Step 2. Lock in the tactile indicator
Step 3. Walk Away
• Drill&Lock® eliminates the need for messy, chemical based adhesives and requires only mechanical retention to secure the tactile to the substrate.
• Drill&Lock® removes the waste from packaging, transport, application and cleanup that is created when using adhesives, reducing the overall impact to the environment.
• Drill&Lock® allows the area to be opened to pedestrians immediately after installation.
As part of CTA’s Environment policy, our installers recycle all packaging, water and material used when installing our products. Combining Drill&Lock® with CTA’s complete range of interlocking templates will ensure that your installation is quick, clean and fully compliant with AS1428.
CTA has also developed the EasyAs® carpet installation system to overcome the unique challenge of installing tactile indicators over carpet. This system drastically reduces the stress and cost associated with carpet installations without messy adhesives.
