An entire sign or just the sign face or edge can be painted. Applying paint to only the edges of signs is a great way to “hide” plywood layers or incorporate branding and design elements into your signs. For best results, we recommend painting all of a given plane of a sign.
Include the following specification notes when you choose paint for your custom ADA signs:
There are many easy machining options for custom wood signs. 
These custom room signs show how simple lines, either as a v-channel or inlaid slate, can create a balanced, elegant look. 
Folded plastic plates – The most cost effective option, folded plates may have a painted opaque back or be clear. A folded over piece of plastic holds 
Wood has excellent structural integrity. This means multiple layer custom signs that combine wood species or alternate materials are possible.
Real wood custom ADA signs are the most sustainable ADA compliant office signs available for businesses and commercial buildings. To learn more about what makes our wood signs eco-friendly and how signage can contribute to certified USGBC LEED and ILFI Living Building Challenge buildings go to our 
DURABLE CUSTOM WOOD SIGNS
Today the majority of traditional, plastic tactile braille signs rely on adhesive to hold together plastic layers of different colors. Usually there’s a back substrate, and a top layer from which letters and pictograms are cut. This method works well in many situations, however, a lot of ADA signs end up missing braille or letters. If using materials with different rates of thermal and hygroscopic expansion then product failure becomes a “when” not “if”.
Risk of adhesive failure was especially true for wooden ADA signs. Using traditional methods, wood had to be “plasticized” with layers of coatings in order for adhesives to bond well. This process was both costly and inconsistent.
Green Dot Sign® wooden ADA signs are different because of our new, patent pending 3D printing process.
3D printing process – Via our manufacturing process 3D printed material directly bonds to the wood sign base. A special layer highly receptive to 3D printed “inks” bonds with the topmost wood fibers of the sign blank. The raised characters are made directly on this topmost wood fiber matrix.
No adhesives – Our custom wood signs don’t rely on adhesive to hold plastic and wood together, so braille and other tactile content are vandal resistant than traditional plastic ADA signs and last longer.
Industry best warranty – Most Green Dot Sign custom wood signs come with an industry best warranty.
These room number signs contain brass numbers and clear 3D printed braille on a walnut sign base with a shallow edge chamfer.
