Rowmark, LLC is now stocking six ADA Alternative colors in 1/4 inch thickness. ADA Alternative features a matte finish designed to comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Federal regulations. The sheet is engineered to be Braille receptive, laser and rotary engravable, and routable. It’s ideal for both ADA and non-ADA signage projects that require a rigid substrate or backer panel.
The request for 1/4 inch thick ADA-compliant materials has increased due to California’s Code of Regulations (CCR) Title 24, which requires that restroom signage be identified with an equilateral triangle or circle that is ¼ inch (6.4 mm) thick. Graphic designers and architects have also requested sign-making materials in ¼ inch thickness for other non-ADA applications.

"We made two signs - a reverse engraved EXIT paint filled with black. We found that the material was very easy to engrave. We also tested the glow factor and found that the material is really bright and keeps its photoluminescent properties for a long period of time. We used black ADA Alternative with the LaserGlow applique. The sign looks great - because of the contrast the depth of the letters seemed to increase which we though was neat."
