ADA Compliant Truncated Domes
Our ADA compliant truncated domes are designed to ensure safety and accessibility for all pedestrians. These ADA pads, measuring 12" x 24" x 1/2" and weighing 5.2 lbs each, provide essential tactile ground surface indicators that comply with ADA regulations. Ideal for installation on dry concrete, these ADA mats are used to create a detectable boundary between pedestrian walkways and vehicular traffic areas. Sandbaggy ADA warning pads have a max UV protection for an extended life under the sun.

Features
- ADA Warning Pads: These 1' x 2' truncated domes are specifically designed to meet ADA standards and ensure compliance with federal and state regulations. The pads feature 2" center-to-center in-line dome spacing, each with a 1-1/4" base and 1" top diameter.
- Surface Mount Installation: Our ADA mats are easily installed using anchors and sealants (not included), securing the pads firmly to the ground. The pre-formed fastener locations on the tiles enable error-free installation, providing a durable and reliable solution.
- Better Slip and Impact Resistance Than Composites: ADA Warning Pads ensure enhanced safety and durability. These pads provide a reliable solution for high-traffic areas where this type of resistance is crucial.
- Complies with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA): Features tactile warning surfaces that meet the detectable warnings on walking surfaces requirements of the ADA. Enhance accessibility and safety for everyone with our compliant and reliable tactile surfaces.
- MAX UV Protection for extended life under the sun.
Compliance and Application
- These ADA warning pads fully comply with ADA requirements for surface height transitions, eliminating trip hazards and ensuring a smooth rolling transition for all users.
- These ADA mats are suitable for use in various locations, including ramps, stairs, curb cutouts, and along paths of travel. They provide essential tactile feedback for visually impaired pedestrians and alert all users to changes in surface levels or potential hazards.
- Please consult local and state regulations, as specific requirements, such as those outlined in California Title 24, may apply. California, for example, requires a minimum 3-foot dimension and safety yellow color for truncated domes. Always check with local access compliance agencies before purchasing ADA signs or products to ensure full compliance with regulations.
FAQ
What are ADA warning pads and why are they important?
ADA warning pads, also known as detectable warning surfaces, are textured ground surfaces designed to alert visually impaired pedestrians of potential hazards. These pads ensure safety, signaling environmental changes such as street crossings, transit platform edges, and hazardous vehicular ways.
Where are ADA warning pads typically installed?
ADA warning pads are typically installed in locations where there is a transition between pedestrian and vehicular areas or where there are potential safety risks. Common installation sites include curb ramps, the edges of transit platforms, pedestrian crossings, etc.
Are ADA warning pads required by law?
Yes, ADA warning pads are required by law under the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The ADA mandates that public and private facilities ensure accessibility for individuals with disabilities, including installing detectable warning surfaces in specific locations.
What materials are ADA warning pads made from?
ADA warning pads are made from various durable materials designed to withstand heavy foot traffic and environmental conditions. Common materials include cast iron, stainless steel, composites, polymer concrete, and high-density polyethylene (HDPE).
How do ADA warning pads help individuals with visual impairments?
ADA warning pads assist individuals with visual impairments by providing a tactile surface that can be detected using a cane or underfoot. The raised, truncated domes on the pads create a recognizable texture, alerting users to changes, such as approaching street crossings, platform edges, etc.
