GuideStrip (Guide Strips) / Tactile Guidance Cues
The advantages to using the VANGUARD system are clear
All Vanguard Detectable Warnings / TWSI’s are liquid applied. This allows them to not only follow the existing contours of your applied surface, but more importantly, Vanguard products will continue to follow the contours of the surface over time. Because Vanguard products are installed using liquid plastic, Vanguard products “become one” with the surface, conforming to every nuance to the applied surface.
Always nonskid, and liquid applied, always “zero clearance” (same height as the applied surface itself).
No more replacing tiles due to freeze / thaw heave, no more trip hazards from edges curling or thick backing plates, and because VANGUARD products literally attach to every micron of the applied surface, water can’t get underneath allowing moisture to degrade the structural surface below.
Due to variations in the surface applied to, GuideStrip may range from 0.18″ to 0.22″ in installed height.

Our Customers Say It Best
“Thanks Jon for your snow reports. Because of your report I put the plow on the truck Monday night. We got an inch starting at 6:30 AM to 7:30 AM. After using the plow on Fortuna hill for an hour the snow started melting as it warmed. Your heads up definitely helped the campus prepare for this event. If I had relied on AccuWeather I would not have been prepared.”
“…I’ve had the pleasure of working with TILCO Vanguard for the past four (4) years, and unlike that of many vendors, their service has actually improved over time. I am continually impressed with their responsiveness, ability to create solutions, and overall care for our properties. I regularly feel as if I’m their only client…My advice to other property managers: Hire TILCO Vanguard, and let them do what they know how to do best.”
“…Your product has held up very well in the past six months. When I was on site recently, all domes were intact and there was no sign of the color fading. Your product still looks like it was installed yesterday…”
