  1. Which Colour Detectable Warning Tiles Should the Contractors Use? Installing detectable warning tiles is one of the many requirements outlined in the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) to create public spaces accessible to everyone. Although aimed at providing a non-visual warning of upcoming potential hazards, the visual appearance of detectable warning tiles is strictly regulated by AODA, CSA, and ISO. From tile size to truncated dome dimensions and from installation locations to the colour of detectable warning surfaces are all regulated by the CSA. https://www.tactilesolution.ca/

  2. Even though CSA tiles are usually seen in yellow colour, the CSA doesn’t ask for a specific colour for detectable warning surfaces. Still, it does mandate CSA detectable warning tiles to provide a stark visual contrast to the surrounding substrate. As a contractor, you should use light-coloured CSA tiles for dark surfaces and dark-coloured CSA tiles for light surfaces. For instance, yellow colour detectable warning tiles provide a great visual contrast to concrete sidewalks. Contrast and Code Compliance When detectable warning tiles are installed strictly following AODA, CSA, and ISO regulations, people with visual impairments can recognize the colour difference between the AODA, CSA, and ISO warning tiles and walking surface, giving a sufficient warning to proceed carefully. Contractors should use the colour of CSA tiles that best suits the project and uphold the CSA's visual requirements. In simple terms, aesthetics don’t have to be sacrificed for code compliance.

  3. Apart from providing visual contrast, AODA, CSA, and ISO tiles have no right or wrong colour choice. The choice of color is often based on aesthetics and what would fit best in the chosen space. Following are some common detectable warning tiles colours that contractors can consider: • Yellow: It is an eye-catching colour that provides great contrast against most substrates. Moreover, yellow indicates caution, communicating to pedestrians to proceed carefully. • Red: Red colour immediately signifies “STOP” and lets pedestrians assess their surroundings cautiously. Red colour CSA tiles can install against lighter surfaces. • Blue: Blue is often used to communicate accessibility and can be seen in handicap-accessible areas. Against dark surfaces, blue provides a great significant contrast. • Gray and Black: This colour AODA, CSA, and ISO tiles are an aesthetically pleasing choice which compliments modern design features while providing visual contrast against light surfaces. https://www.tactilesolution.ca/
