ADA Tiles, Detectable Warning Mat, DIY Retrofit Model, per sq ft

1 foot square Surface Applied, Retrofit ADA Tiles are engineered to successfully upgrade any existing surface to comply with Federally mandated detectable warning requirements. Standard Colors are Federal Yellow, Colonial Red (red-brown), Brick Red (bright red), Dark Gray, and Black. Made in the U.S.A. Build your own configuration based on your space and the number of tiles required.

Surface Applied tiles are installed on top of existing cured concrete surfaces where the implementation of a tactile detectable warning is required. Tile installation includes the use of our Tactile Bond and surface applied adhesive along with tamper proof stainless-steel Axius® Fasters for long-term durability. The Surface Applied tile offers a simple, more cost-effective alternative to wet set Cast in Place tiles; when the only requirement is to include ADA compliant tiles on an existing concrete surface where all other accessibility requirements are present. Surface Applied tiles can be easily cut, allowing the installer flexibility when dealing with unforeseen site conditions; cutting the tiles does not void the warranty.
Surface Applied tiles make sidewalk tile installation a breeze.

ADA Compliant Detectable Warning Tiles

• 2.35" center-to-center, in-line dome spacing meets ADA Federal and most state requirements
• Truncated dome size and spacing compliant with ADA Federal and State requirements, 0.9" base and 0.45" top diameter
• Fully complies with all ADA and OHSA requirements for surface height transitions to eliminate trip hazards
• Consistent dome spacing when tiles are adjoined (side-by-side or end-to-end)
• Wide in-line dome configuration facilitates a smooth rolling transition for strollers, wheelchairs and walkers

Intelligent Design Features

• Audible detectable warning technology engineered for sound amplification
• Engineered to transfer loads directly through domes and into substrate, minimizing the possibility of damage
• Beveled perimeter edge meets ADA vertical displacement requirements
• Strategically placed pre-formed fastener hole locations enhance installation integrity and provide easy installation
• Tiles shipped with color-matched fasteners
• Adhesive location identified on reverse side of tile for easy, error-free installation
• Tactile Bond/Sealant is available through all our authorized distributors. The system is designed and tested to be both a structural adhesive and perimeter edge sealant.
• Interactive sizes - all tiles maintain pattern repeat when mounted side-to-side or top-to-bottom

Access® Tile is the world leader in ADA compliant truncated dome and wayfinding detectable warning tiles. This achievement is a result of progressive product development based on extensive market feedback from accessibility professionals, specifiers, installers and end users over the past 30 years. Our unparalleled industry experience allows us to incorporate the most current material and manufacturing technologies to develop a cost-effective yet durable detectable warning tile that installs with ease. We offer multiple configurations of detectability products to ensure each installation is compliant with federal and local requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Our detectable warning systems easily fit into any area which is required to have truncated dome installations. Detectable warning panels serve as a distinctive warning for individuals with visual impairments. The truncated dome pattern carefully placed on detectable warning panels alert individuals of potential dangers, such as street crossings and curb drop-offs. Every tactile paving tile we produce complies with the ISO9000 manufacturing standards and commitment to quality.

What are the ADA Regulations?

All Access® Tile truncated dome tiles are explicitly designed to be compliant with all ADA regulations. The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) became law in 1990, and recognizes the rights of all persons, regardless of ability, in every area of daily public life. This act was created to fight discrimination of disabled persons within society, specifically when it comes to transportation, employment, and all areas accessible to the general public. Due to legislation, infrastructure, and development codes at the time, many American citizens did not have equal access to all spaces. Thanks to the ADA standards, this is in the process of changing.

One of these standards calls for the installation of truncated dome tiles in any pedestrian space open to the public; including walkways, transitional spaces, transit platforms, vehicular parking garages, and more. The ADA states, to be compliant, each detectable warning tile must adhere to stringent size and spacing specifications. All ADA warning tiles must contrast with the adjacent walkway, as well as meet numerous measurement specific standards. In addition to the Federal ADA standards Access®Tile complies with the California Title 24 Requirements, and the Public Right-of-Way (PROW).
