ADA Architectural Plaques

As with many laws, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), which became law on July 26, 1993, created many questions about compliance. Gemini manufacturing standards and quality control measures ensure that your ADA signage and markers comply with this act whether your ordering standard sizes or requesting custom-designed pieces that seamlessly blend into your location, not stick out from it. Color, design, shape – your choice is only limited by your imagination. And by choosing Gemini’s ADA-compliant signage, you will not only be “up to code,” you will also help reduce the frustration individuals with disabilities have in trying to navigate throughout our society independently. At Gemini, we are committed to making your ADA signage more user friendly for everyone, not just those with disabilities.

Notes: All copy (standard lettering and Grade 2 Braille) and border is raised from the background. Lettering is raised .04" while Braille is raised .031". The typestyle on all standard signs is usually Helvetica. Alternate type styles may be specified on custom ADA signs, but restrictions on styles do apply in meeting ADA specifications. The symbols depicted on Gemini’s ADA signs meet Department of Transportation standards.

All raised lettering, symbols and borders on standard ADA signs receive a brushed satin finish. The raised Grade 2 Braille is painted to match the background. Raised areas may be painted with a color that contrasts with the background color upon request.

Borders on standard ADA signs are 1/8" wide raised single lines with radius corners. Other borders styles and corners are available on custom ADA signs.

Like all our plaques – they are perfect every time.

Let Gemini Wayfinding Plaques Color Your World

You don’t see the world in black and white, so why should your most visible directional signage be a pale, two-tone reflection of life? Now it doesn’t have to thanks to a new process developed by Gemini.

Gemini’s 4-Color ADA & Wayfinding Plaques use cutting edge technology to print and seal brilliant color into your most demanding directional signage projects. Whether you need high quality directional plaques that seamlessly blend into the décor of a hotel or office building, or eye-catching graphics that help people locate educational and interpretive information in a museum or cultural center, Gemini’s 4-color process sets these plaques head and shoulders above other wayfinding methods.

Manufactured using high-grade aluminum, we can use your vector-based art file to create a stunning 4-color masterpiece with a resolution up to 1200 dpi on a plaque as large as 40" by 64". Designed for interior applications, these colorful plaques can also be used in certain outdoor locations. Like all Gemini products they are Guaranteed for Life.
