Description
Surface applied detectable warning panels are constructed of an exterior-grade, fiberglass polymer composite material making them the perfect solution for retrofitting existing concrete surfaces or new construction. The panels are made of a colorfast and UV-stable homogenous glass and carbon composite with fiberglass truncated domes for enhanced durability. The Surface Applied Tactile is used to retrofit over an existing concrete substrate and can be installed in as little as 10 minutes. No advanced expertise is necessary for secure installation—just follow the step-by-step directions.
This cost-effective surface mounted truncated domes provide safer walkways for pedestrians, including the visually impaired. There’s no need for expensive maintenance, as these detectable warning surfaces are exceptionally durable, even when exposed to harsh weather conditions, and made to last for years.
All of our truncated dome tactile surfaces are in full compliance with the American Disabilities Act Accessibility Guidelines (ADAAG), Public Right-of-Way (PROW), and California Title 24 Requirements.
Municipal governments and local businesses across the country use surface applied detectable warning surfaces to help people navigate sidewalks, ramps, entryways, pedestrian crossings, and transit platforms. These surface applied ADA tiles assure safety and accessibility no matter the location or application. Each tactile system meets all local, state, and federal detectable warning surface requirements, so you never have to worry about compliance issues.

Instructions
- The installation area should be cleaned of all debris, oil, and grease, making sure the area is completely free of moisture. Tactile Panel may be surface mounted on existing pre-cleaned substrate.
- Lay out the Tactile Panel on the substrate as it will appear when installed. If required, the Tactile Panel may be cut using a table saw and marble tipped blade. See web site for more details.
- Place a 3/8” bead of adhesive on the frame of the bottom of each Tactile Panel. Adhesive yield: 10SF per 10 ounce cartridge.
- Set the Tactile Panel in the installation area. Make all necessary adjustments prior to fastening.
- Fasteners shall be installed in pre-formed fastener locations. Holes shall be drilled using a hammer drill with 1/4” x 2” min SDS bits. The drilled holes must be a minimum of 2” deep. Place fasteners in hole and hammer into place. If additional fasteners are required, use a 1/2”, six point, 82 degree countersink to add a new fastener location. Follow the same drilling method for installing the fastener.
- Caulk around perimeter of entire installation using BASF NP1 or equivalent. All concrete dust present on the Tactile Panel resulting from the drilling process must be cleaned off of the Tactile Panel prior to using any caulking materials
