Restroom Signs
Restroom signs help occupants and visitors quickly identify washroom facilities while supporting intuitive wayfinding throughout a building. They are used to identify men's, women's, all-gender, universal and accessible washrooms in commercial buildings, offices, schools, healthcare facilities, hotels, apartment buildings and other public spaces. Depending on the building type and jurisdiction, restroom signs may also be required to meet accessibility standards. In Ontario, barrier-free washrooms must be identified in accordance with the Ontario Building Code, with tactile information meeting the applicable requirements referenced through CSA B651. Projects in the United States may instead require ADA-compliant restroom signage. Selecting the appropriate AODA- or ADA-compliant restroom signage, where applicable, helps improve accessibility, support code compliance and create a consistent wayfinding system throughout the facility. Safety Media offers a comprehensive selection of restroom signs to suit virtually any commercial, institutional or multi-residential facility. Our range includes men's, women's, all-gender, universal and accessible washroom signs, available in standard, AODA-compliant and ADA-compliant designs, along with projecting signs for improved visibility, and emergency call system sign for universal washrooms. Manufactured in a variety of materials, colours and finishes, our restroom signs are suitable for new construction, renovations, accessibility upgrades and replacement projects, with custom options available to match your building's design and project requirements.
Restroom Signs FAQ
Where should a tactile washroom sign be installed?
Where the Ontario Building Code requires a tactile information sign, Article 3.8.3.1.(7)(b) requires it to be installed on the wall closest to the latch side of the door. If there is no wall at the latch side, the sign is installed on the nearest wall to the right of the door. Under Clause 3.8.3.1.(7)(c), the sign is centred 1,500 mm above the finished floor, with its edge located no more than 300 mm from the door. Projecting and directional signs may be added to improve visibility from corridors or intersections, but they serve a different purpose from the required tactile identification beside the doorway. Projects outside Ontario should follow the governing building code or approved project specification.
