ADA Restroom Signs - 6 Common Types That Help Your Business

ADA restroom signs are a common sight in businesses all across the nation.

Many of the customers that visit my sign shop don't realize the value of good tactile restroom signs in helping their businesses be more successful. Making sure you have the right signs can help.

Here's how ADA restroom signs help businesses

Just about everyone is familiar with the symbols of accessibility contained on tactile restroom signs. In fact, those symbols are so recognizable they help everyone find restrooms in schools, hospitals, department stores, malls, and other businesses regardless of their physical condition.

This familiarity can be a great source of comfort for your customers and visitors. Comfort is essential for welcoming customers and clients to your business and making them feel reassured and more willing to do business with you.

6 types of common ADA restroom signs

There are several sizes available, but the 8x8 inch square signs are the most familiar in many areas.

Here are 6 of the most common types of ADA restroom signs that can help your business.

1. The Standard Restroom Location Sign - This is the restroom sign that has graphic symbols for both male and female restroom locations. Use this sign to mark the general path leading to restroom areas containing both rooms.
2. The Men's Restroom Sign - This ADA sign features a raised graphic symbol for male and is used to mark the men's restroom. Place this sign in the immediate area for that room type, and anyone will be able to find it with no problem.
3. The Women's Restroom Sign - The graphic symbol for female is raised from the sign surface and marks the women's restroom. Symbols like this one have been created with a minimum of design features to create the simplest and clearest identity for restrooms.
4. The Men's ISA Restroom Sign - This restroom sign features the standard symbol for male plus the recognized symbol for International Symbol of Accessibility, or ISA. This is the wheelchair accessible symbol that has become a familiar sight in businesses everywhere.
5. The Women's ISA Restroom Sign - Similar to the men's ISA restroom sign but uses a female symbol. This sign is also used at the room location for restrooms with wheelchair accessibility.
6. The Unisex ISA Restroom Sign - If your facility contains a restroom area accessible to both genders, this unisex sign can be used. The symbols for male and female are combined on the sign just as they are on the standard restroom sign, and the ISA symbol is added to mark wheelchair accessibility for all.

One or more of these ADA tactile signs should be just what you need to mark your restroom areas. The feeling of comfort and familiarity they provide will be a welcome sight to your customers no matter who they are.

And comfortable customers and clients will feel good about doing business with your company, and may even be inspired to return again. And all it takes is a few well-placed ADA Restroom Signs.
