Phenolic (photo-polymer) materials were amongst the first to be used in the manufacture of ADA compliant sign systems. It is perhaps the simplest and least costly way of providing the raised characters and Class II Braille requirements spelled out for ADA signs. The material is easy to work with and is available in both an interior and exterior grade. Phenolic signs easily accept paint products, silk screening and other production techniques. The base material is also available in a transparent form if desired.

Phenolic ADA signs are quite popular with architects and building owners looking for a simple and inexpensive means for achieving ADA compliance. They can be designed to include changeable insert slots for names, titles and other copy that might be subject to change during the life of the sign. These insert slots make it possible to alter the contents of a sign face while not requiring the purchase of an entirely new sign.

Phenolic materials are a very good choice for those looking for a "middle of the road" level sign package. It is a far better choice than "mail order" injection molded plastic. However, those desiring a more elaborate and higher end signage might prefer opting for some of our more design friendly product lines such as Vista.
