Armor-Tile Tactile Tile Surface Applied Systems and Detectable Warning Systems
In order to smooth the transition to ADA compliance, the installation techniques of tactile tile and detectable warning systems have to be quick, easy, and budget-friendly -- three facts of which Armor-Tile is well aware.
This video uses 3-D animation to illustrate the surface applied tactile tile installation technique. When upgrading an already existing concrete surface to include tactile tile and detectable warning systems, the surface applied technique is a quick and easy way to increase detectability, decrease liability, and make sidewalks and other pedestrian areas safe, sound and inclusive.
Armor-Tile Tactile Tile Surface Applied Systems and Detectable Warning Systems Video
The video walks you through the steps of applying detectable warning systems to pre-existing concrete surfaces. From the preliminary placing and tracing of the tactile tile in the designated area, to applying perimeter sealant and cleaning up the area around the installed detectable warning systems, each step is thoroughly explained and the video takes great care to include all of the tips that could easily be overlooked when it comes to installation time.
With both adhesive and fastening bolts used to secure the surface applied tactile tile to the sidewalk, there is no tripping hazard and the lifespan of the detectable warning systems are increased with the reduced chances of wear and tear. Surface applied tactile tile is not a temporary fix for a long-term issue, rather a budget and maintenance-friendly solution to federally regulated requirements.
With the optimally engineered material and fully explained hassle-free installation technique, surface applied tactile tile will work great today, tomorrow, and well into the future.
