Directional Way-Finding

ADA Solutions has set the industry standard for ADA way-finding surfaces for over two decades. We understand and cater to the specific need for Directional Bar and Guide Surface Tiles to guide pedestrians across and around roadways, transit platforms, curb ramps, and other walking surfaces. These ADA-compliant, slip-resistant tactile way-finding surface tiles can be used in both new and existing concrete substrates.

When correctly installed, our tactile way-finding tiles provide easy-to-follow guidance for the visually impaired and other pedestrians who are traversing areas where the proper walking path otherwise may not be readily apparent.

About ADA Solutions’ ADA Directional Way-Finding Surfaces

Directional Way-Finding is provided by means of Directional Bar Tiles in combination with Detectable Warning Surface (Truncated Domes). The Directional Bars provide pathway guidance, while the Detectable Warning Surface indicates a decision point along a path. All of these tactile way-finding surfaces are made from exceptionally durable, UV-stable exterior-grade homogenous glass/carbon/fiberglass-reinforced composite materials. You have your choice of five in-stock colors: Brick Red, Federal Yellow, Dark Gray, White, and Black.

Like all of our detectable warning surfaces, the ADA way-finding tiles available through our company offer a high degree of weather and wear resistance. They are guaranteed against breakage and deformation for five years after the completion of the contract.

These tactile way-finding tiles are available in the following dimensions:

  • Directional bar tile: 6” x 24”; 6” x 48”; 12” x 12”; 12”x24”; 24” x 24”; 40 cm x 40 cm

All Tactile Warning System tiles manufactured by ADA Solutions are designed to be installed on a concrete substrate. We do not recommend installing any of our products into asphalt, nor do we warranty such installations. Please contact us directly and one of our knowledgeable sales staff would be happy to explain an alternate solution.

These tactile paving solutions comply with the requirements of PROWAG, ADAAG, and California Title 24, as well as those enumerated in Division of the State Architect (California) IR 11B-3 (1/26/05) and IR 11B-4 (1/01/11). See the links at the bottom of this page for additional product specifications.

Please note, Tamper-Resistant hardware is available upon request.
