Intelligently Designed ADA Compliant Tiles

Since the 1990s, the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) has made tactile paving a requirement in areas where a pedestrian walkway intersects with a hazardous vehicular way. Typical applications of truncated dome tiles include transit stations, curb ramps, and pedestrian crossings. Tactile Services, LLC has the largest selection of affordable, long-lasting ADA compliant tiles, specially designed for versatility. We offer detectable warning pavers in both Surface Applied tile and Replaceable Cast in Place tile varieties. Each tactile paving tile is covered by a 5-year warranty. Tactile Services provides industry leading detectable warning products to meet all of your project requirements.

Surface Applied Retrofit

Surface Applied truncated dome tiles are a low-cost ADA tile surface upgrade compared to removing and replacing the existing concrete transition and installing a wet set cast in place system. These detectable warning products are made to retrofit into an existing concrete surface where ADA regulation compliance is required. A combination of TBS adhesive, Axius® anchors and tamper-proof stainless-steel pins allow our Surface Applied tiles to retrofit into an existing concrete surface.

These tactile walking surface indicators (TWSI) are available in both wayfinding directional tiles and truncated dome configurations.

The retrofit ADA tile installation method makes Surface Applied tiles the ideal choice for updating an existing area. The Surface Applied tiles are also completely replaceable and can be installed or replaced in minutes, making it one of the best choices for detectable warning products.

The Power Of Intelligent Design and Precision Engineering

The result of 25 years of innovation

Tamper-proof, countersunk, stainless-steel fastener sits flush with tile surface and makes for easy replaceability in the future.

High density, diamond grip™ pyramid micro texture designed for exceptional slip resistance in wet and dry conditions.

Nylon composite, corrosion resistant anchor and stainless-steel tamper-proof fastener provide unlimited re-installation due to self-threading design.

Tile geometry maintains consistent dome spacing between adjoining Replaceable Cast in Place and Surface Applied tiles.

Hexagonal molded forms for a permanent interface between tile and anchor system. Fastener/anchor system comes pre-assembled.

Reinforced top and bottom flange determined by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) generates enhanced stiffness and structural support.

Pre-formed fastener locations enable error-free installation of our tactile floor tiles. Color-matched Axius® Fasteners with tamper-proof stainless-steel pins are supplied with tile.

Strategically placed reinforcing internal ribs determined by Finite Element Analysis (FEA) generates enhanced stiffness and structural support.

The perimeter of tile is beveled to meet ADA requirements for surface height transition.

Open end design eliminates air entrapment during installation to ensure full interface with concrete substructure.

Proven Performance

The rigger of unparalleled testing procedures

Accelerated Aging, Freeze-Thaw Chamber: Extreme heat and freezing cycles test structural integrity in all climates while integral loading cylinders stress tile throughout temperature cycles to validate durability of our detectable warning products.

Taber Abrasion ASTM C 501: Measures the wear resistance of tile to ensure years of maintenance-free service.

Tensile Strength ASTM D 638: Engineering analysis calculates required strengths when exposed to externally applied forces, such as foot traffic and moving vehicles.

Gardner Abrasion ASTM D 2486: Additional wear test standard to ensure durability in high foot traffic areas of our detectable warning products.

Compressive Strength ASTM D 695: Measures compressive strength to meet AASHTO standards developed to determine the resistance of vehicular loading.

Slip Resistance ASTM C 1028: Measures slip resistance to meet ADA and OSHA standards in both wet and dry conditions.

Flexural Strength ASTM D 695: Measures flexural properties of material required to analyze the strength necessary to resist repetitive applied forces.
