ADA Signage: A type of interior signage used by architectural, construction, and signage industries with the advent of the Americans With Disabilities Act, or ADA. ADA Accessibility Guidelines, or ADAAG, require much more than just braille and raised characters on some signs. In general, almost every sign that would be considered an "architectural" sign must comply with one or another of the ADA Guidelines. In other words, if a sign identifies a permanent room or space of a facility, including exits, directs or informs about functional spaces of the facility, or identifies, directs to, or informs about accessible features of the facility, it must comply. Signs for advertising and marketing purposes, temporary signs, company logos and names are examples of signs or sections of signs that do not have to comply. The general rules for signage covered by the law can be found at http://www.access-board.gov/.
Alumicore, Alubond, Aluminum: Various substrates comprised of aluminum used for fabricating outdoor signs. These come in many sizes and thicknesses depending on the application.
Awning Sign: A building-mounted sign that provides additional functionality as shelter.
