Detectable Warning Surfaces
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
