Our innovative curved tactile system is designed to help installers successfully accommodate radius conditions with ease, accuracy, and code compliance. Constructed with the same industry-leading workmanship as our rectangular panels, the Radius Tactile System developed by ADA Solutions is a popular innovation among our quality-conscious contractors, engineers, architects, project managers, and government representatives who need curved detectable warning surfaces for their sites. Use this system with our ADA Radius Calculator to determine accurate panel quantity and cut dimensions for each installation with radius conditions.
What Are Radius Tactile Systems?
Radius Tactile Systems are curved detectable warning panels designed to meet the latest Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) detectable warning surface requirements. Each panel is manufactured from a glass- and carbon-reinforced polyester composite and produced in uniform color for visual consistency.
Domes are arranged in a square grid pattern in accordance with current standards:
-
Truncated dome height: 0.2 in
-
Base diameter: 0.9 in
-
Dome spacing: 1.6 in to 2.4 in (per Federal Code of Regulations)
-
Preferred spacing: 2.35 in center-to-center (horizontal and vertical)
-
Radius SA tiles within standard spacing range require overall dimensions of 24 in × 33.25 in
These raised domes provide tactile feedback to wheelchair users, individuals using walkers or carts, and those who are visually impaired, helping alert them when they are approaching curb edges, ramps, roadways, or other hazard zones.
Why Choose Radius (Curved) Panels
Unlike standard flat panels, radius tactile panels are engineered to follow the contour of curved sidewalk curbs, curb ramps, and transition areas, maintaining continuous detectable warning coverage without gaps.
