Access Board and the ADA

The US Access Board develops the ADA Accessibility Guidelines or ADDAG and is an excellent reference to use when you need help answering specific question around ADA complaint signage.  

There are many questions that arise in the design, planning and installation of signage and the Access Board can give the correct answer and give it to you quickly.  Getting your information direct from the source can help clarify issues where information from different parties is contradicting and allows you to know what the correct codes are that you need to follow.

Visit the Access Board at www.access-board.gov.  You will also be able to find which set of guidelines each state is following as several state are still following the original ADA guideline while other have adopted the 2004 ADDAG.

Nova Polymers Introduces
a New Green Alternative Solution for ADA Signage

NovAcryl® GR™ Photopolymer is the latest addition to Nova's diverse line of photopolymer substrates for ADA Compliant Room Identification Signage

Fairfield, NJ -- NovAcryl® GR™ is a new line of photopolymer sign material for high-resolution raised graphics and ADA-compliant room identification signage. NovAcryl® GR™, offered exclusively by Nova Polymers, allows sign designers and fabricators the ability to create a green sign solution without design limitations or increased costs.

NovAcryl® GR™ is a result of Nova Polymers partnering with 3form®, a leader in the manufacturing of eco-friendly substrates, to offer an environmentally conscious and affordable product that can be used for signage projects that require a green solution or will be used inLEED Certified facilities.

NovAcryl® GR™ is environmentally and user friendly. This unique sign material is processed in plain tap water and bonds to 3form® Clear Ecoresin panels, which are non-toxic, Greenguard Certified and contain a minimum of 40% recycled content.
