other facility signs: Identification for spaces throughout a building.
Directional and wayfinding signs: Visual information that helps visitors find departments, entrances, amenities, and routes.
Apartment and office signage: Unit, suite, common-area, and room identification, assessed according to each sign’s function.
Exit and other required signs: Signs planned according to the requirements that apply to their specific location and purpose.

Not every directional or branded sign needs Braille, and not every sign has the same mounting rules. Identifying each sign’s function before fabrication helps avoid treating a whole building package as one standard sign type. For a closer explanation, read our ADA and tactile signage guide.

ADA Signage for Apartments, Offices, and Commercial Properties

A larger property may need signs for many different spaces. MetroCenter Signworks can help property managers, developers, contractors, architects, and business owners organize consistent signage across a building.

Multifamily properties: Unit and common-area identification, amenities, directional signs, and other property signage.
Office buildings: Room and suite identification, conference rooms, restrooms, and wayfinding.
Medical and professional spaces: Room identification, departments, restrooms, and directional information.
Schools and community facilities: Room signs and wayfinding planned around the building’s layout.

Share a sign schedule or floor plan if you have one. It helps the team identify the sign types, quantities, wording, and mounting locations before production.

Custom Signs That Fit Your Interior

Accessibility requirements do not mean every sign must have the same appearance. Materials, colors, and finishes can be selected to complement an interior, provided the finished sign meets the requirements that apply to its function. Readability, contrast where required, tactile content, and installation location should be checked as part of the final design.

If your project also needs a branded entrance or reception feature, explore our custom lobby signs. Those signs may serve a different purpose from required room identification signs.

What Do ADA Signs Cost in Nashville?

Cost depends on the number of signs, wording, tactile and Braille requirements, material, finish, design work, and installation. The following ranges are the planning figures currently listed on this page; a project-specific quote is needed for final pricing.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which ADA signs need raised characters and Braille?

Signs identifying permanent rooms and spaces generally have tactile and Braille requirements under the applicable standards. Directional and informational signs have different visual-sign requirements and do not require Braille solely because they provide directions. Review the specific sign type against the 2010 ADA Standards and the project’s other applicable requirements.

Can the signs match our building’s design?

Yes. Materials, colors, and finishes can be considered alongside the requirements for the particular sign. The final artwork and materials should be reviewed for readability and applicable tactile, Braille, contrast, and finish criteria before fabrication.

Can you provide a package for an apartment or office building?

MetroCenter Signworks can review a building-wide sign list and discuss a coordinated package for room identification, common areas, and wayfinding. A floor plan or sign schedule helps establish the scope.

Will the signs pass an inspection?

No sign provider can promise an inspection outcome without reviewing the complete project and the requirements applied by the relevant authority. MetroCenter Signworks can use the project specifications and applicable standards to plan the signs, then coordinate any needed review before production and installation.

How long will an order take?

Timing depends on the sign quantity, materials, custom finishes, artwork approval, and installation scope. Share your required date when requesting a quote so the team can confirm an achievable schedule for that project.

What is an ADA sign?
