Prepare area and slope where detectable warnings will be placed. |
|
Install the anchoring bolts into the tile (Patent Pending). |
|

Place the TekTool™ in the ramp to help outline area where detectable warnings will be placed. |
|
Remove ¾ inch of concrete from within the TekTool™. |
|
| |
Remove TekTool™ and, using a wood float, level the area where detectable warnings will be placed. |
|
Brush the back of each tile with a pre-dampened brush to aid adhesion of cement mixture. |
|
| |
Apply a minimum 1/8 inch mixture of 3:1:1 ratio of portland cement, sand and portable water to the back of the tile. |
|
Place the tile into the leveled area. Prepare additional tile(s). Align and put into place additional tile(s). Position tiles into concrete and level by using a rubber mallet. |

- The thin-set method may be a better choice when taking into account scheduling, the size or shape of the ramp or the flush curb, or ease of install.
- For example, large semi-circular ramps are easy to install by this method.
- Thin-sets that have been tested and proven to provide a solid installation are Mapei Grani Rapid System or Mapei Kerabond/ Keralastic System.
- Easy to cut radiuses and angles with a standard concrete saw using a diamond Blade.
- Complete installation instructions by the thin-set method are available by contacting our customer service department.
- Contractor training available.
