Purchase only Detectable Warning Surfaces that are made according to the ADAAG specifications. Our company, STOPSignsAndMore.com, guarantees that all of our ADA Dome Mats and pads adhere to these specifications.

R304.1.1 - Size of Truncated Domes:
The base diameter of Truncated Dome Bump Pads or domes should range from a minimum of 23 mm or 0.9 inch to a maximum of 36 mm or 1.4 inches. Also, the top diameter should be a minimum of 50 percent and a maximum of 65 percent of the domes’ base diameter. Along with these size regulations, the height of the domes needs to be 5 millimeter or 0.2 inch.

R304.1.2 - Spacing of Truncated Domes:

The latter spacing is the distance between the most adjacent truncated domes.
