Frequently Asked Questions
Do you manufacture the signs?
No, we are a design engineering firm. We provide the "blueprints" and print-ready files that you hand to a fabrication shop.
Will these designs meet ADA requirements?
Yes, we design strictly within ADA guidelines regarding contrast, braille placement, and typography size, though final inspection lies with the local building inspector.
Can you work with my architect?
Absolutely. We prefer to integrate our designs directly into the architectural master plan for a seamless look.
What format are the final files?
You receive industry-standard vector files (Adobe Illustrator/PDF) scaled for production, along with technical elevations for placement.
How do you handle illumination?
We specify the *type* of lighting (e.g., Halo-lit, Face-lit, Edge-lit) and color temperature in our specs, but the electrical wiring is handled by your contractor.
