ADA and Wayfinding

ADA & WAYFINDING

ADA COMPLIANT. SPIKE'S MADE TRUE.

All of our ADA/wayfinding plaques are designed and manufactured to meet ADA requirements, and made from solid metal in order to provide a superior product that will not chip or crack.

MORE METALS, MORE COLORS

You can choose from base metal, painted colors or up to 1200 dpi photographic images for the surfaces of your plaques. All plaques are UV-stable, exterior-grade.

A BEAUTIFUL FORM

Our patent-pending ADA process does not use loose beads for Braille, nor rely on imperfect, noncompliant adaings. The result is a breathtaking example of how ADA-compliant signs in the form of a precision-tooled Spike's plaque don’t have to be a distraction from a project’s overall beauty, but instead can enhance it.

LIFETIME GUARANTEE

We have a stringent in-house laboratory testing processes for all metals and paints. Our finishes have withstood thousands of hours’ exposure to salt fog, moisture, heat cycles, and UV light so we can confidently say they’ll last a lifetime.
