Why Use and Iron Tactile Warning Surface?
Our iron panels provide a tactile warning surface that is effective and durable. Unlike our other detectable warning panels, our iron tactile system does not come in a choice of colors. It’s designed to be installed as is. Each unit provides enough contrast with the surrounding pavement while being extremely durable and resistant to severe weather conditions. Extreme temperatures, snow, and salt will not affect the iron material (ASTM A159 G3000 cast iron).
Long-lasting, the panels are installed so construction crews and businesses do not have to replace them often. They provide lasting safety for the visually impaired who use canes to detect the tactile and auditory cues of the ADA detectable warning surface. People who use wheelchairs, walkers, or strollers receive useful feedback, as well, so they are aware of their location related to the designated walking path and the street.
