Detectable Warning Surfaces
No Bloom, No Crack, No Fade Polymer ADA Tiles
No Bloom, No Crack, No Fade Polymer ADA Tiles
TufTile® wet-set detectable warning tiles deliver the best UV-stable polymer tiles in the ADA surfaces industry. Made of advanced proprietary polymers, our tiles will not bloom, crack, or fade. The flat-back design minimizes trapped air between the tile and concrete, eliminating voids for water to collect. Engineered to endure high-volume foot traffic, the molded in-line truncated domes provide a compliant transition from surrounding surfaces. The unique anchor design holds tiles and wedges securely to fresh concrete.

FAQs About Polymer Wet-Set Detectable Warning Tiles
Polymer wet-set detectable warning tiles provide a lightweight, durable option for installation in fresh concrete. TufTile polymer tiles feature homogeneous color throughout the material and are engineered for UV stability, helping maintain their appearance in outdoor environments.
Their low weight can also make polymer tiles easier to ship, handle, and position during installation compared with heavier metal alternatives.
Polymer wet-set detectable warning tiles are installed directly into freshly poured concrete. Anchoring features on the underside of the tile become embedded in the concrete as it cures, securing the detectable warning surface in place.
Wet-set installation is generally suited to new construction and projects where existing concrete is being replaced. Installers should follow TufTile’s current product-specific instructions for concrete preparation, tile placement, finishing, and curing.
TufTile polymer detectable warning tiles weigh approximately 1.8 pounds per square foot, making polymer the lightest of TufTile’s detectable warning tile materials.
The lower weight can simplify shipping, handling, and installation, particularly on larger projects. By comparison, TufTile also offers heavier galvanized steel and cast iron options for projects with different material and performance requirements.
Yes. TufTile polymer detectable warning tiles feature homogeneous color throughout the material, rather than relying on a surface coating to provide their color.
This means the tile retains the same base color beneath its surface. TufTile polymer tiles are also engineered for UV stability for long-term outdoor exposure.
The primary difference is how and when they are installed. Polymer wet-set tiles are embedded into fresh concrete, while polymer surface-applied tiles are fastened over an existing suitable surface.
Wet-set polymer is generally appropriate for new concrete construction or concrete replacement, while surface-applied polymer can be a practical option for retrofit projects where the existing substrate will remain.
The EasyArc® Radius Calculator from TufTile quickly identifies the radius size closest to your project plans and creates a site-specific illustration with bill of materials.
Tiles and wedges are arranged side-by-side to form up to 20 radius configurations ranging from 9R to 70R. Don’t overcomplicate, just calculate with EasyArc.
