Every business needs a set of restroom signs, including handicapped restroom signs and separate signs for men and women. It might seem like a small issue, but restroom upkeep and proper signage is very important to the image of a company. And when it comes to healthcare facilities, which are supposed to be very up to date when it comes to code and health standards, they take on even more meaning to patients and visitors. Without the proper signage when it comes to restrooms, clear as can be and extremely visible, you're not where you need to be. If you're just building a new restroom, the signs are an important aspect that doesn't bear forgetting.

Restroom ADA Sign

Restroom signs are an extremely diverse set of signs. They serve a lot of purposes, and they are governed by a lot of different laws and regulations, some of which vary from state to state. Restrooms are not a primary focus for any business, but no matter what kind of building or business you run, they're very important for customers, users, and to your continued compliance with state and federal law. Some of the different types of signs are men restroom signs, women restroom signs, and handicapped restroom signs. There are also signs compliant with California laws, as well as other state and federal regulations.

Restroom laws regarding signage are very strict and specific because they need to be. These are private rooms in public spaces, and it's important to make users as comfortable as possible, and also to stay up to code and not fall into non-compliance. The signs we make here at HSI are always up to the latest codes and regulations, we take great pride in keeping healthcare facilities up to date and out of trouble.

The first major type of restroom signage separates men and women. Men restroom signs that dictate which bathroom is available to that sex are important to both men and women. The fixtures, signs, and needs of each bathroom change depending on whether it's meant for men or women, or both. The men sign is the first step in creating that distance.

The women restroom sign is equally important, and possibly even more so. Again, appliances and fixtures will change because of the designation, and it's important for both sexes to feel they have separate places to go in a large building like a healthcare facility. While unisex bathrooms are certainly not uncommon, they are usually not the only type of bathroom in very large buildings, like hospitals. Both the men and women versions of these signs must make room for a third designation, which comes attendant with the most strict, as well as most important, regulations and rules. Handicapped restroom signs.

Handicapped restroom signs come with a set of rules and regulations all their own, often dictated by the Americans with Disabilites Act, or ADA. This law regulates how the signs should look, what the symbols on the signs should be, and how the signs should be read. These signs also indicate a bathroom capable of handling the needs of a handicapped person. One of the more interesting (and hardest to do, from a sign making perspective) regulations applies to braille writing on public restroom signs.

Recently the law has changed to incorporate new standards when it comes to handicap signs in bathrooms. Specifically, now all signs must use a specific, easy to read type of braille that makes the bathroom more accessible to those with disabilities. Doing these signs is extremely important to us at HSI, because not only does it serve customers and show off our best sign making technique ability, it's helpful to those who normally have a hard time dealing with unfamiliar bathrooms.
