ADA Braille Height Product Overview

ADA braille height is the mounting position standard that governs where tactile signs must sit so a blind or low-vision guest can find and read them. The ADA braille height rule places the sign's tactile center between 48 and 60 inches above the finished floor, measured to the center of the raised characters. Hotels, hospitals, and public buildings in the US specify ADA braille height signs because the 2010 ADA Standards for Accessible Design make compliant placement a legal requirement, not a preference. A sign mounted at the wrong ADA braille height fails inspection even when its text and Braille are perfect, so the height is engineered into the product from the first drill hole.

Our ADA braille height signs are built as acrylic, brass, or stainless plates with raised characters and Grade 2 Braille. The acrylic ADA braille height sign is the versatile default with printed and engraved fields; the brass ADA braille height sign suits heritage and upscale properties; the stainless ADA braille height sign fits modern, high-traffic corridors. Every ADA braille height sign is drilled to land at the compliant center, so installers mount it without measuring on site.

ADA Braille Height Specifications

The ADA braille height sign follows a standard reference spec; custom dimensions and finishes are available under OEM and ODM.

The standard ADA braille height sign is 200 x 200 mm and 3 mm thick, with drill points set so the tactile center lands at 48 inches. The ADA braille height sign is offered in acrylic for volume, brass for warmth, or stainless for durability. Raised characters sit 1/32 inch above the surface with a Grade 2 Braille cell beneath the text. Mounting options for the ADA braille height sign include screw, adhesive, and recessed, fitting drywall, tile, and wood. The compliant ADA braille height placement removes on-site measuring and speeds inspection sign-off.
