ADA Restroom Signs - 6 Common Types That Help Your Business
ADA restroom signs are a common sight in businesses all across the nation.
Many of the customers that visit my sign shop don't realize the value of good ADA restroom signs in helping their businesses be more successful. Making sure you have the right signs can help.
Here's how ADA restroom signs help businesses
Just about everyone is familiar with the symbols of accessibility contained on tactile restroom signs. In fact, those symbols are so recognizable they help everyone find restrooms in schools, hospitals, department stores, malls, and other businesses regardless of their physical condition.
This familiarity can be a great source of comfort for your customers and visitors. Comfort is essential for welcoming customers and clients to your business and making them feel reassured and more willing to do business with you.
6 types of common ADA restroom signs
There are several sizes available, but the 8x8 inch square signs are the most familiar in many areas. Here are 6 of the most common types of ADA restroom signs that can help your business.
- The Standard Restroom Location Sign - This is the restroom sign that has graphic symbols for both male and female restroom locations. Use this sign to mark the general path leading to restroom areas containing both rooms.
- The Men's Restroom Sign - This ADA sign features a raised graphic symbol for male and is used to mark the men's restroom. Place this sign in the immediate area for that room type, and anyone will be able to find it with no problem.
- The Women's Restroom Sign - The graphic symbol for female is raised from the sign surface and marks the women's restroom. Symbols like this one have been created with a minimum of design features to create the simplest and clearest identity for restrooms.
- The Men's ISA Restroom Sign - This restroom sign features the standard symbol for male plus the recognized symbol for International Symbol of Accessibility, or ISA. This is the wheelchair accessible symbol that has become a familiar sight in businesses everywhere.
- The Women's ISA Restroom Sign - Similar to the men's ISA restroom sign but uses a female symbol. This sign is also used at the room location for restrooms with wheelchair accessibility.
- The Unisex ISA Restroom Sign - If your facility contains a restroom area accessible to both genders, this unisex sign can be used. The symbols for male and female are combined on the sign just as they are on the standard restroom sign, and the ISA symbol is added to mark wheelchair accessibility for all.
One or more of these ADA tactile signs should be just what you need to mark your restroom areas. The feeling of comfort and familiarity they provide will be a welcome sight to your customers no matter who they are.
And comfortable customers and clients will feel good about doing business with your company, and may even be inspired to return again. And all it takes is a few well-placed ADA Restroom Signs.

Toothpaste questions?
I was shopping for toothpaste the other day and looking at the back I noticed many of them had different types and amounts of flouride and other ingredients. So which one is the best overall? For preventing cavities? For whitening? And I also noticed many lacked the ADA symbol on it, does that have a factor on quality as well?
Also, I really like Aquafresh's extreme clean, is that a good toothpaste?
To determine just which brands of toothpaste were the best, Consumer Reports did a study back in 1998 with 38 of the best selling toothpaste products on the market. 30 of those toothpastes were rated "excellent" which tells you most people will probably be fine with any brand they choose. Fluoride is included in almost all toothpaste sold in the United States and definitely has helped cut back on tooth decay. Toothpastes contain pretty much the same ingredients with different levels of fluoride and ingredients to control inflamed gums or tooth sensitivity. The tooth whitening effects of toothpastes is still under the microscope and will be discussed below. There is really only so many ways to market toothpaste and we hear all the time that you will "get a brighter smile" or "have whiter teeth", but most of those claims go unproven when an independent review company steps in to see what consumers really think. I personally treat toothpaste like I do my shampoo - I switch the brand I use each time I buy a new one. That way I'm assured of giving my teeth a variety of toothpaste products that claim to do "good things" for my teeth.
I GOT THE INFO ABOVE FROM THE LINK BELOW
I'd recommend Colgate Total. I use it and (the taste might not be
great) it makes my teeth white.
Hope that helps!
