Armor-Tile, suppliers of ADA detectable strips - Surface Applied Animation Video

Armor-Tile, one of the leading suppliers of ADA detectable strips and tiles, is so proud of their product, you’ll find the Armor-Tile name etched on the side of every tactile panel they manufacture.  Featuring a bevelled edge, to comply with Americans with Disabilities (ADA) regulations for panels that could cause tripping, the full line of Armor-Tile detectable warning systems can be installed easily by following these steps, further illustrated in the video:

  • Trace the perimeter
  • Prepare the concrete with a mini grinder to remove impurities
  • Clean and prepare the tiles, also removing impurities from the back and sides
  • Apply adhesive around the perimeter edge, being careful not to fill the inside back of the domes, as this will breach the effectiveness of the domes’ auditory alert
  • Press tile firmly into place and drill fastener holes into the concrete
  • When installing fasteners, a plastic deadblow or leather hammer is recommended to minimize damage to the tile
  • Mask the tile perimeter
  • Apply sealant and smooth it out with a trowel or spatula
  • Remove masking tape immediately after tooling sealant

As one of the leading suppliers of ADA detectable strips, Armor-Tile is keen on providing the necessary resources and support for their customers to make informed decisions.
