I have asked this question befor but lost the address. There is a company that produces stick on brail strips and I need their address so I can order.

Would rather order new signs but the boss said no. Still think gold letters on sandblasted glass mounted on a window with another window behind it is hard to read. Sorry, just one of the things that gripes me when I see the signs.

If the signs are hard to read, they may not meet the ADA requirement for contrast, finish, stroke height to width ratio, etc.

If the signs will still not be comliant, why add the braille?

Maybe you do need new signs after all.

Thank you Jean, will contact them.

Paul, These are to replace some glass signs that keep falling off the windows. To replace them would cost about $350.00 last time we checked. They are 6"x 6.25"x .25" glass with a cresent shape at the right corner that has been sandblasted to produce the room number that are painted a dull gold and brail. They were mounted on .5" acrylic legs with VHB dots.

They are very hard to read but passed the inspection when installed. I am replaceing them as they fall with acrylic signs. The boss is very unhappy with the glass signs and refuses to pay 350.00 each plus the 100.00 instalation fee. I run the sign shop "Ray's Graphics Grotto" at the college and have to do as I am told.

Can you tell me what the same thing in clear acrylic would cost?
