Americans with Disabilities Act gives civil rights
protections to individuals with disabilities similar to
those provided to individuals on the basis of race, color,
sex, national origin, age, and religion. It guarantees
equal opportunity for individuals with disabilities in
public accommodations, employment, transportation, State and
local government services, and telecommunications.
Developers, builders, architects, and planners confront new
challenges as they work to keep pace with ADA legislation.
Etchcraft USA specializes in ADA compliance and will help
your building project exceed ADA specifications and control
project costs.
When the ADA took
effect in 1990, Etchcraft exhaustively researched the impact
of this legislation on the sign
industry. In 1991, we
hired a team of sight-impaired individuals with varying
degrees of blindness to work as consultants on research and
development for braille and raised-contrast signage.
Erosion can wear away braille dots or make signs abrasive to
blind users. After perfecting the technique of
etching on stainless steel, Company President Lloyd Ostby
worked with his production team to create braille signage systems
that could withstand the outdoor elements. Etchcraft
signs are built to last, trimming maintenance costs while
preserving ADA compliance.
Our clients rely on our ADA expertise to help them manage
their most demanding projects. |
