WHY CHOOSE OUR SURFACE MOUNTED TACTILES

Our surface-mounted tactile is easy to install and requires very little maintenance. The fast curing, color-match adhesive sets within 2 hours and can even be applied in damp environments. Suitable for most standard surfaces including asphalt, concrete, ceramics, steel, and wood with no surface excavation required.

    Types of Polyurethane Tactile Pavers

    Blister Pedestrian Crossing (Highway)

    The polyurethane composite blister surface of the tiles provides a warning to visually impaired people. The surface is therefore an essential safety feature for this group of road users at pedestrian crossing points, where the footway is flush with the carriageway to enable wheelchair users to cross unimpeded.

    Corduroy Paving

    The purpose of the corduroy surface is to warn visually impaired people of the presence of specific hazards; steps, level crossings, or the approach to on-street light rapid transport (LTR) platforms. Polyurethane composite corduroy tactiles are also used where a footway joins a shared route. It conveys the message: Hazard, proceed with caution.

    Blister Platform Edge - Off Street

    This Tactile is used to advise visually impaired people about the edge of all off-street railway platforms. The blister surface can be read by foot or cane, warning of the approach to a rail platform edge.

    Tactile pavers must adhere to strict regulations for size, angle, and position. Find out more about tactile paving regulations.

    • The foot of a ramp to an on-street light rapid transit (LRT) platform
    • Level crossings
    • Where people could inadvertently walk directly onto a platform at a railway station
    • Where a footway/footpath joins a shared route

    Tactile Paving Adhesives

    Our tactile pavers are easy to install and require no excavation. Instead of concrete or cement, our tactile pavers use epoxy and polyurethane adhesive.

    Benefits of epoxy and polyurethane adhesive:

    • Cost-effective
    • No shrinkage
    • Solvent-free system
    • No slumping or primers required
    • Excellent adhesion to a wide range of construction material
