Floor Number Signs

Floor Number Signs for New Jersey Stairwells and Elevator Lobbies

Floor number signs tell people which level they are on the moment they step out of a stair or an elevator. We make stairwell floor signs with raised characters and Grade 2 braille, big elevator lobby numbers and floor directories, then install every one with our own crews across New Jersey. We also install in all five boroughs. See our NYC service area.

The Basics

Floor Identification Signs for Every Level

One clear number on every floor, in the same spot, in the same style. That is the whole job of a floor sign, and we make sure it does it.

People read floor signs in a hurry: coming off an elevator, climbing a stair, or heading down in a drill. So we keep them simple. A big number, the stair letter where a building has more than one stair, and raised characters with braille on the sign beside each stair door.

Floor ID signs are usually part of a bigger package. We build them to match the rest of your office signs, so the stairwell looks like it belongs to the same building as the lobby.

Stair doorsFloor number and stair letter beside every stair door.
Elevator lobbiesA big number you can read from inside the cab.
Lower levelsLL, L and B floors named the same way as the rest.
One styleThe same font and finish from the cellar to the top floor.
Placement

Where Stairwell Floor Number Signs Go

One sign on the wall beside every stair door, at the same height on every floor. These are the stair identification signs NJ buildings put at each landing.

  1. 1
    Floor number RaisedUppercase, sans serif characters, 5/8 to 2 in tall.
  2. 2
    Stair letterStair A, B or C when the building has more than one stair.
  3. 3

    Latch side wallMounted on the wall beside the door, on the latch side.
  5. 5
    48 to 60 inLowest tactile baseline at 48 in or more, highest at 60 in or less.

We build the floor signs in the same style as your ADA signs and room signs, made to the 2010 ADA Standards. Your building's code official has the final say.

Floor Level Signs That Match Floor to Floor

A stair that says Floor 2 in one font and Floor 3 in another looks like nobody planned it. We make the whole run at once.

  • Floor signs, stair signs and room signs come from the same file, so the font, color and braille match.
  • Lower levels and cellars get the same look: LL, L or B.
  • Every sign goes up at the same height, so people find it in the same spot on each landing.
  • Need one more floor or a changed name later? We make it from the same file.

Floor signs are one stop on the route. For arrows and hallway signs see wayfinding signs, and for posted evacuation plans see egress maps.

From Shop to Wall

FAQs

Floor Number Sign Questions

Straight answers to what New Jersey buildings ask about floor and stair signs.

What goes on a floor number sign?

The floor number, and the stair letter when a building has more than one stair. Stairwell signs add raised characters and Grade 2 braille.

Do floor signs need braille?

Signs that name stairs and other permanent spaces need raised characters and Grade 2 braille under the 2010 ADA Standards. A big number in an elevator lobby is there to be read from a distance. Your building's code official has the final say.

How high do you mount them?

Tactile characters sit between 48 in and 60 in above the floor, measured to the baselines. We mount every floor at the same height.

Which side of the door does the sign go on?

On the wall beside the door, on the latch side. We check each door on the survey before anything is drilled.

What are floor number signs made of?

Acrylic is the most common. We also make them in aluminum and brushed or polished metal, in any color, with a non glare face.

Can you match the signs we already have?

Yes. Send a photo of a current stair or room sign and we match the font, color and size for the new floors.

How much do floor number signs cost?

It depends on how many floors and stairs you have, the material, the braille and the install. A floor count and a photo of one stair door are enough to start a quote.

Do you install floor number signs in New York City?

Yes. We make and install floor number signs and stairwell signs in NYC, in all five boroughs. See our NYC service area.
