Digital application scenes illustrate how the product may be used; they are not records of completed customer projects.

Tactile indicators provide floor information that blind pedestrians can detect with the sole of the foot and a white cane. The function of dotted and ribbed patterns is selected for the application, orientation and project country accessibility scheme. Tactile surfaces are assessed with a layout plan for dropped kerbs, heads of stairs, platforms and building entrances. Profile dimensions, luminance contrast against the ground and slip resistance are confirmed separately for the selected product.

  • Texture detected by foot and cane
  • Pattern follows the country layout scheme
  • Contrast and slip are assessed separately

Key features

  • Dotted textureThe warning field is arranged for the application and the country accessibility scheme.
  • Ribbed textureThe meaning of a ribbed pattern depends on orientation and country scheme; not every ribbed surface is a guidance surface.
  • Detection by foot and caneThe relief carries the message detected through the ground; confirm profile dimensions for the selected product.
  • Contrast with the groundAssess luminance contrast with the surrounding ground; a colour name alone is insufficient.
  • Application selectionMatch the plate, existing ground, moisture conditions and fixing method together.
  • Separate performance fieldsConfirm profile dimensions, contrast and slip resistance with their respective measurements or reports.

Product and pattern

Pattern functionDotted or ribbed texture is selected with location and orientation under the country accessibility scheme.
Plate and profile dimensionsPlate dimensions, thickness, relief height and element spacing are confirmed against the selected model datasheet.
MaterialMaterial grade and application method are confirmed together for the selected product.

Ground and application

LayoutPosition, setback, warning field and route direction are defined in the accessibility design.
FixingGround, moisture conditions, surface preparation, fixing method and reopening time are matched to product instructions.
Contrast and slipLuminance difference against the ground and slip resistance are assessed with separate measurements or reports.

Section and foundation

Two complete tactile plates: 50 domes and 8 bars.

Installation

Method and tools needed

  • Pattern and layout: Define the pattern, orientation and location in the country accessibility design; mark the installation line on site.
  • Ground and fixings: Match plate material, ground and moisture conditions to product instructions. For bonded applications, obtain surface preparation and reopening time from the adhesive instructions.
  • Final check: Verify profile, fixings, slip and contrast separately with the required measurements or reports; compare the layout with the accessibility design.

Maintenance and cleaning

  • Relief and surrounding ground: Monitor wear and damage; include replacement planning in site maintenance.
  • Fixings and edges: Assess the fixing if detachment or lifted edges are found; determine repairs from the actual material and fixing instructions.
  • Cleaning and inspection: Follow the actual material manufacturer cleaning instructions; check relief, contrast and slip conditions after maintenance.

Where it is used

  • Pedestrian crossing. The tactile warning field and position at the dropped kerb follow the country crossing scheme.
  • Head of stairs. Tactile pattern, orientation and setback follow the applicable accessibility scheme for stairs.
  • Platform and stop. The tactile warning field follows the platform and stop project layout scheme.
  • Building entrance and terminal. The tactile guidance route connects entrances and service points under the accessibility design.

Standard reference

ISO 23599 gives product specifications and installation recommendations for tactile walking surface indicators for blind or vision-impaired people. It distinguishes an attention pattern and a guiding pattern.

The layout follows the applicable national accessibility rules and the site’s pedestrian routes; the standard does not replace national requirements.

Pattern and layout are matched to the project country accessibility requirements. Profile, contrast and slip documentation are assessed separately for the selected product; a product report does not replace the layout plan.

Frequently asked

Does every ribbed surface mean guidance?

No. The function follows the country’s layout scheme and application; some transverse ribbed surfaces are used to warn of a hazard.

Does the schematic drawing define manufacturing dimensions?

The drawing shows two complete plates and the counts of 50 domes and 8 bars. Plate thickness, relief height, element diameter and spacing are not inferred from this view; confirm them against the selected model datasheet.

Does anti-slip coating serve the same function as a tactile surface?

Slip resistance and texture sensed by a cane or foot are separate properties. Anti-slip coating alone does not define a warning or guidance pattern.

Can layout dimensions be derived from plate dimensions?

No. Position, setback, warning field and route direction follow the project country’s accessibility guidance and layout drawing.
