PANEL DIMENSIONS-Tactile Panels are available in 24in.x36in., 24in.x48in., 24in.x60in., 36in.x48in. and 36in.x60in. sizes and measure 3/16in. thick. Panels can be custom cut to fit field conditions. All four edges of each panel have a ½in. beveled edge. Each panel has 12 to 24 pre-formed fastener locations based upon panel size.
MATERIAL - A durable exterior grade homogenous glass, carbon, and fiberglass reinforced composite material which is colorfast and UV stable.

Installation Instructions:
Be sure to read and understand all of these instructions before you begin.
- The installation area should be cleaned of all debris, oil and grease, making sure the area is completely free of moisture. Tactile Panel may be surface mounted on existing pre-cleaned substrate.
- Lay out the Tactile Panel on the substrate as it will appear when installed. If required, the Tactile Panel may be cut using a table saw and carbide tipped blade.
- Place a 3/8” bead of adhesive on the frame of the bottom of each Tactile Panel. Adhesive yield: 10SF per 10 ounce cartridge.
- Set the Tactile Panel in the installation area. Make all necessary adjustments prior to fastening.
- Fasteners shall be installed in pre-formed fastener locations. Holes shall be drilled using a hammer drill with 1/4” x 2” min SDS bits. The drilled holes must be a minimum of 2” deep. Place fasteners in hole and hammer into place. If additional fasteners are required, use a 1/2in., six point, 82 degree countersink to add a new fastener location. Follow the same drilling method for installing the fastener.
- Caulk around perimeter of entire installation using BASF NP1 or equivalent. All concrete dust present on the Tactile Panel resulting from the drilling process must be cleaned off of the Tactile Panel prior to using any caulking materials. *Not recommended or warrantied for asphalt installation
