FAQs - Frequently Asked Questions
1.) How many tiles are there in a box? – 8 per box2.) What size are the tiles? – 2ft x 1ft
3) How much does a box of tiles weigh? – 26-31 lbs depending on tile type.
4.) How much does an adhesive kit weigh? – 11 lbs.
5.) How many tiles can be installed with one adhesive kit? – One adhesive kit will adhere one box of tiles on an average substrate.
6.) What equipment is required to fit these tiles?
• Power drill and paddle mix – to mix adhesive
• Duck tape – to mark adhesive application area
• Chalk line – pathfinder installation or rail road platform projects
• Notched trowel – to apply the adhesive to the substrate
• Small angle grinder with wire cup brush – surface preparation
• Latex gloves – to protect hands
• Paint thinner and shop rags - for cleaning up
• Roller wheel – to remove trapped air
7.) In what conditions can the tiles be laid? – The temperature must be above 36°F. Temperature and radiant heat from the sun will affect cure times, the warmer the conditions, the faster the cure. If fitting tiles below 50°F ‘Visul Quik-Set’ adhesive is required.
8.) How long does the adhesive take to cure? – cure times vary dependant on temperature, Quik-set takes 30 minutes to 1 hour between 50 and 75°F respectively.
9.) Does Visul's truncated dome tile meet ADA requirements? - Yes. Visul Corporation's Flex Stone Panels have been manufactured to function as the best truncated dome detectable warning surface available while meeting ADA / ADAAG requirements.
10.) Does the winter climates effect the Visul Flex Stone Panels? - No. QEP's Visul Detectable Warning System Tiles are still flexible in colder climates, hence, no cracking will occur. Also, due to the polyurethane content of the tiles they are nonporous, therefore will not absorb water through freeze thaw cycles.
11.) What are the detectable warning tiles made of? - They are made of polyurethane and a stone aggregate blend.
12.) What adhesive and secondary fixings are required to install the tiles? - The Visul adhesive system is the only adhesive required in the installation method. There is absolutely no need for any secondary fixing i.e. screws and furthermore we do not recommend.
13.) Do you have installation instructions? - The tiles are supplied with installation instructions with picture illustrations.
14.) Where can I find installation instructions? - 'Click here'Visul's installation demonstration.
15.) What colors are available? - Currently we manufacture in three colors as standard (red, yellow, buff and black) however, we can color match to specific requirements upon request.
16.) Does Visul Corporation do any installation training or product demonstrations? Yes we train contractors and city employees when required to install. We also demonstrate the product upon request.
17.) Can Visul Flex-Stone Panels be adhered with the Visul adhesive system directly onto asphalt? Yes they can, supported by test results reflecting 100% cohesive failure of the asphalt. These results are available upon request.
18.) Can Visul Flex-Stone Panels be adhered with the Visul adhesive system directly onto concrete? Yes they can, with supported by test results reflecting 100% cohesive failure of the concrete. These results are available upon request.
