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.
  

Installation Instructions

1. Confirm that the concrete substrate is in full compliance with Federal, State, local standards, building codes, project plans and specifications, prior to installation of Sandbaggy panel.
2. Installation surface area must be cleaned of debris, dust, oil and grease, making sure the area is completely free of surface moisture. It’s recommended to use a diamond cup grinder, pressure shot-blaster or (at a minimum) use a wire brush to remove any dirt or foreign material. 
3. Lay out the panel on the concrete substrate and mark around the panel corners with a pencil to identify the designated installation location. (Not recommended or warranted for asphalt installations) 
4. Remove the panel from the marked installation area, flip over and apply a continuous bead of NP-1 adhesive to the back of the panel approximately ¾” from the edge following the scored perimeter and center cross pattern.
5. Place panel in marked installation area. Make necessary adjustments prior to fastening. Standing on the panel using a hammer drill with a 5/16” carbide tipped bit, drill a hole a minimum of 2” deep. Clean drilling debris from holes.
6. Begin in the middle, then work your way towards the edges, inserting anchors and #14 stainless screws into the pre-formed countersunk fastener locations. Using a #3 square head bit, apply downward pressure with a screw gun, press until the anchor goes through the panel and is flush with the surface of the concrete substrate. Tighten the screw until the screw is in full contact with the countersunk fastener surface of the panel.
7. Following panel installation, caulk around the perimeter of the panel with NP1 or equivalent. Blend and taper the caulking smooth around the perimeter in a cove profile between tile and adjacent concrete substrate. 

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.
