4 Facts About Detectable Warning Tiles

Detectable warning tiles play a critical role in providing safety and accessibility to individuals with disabilities. Here are four facts about detectable warning tiles that will help you understand their importance:

• They Are Durable: Detectable warning tiles are made out of glass and carbon composite. Often, they are reinforced with fiberglass. This combination of materials makes them resistant to UV ray damage and temperature changes. This means you don’t have to worry about spending large sums of money on maintenance in the long run. Detectable warning tiles are specially designed to be able to withstand the elements without warping, cracking, or otherwise becoming damaged. Detectable warning tiles will hold up like concrete and asphalt.

• They Help All Pedestrians: Although detectable warning tiles are primarily meant to increase access for individuals who have disabilities, they improve access for the whole community. Whether you are pushing a stroller, riding a bike, or simply taking a stroll, detectable warning tiles will notify you of potential hazards. This is particularly true on transit platform edges.
• They Are Critical for ADA Compliance: The American with Disabilities Act defines guidelines that are meant to provide equal access to individuals with disabilities. Part of ensuring compliance includes the installation of detectable warning tiles in certain areas. This list includes areas like platform edges, crosswalks, and sidewalk ramps.
