As someone who is able to see, you may be unaware what truncated domes are and what they offer to those with vision problems. However, you likely see truncated domes every day when you walk down the street.

The fact of the matter is that the term, “truncated domes,” isn’t exactly self-explanatory. In effect, however, truncated dome tiles are an extremely common and useful type of detectable warning surface — specifically designed for those who are visually impaired or blind. They feature a uniform textured pattern of raised domes atop an otherwise flat foundation and they notify those with vision problems to stop or slow down.

As a business owner, you should have truncated dome tiles at strategic locations on your property. Here’s what you need to know about this form of detectable warning surface.

#1 – Truncated dome tiles are like stop signs for the blind and visually impaired.

When someone with vision problems approaches a surface with truncated domes, their feet/shoes or probing cane will notice the telltale pattern and warn them that someone hazardous is ahead. This may be a street intersection, a water feature such as a fountain or reflecting pool, or a drop off near the train tracks. Those with vision have stop signs for this. The vision impaired have truncated dome tiles.

#2 – There are two main ways to install truncated dome tiles.

As a business owner, you can choose between two types of installation processes. First, there are cast-in-place tiles. These tiles are installed much like regular ceramic tiles in that they are set in place after walkway cement has been poured and leveled and is still wet.

The other type of installation process involves simply applying the tiles on top of an already established walkway. You’ll need to make sure that the surface is free from debris, dirt, and grease, and then the tiles can be put on top of your walkway surface and drilled into place with fasteners.

#3 – In addition to being raised, truncated dome tiles must also be of a contrasting color.

Truncated don’t tiles aren’t just for those who are completely blind. They also help those who are visually impaired or who have low visibility. For this reason, they must be of a contrasting color to the rest of the pavement or walkway. You will notice that many tiles on federal public property are yellow. But bright orange tiles other colors are also common.

Finding a Trustworthy Detectable Warning Surface Expert

Companies, businesses, and organizations should do their utmost to enhance the safety and wellbeing of their customers, patrons, and other visitors. In this way, truncated dome tiles become absolutely essential for these locations.

If you are interested in implementing truncated dome tiles into your property or business location, you need a reputable and experienced detectable warning expert to help you find the optimal product for your location and meet Americans With Disabilities Act guidelines. ADA Solutions provides detectable warning surfaces to any business or organization — private or public. Contact them today to learn more about your options where truncated dome tiles are concerned.
