Detectable Directional Applications
Armor-Tile® Detectable Directional Tiles have been providing clear tactile directions to the visually impaired community at private and public facilities across the United States for years – continuing our goal of making America a more accessible country one project at a time. The innovative designs of our tactile warning systems provide exactly the detectable warning required so the visually impaired community can have unimpeded access to the world.
As opposed to truncated domes, which provide an alert intended to stop a person in their tracks, Armor-Tile® Detectable Directional Tiles feature wayfinding bar tiles that provide a clear tactile message intended to direct pedestrians in a certain direction.
Our Detectable Directional Tiles can be used for the following applications and many more:
- Pedestrian Crossings
- ADA Curb Ramps
- Vehicular Passageways
- Escalator Approaches
- Parking Areas
- Multi Modal Transit Stations
- Transit Platforms
- Top of Stair Landings and Wheelchair Ramps
ADA Compliance
Armor-Tile®’s team of engineers has designed our Detectable Directional Tiles to be in full compliance and often exceed ADA and state regulations as well as performance tests. We are your one stop shop for ADA compliant detectable and tactile warning systems that are guaranteed to fulfill all your accessibility needs; both indoor and outdoor.
On top of our incredible Detectable Direction wayfinding bar tiles, Armor-Tile® is proud to offer a wide range of other ADA solutions designed and produced with accessibility, safety, and ADA compliance in mind. Help Armor-Tile® make the world more accessible.
Safe and Durable Detectable Directional
This detectable warning product is industry-leading in its density, durability, strength, and weather and wear resistance due to the innovative and diamond-hard vitrified polymer composite we manufacture our tiles out of. Our tactile paving wayfinding tiles pass every performance test with flying colors due to this material and our innovative design. These tests include the ASTM D638 for tensile strength, the ASTM D790 for flexural strength, the ASTM D696 for coefficient of thermal expansion, and the AASHTO HS20-44 for Wheel Load Tests – a strict test that requires our tiles to sustain 10,410 pounds.
