Proper ADA Tile Installation Keeps Your Neighborhood Safe
Detectable warning mats for Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Solutions are government-mandated tactile warning surfaces that alert visually impaired pedestrians of their proximity to street crossings, transit platforms, or hazardous drop-offs. But in order for these tiles to be effective and keep pedestrians safe, they must be properly installed.
ADA Tiles and Detectable warning surfaces can be installed in wet concrete or applied directly to an existing concrete surface with the proper sealant.
Detectable warning products not only keep the visually impaired safe, but also alert distracted pedestrians to an approaching intersection. The usually stainless steel tiles are specially formulated with truncated domes that greatly contrast a sidewalk’s smooth surface. Tiles must be a different color than the surrounding paving surface (per ADA guidelines), making them all but impossible to ignore.
TufTiles, the ADA tiles brand we sell at Ozinga, are ADA-compliant, durable, slip-resistant, and easily replaceable. They are also 100% recyclable and can withstand UV rays, weather and a wide variety of chemicals.
Properly installed detectable warning mats at all intersections keep individuals, their families, and our communities safe.
