When it comes to safety and accessibility, being the absolute standard in detectable warning tile just isn't enough for this company.

As you can see in the continuous innovation video, Armor-Tile and Engineered Plastics are constantly striving to better their products to make every street corner, crosswalk, and rail platform as durable, reliable, and hazard-free as possible with their always-improving detectable warning tile.

Armor-Tile Detectable Warning Tile - Continuous Innovation

“We’re not just at the curve where we’re following the state of the art,” said Ken Szekely, President. “Quite often in our industry we’re advancing the state of the art.”

Since it was over 15 years ago that the 1990 Americans with Disabilities Act passed and detectable warning tile became the safety surface standard for the visually impaired, Armor-Tile takes great care to visit installation sites around the United States to check up on the quality of their tactile tiles.

Leaders in innovation, Armor-Tile has already created a detectable warning tile that combines reliability, durability, slip-resistance, weather resistance, and UV protected color contrast to provide a safe walkway for every pedestrian, including the visually, physically, and mentally impaired as well as overburdened parents with small children, and people who are just too distracted or hurried to pay full attention to their surroundings.

Armor-Tile detectable warning tile combine flexile and tensile strength to stand up to years and years of use and abuse, including the traffic of electric wheelchairs and other motor vehicles. Combine all of that with its budget and maintenance friendly characteristics and detectable warning tile seem like the perfect safety solution.

That doesn’t matter to Armor-Tile, however, who will continue to try to improve on their optimally designed detectable warning tile.
