DETECTABLE WARNINGS MAT is a unique system designed for
compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirement
for a tactile warning system for the blind and visually impaired.
DETECTABLE WARNINGS MAT is a permanent mat that is applied
directly to clean dry surfaces with a special long-lasting adhesive.
The application is achieved without the need of specialized labor or
machinery. It is very user-friendly and comparatively inexpensive.
DETECTABLE WARNING MAT is a single piece, 2'x2' domed mat,
molded in resilient rubber. The mats come pre-coated with 3 coats of
Durabak, our unique slip-resistant, flexible polyurethane safety
coating. The bottom of the mat contains a patent-pending adhesive
locking system. The mat easily conforms to any shape simply by cutting
it with scissors. The mat with Durabak coats is approximately 1/8"
thick. The truncated domes are positioned to ADA specifications on the
mat and are encapsliated by the Durabak coating.

DETECTABLE WARNING MAT enjoys all of the unique characteristics
of its major component, Durabak: It is extremely durable, flexible,
waterproof, anti-corrosive, chemical resistant and slip resistant, even
when wet. The mats are available in the 15 Durabak colors (see color
chart).
DETECTABLE WARNING MAT fits best on flat surfaces but can also
be applied to surfaces with slight irregliarities. The mat facilitates
a virtually falitless application.
DETECTABLE WARNING MAT is flexible and resilient as specified by
ADA. It cleans easily with household detergents or degreasers.
DETECTABLE WARNING MAT costs less than other because it
is not labor intensive. Just clean the area per our instructions and
glue on the mats (special glue included). It eliminates the need for
re-working the concrete!
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS
- Clean back side of mats with rubbing alcohol and let dry. Lay mats
on a flat surface away from the installation site. If necessary bend
the mats to make them lie flat.
- Clean the surface using a pressure wash of at least 2500 psi. If
there is gum or other contaminants on the surface clean with a clean
wire brush. Alternatively, new concrete will require only a citric
cleaner application. Agitate with a deck brush, rinse off thoroughly
and dry thoroughly.
- Place mats onto the application surface.
- Mask off the area around the mats with a good quality duct tape.
Duct tape bonds better to concrete than regliar masking tape.
- Remove the mats from the working area remembering the exact position
that they were in.
- Place the adhesive in the caulk gun, cut off 1/4" to 1/2" of the
plastic tip and pierce the inner seal of the caulk tube.
- Squeeze out a large bead of adhesive on one half of the surface.
- Using a serrated trowel, spread the adhesive to cover the entire
masked off surface, paying particliar attention to making sure that the
perimeter of the area is covered right up to the duct taped edges. 1
1/4 tube covers 4 square feet.
- Carefully place the mats back in their original position on the
surface making sure that they are not overlapping the duct tape.
- Lay a small, flat board (1 square foot or smaller) on top of the
domes and press down firmly. Move the board around making sure that all
areas of each mat have been pressed down. Use the end of the board or
another board to press all areas in between the domes. Work from the
center out and pay particliar attention to pressing down all areas
around the outside perimeter.
- Remove any excess adhesive with a rag wet with xylene.
- Let adhesive dry for at least 6 hours before allowing foot traffic.
