COMPANY OVERVIEW

Our lineup of superior quality, heavy duty fiberglass polymer composite detectable warning surface tiles are manufactured in a state of the art ISO 9002 certified facility located in Northeast Ohio. Having an ISO 9002 facility allows us to provide our customers and business partners with superior products; through a sophisticated quality management system from start to finish. ADA Solutions' products are UV stable with homogeneous color throughout the entire panel.

Our panels contain premium quality long strand fiberglass in the base material. During the sheet molding process the fiberglass is blended into the base material during the mixing process and evenly disbursed throughout the entire body of the panel and into the truncated domes we all recognize. This is a critical feature because the truncated domes are the primary point of contact to us as we walk, and are subjected to the highest degree of exposure to foot traffic, rolling apparatus, and street cleaning equipment.

Radius Tactile Systems  

Our innovative curved tactile system is designed to help installers successfully accommodate radius conditions with ease, accuracy, and code compliance. Constructed with the same industry-leading workmanship as our rectangular panels, the Radius Tactile System developed by ADA Solutions is a popular innovation among our quality-conscious contractors, engineers, architects, project managers, and government representatives who need curved detectable warning surfaces for their sites. Use this system with our ADA Radius Calculator to determine accurate panel quantity and cut dimensions for each installation with radius conditions.

WHAT ARE RADIUS TACTILE SYSTEMS?

Each tactile panel is a detectable warning tile that meets the detectable warning surface requirements of the latest Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) standards. Each is of a uniform color and made of a glass and carbon-reinforced polyester composite material. Per current standards, domes are arranged in a square grid pattern. These raised truncated domes are 0.2" in height, with a base diameter of 0.9", and spaced at 1.6" to 2.4" apart per the Federal Code of Regulations.

The pattern provides a wheelchair or walker user with tactile feedback. For optimal results, a 2.35" horizontal and vertical center-to-center dome spacing is preferred. Radius SA tile in the standard dome spacing range is required to have dimensions of 24" x 33.25".

The difference between our standard panels and radius (curved) solutions is the ability to follow the contour of sidewalk curbs, curb ramps, and other surfaces. Individuals using a wheelchair, walker, or shopping cart, or anyone who is visually impaired will feel the curved truncated domes. The tangible feedback from these tactile warning surfaces notifies them they're close to the edge of a roadway, for example, where traffic or other dangers may be.

FEATURES AND ADVANTAGES:

  • Ideally engineered for applications where radius conditions are 6' to 22'

  • No cutting required where radius = 11' to 13'

  • Pre-scored for 10', 15', and 20' radius

  • Cut to fit within minutes

  • High degree of slip resistance and UV stability

Like the surface applied tiles and other warning systems available through our website, these ADA graphic tiles are designed to provide a high level of resistance to common environmental stressors. They have been thoroughly tested to ensure compliance with various ASTM standards, including but not limited to abrasion resistance, tensile strength, load bearing, freeze/thaw/heat resistance, salt and spray resistance, chemical stain resistance, water absorption, and slip resistance. They are easy to install in curb ramps, parking areas, and similar places where these kinds of detectable warnings can be seen by pedestrians.

Apart from these standard features, ADA Solutions' replaceable graphic warning tiles can be customized with an image or message of your choosing. Custom graphics and messages provide visual information to indicate boundaries (“Do Not Enter"), convey instructions to pedestrians (“Yield to Traffic"), specify areas reserved for people with disabilities, advertise a local business, or communicate other pertinent messages. The graphics will not become marred or worn away from foot traffic or harsh weather conditions.

Furthermore, our ADA graphic warning tiles are fully replaceable. You can easily swap out an old or damaged tile for a new version, without needing to disturb the surrounding concrete. What's more, the replacement process takes only a few minutes, so it isn't necessary to block off the area for an extended period. Your new ADA graphic floor tiles will be open to foot traffic as soon as they are in place.
