Detectable Warning Pavers Installations

Detectable warning pavers installations are time consuming. Once the concrete is finished, the forms are put in and the concrete is removed, then the form needs to be removed (without ruining the surrounding finish).  Once all this is done you are now ready to actually install the paver.  All this for a product whose material is prone to cracking, becomes slippery when wet (due to a smooth finish and lack of micro-texture) and is heavy and hard to transport. The detectable warning pavers installations are clearly time consuming as well as very labor intensive.

We have an easier to install, more durable solution to detectable warning pavers installations.
The new Advantage-Tile www.advantagetactile.com  can withstand excessive abuse compared to detectable warning pavers installations from heavy truck traffic, snow plows and other non pedestrian abuse ADA Ramps get. Complimentary consultation for new implementation programs of ADA ramps and insight into the specific application requirements is available from the Advantage Tactile Team. I recommend calling to make an appointment and benefit from their extensive experience working with contractors and state and local governments.

In recognizing the need for a tactile detectable warning system that can withstand excessive non-pedestrian abuse (unlike detectable warning pavers installations), the company's research and development team created the Advantage Tile.

A high nickel content stainless steel tile incorporates slip resistant micro-domes into the base surface, eliminating the need for a user to rely solely on the surface coating for slip resistance as in the case of detectable warning pavers installations.

The Advantage Tactile system is far superior in regards to installation and product life cycle compared to detectable warning pavers installations.
