Lozenge Platform Edge On Street (LRT) Tactile Paving
The lozenge surface warns visually impaired people that they are approaching the edge of an on-street light rapid transit (LRT) platform.
Our surface mounted tactile paving tile systems provide a fast, easy and economical solution while complying with strict government guidance.
Tactile paving provides guidance and warning for visually impaired pedestrians. Our cost-effective GRP and resin/stone composite tactile paving has been designed to meet all relevant government guidance on the use of tactile paving contained in the document ‘Guidance on the Use of Tactile Paving Surfaces’. Not only are we trusted suppliers of cost-effective adhesive stick on tactiles, we also provide an installation service across the UK.Â

Surface mounted tactile paving systems offer many advantages over traditionally used concrete materials. Not only do they provide greater longevity, the cost of installation is also lower.Â
With no excavation required, the installation of surface bonded tactile paving tiles takes a fraction of the time it would take to lay concrete pavers. Tests have also shown that composite tactile paving tiles are significantly harder wearing. They are, in fact, up to seven times more durable. Unlike concrete pavers, adhesive tactile paving tiles are not subject to freeze-thaw fracturing and spalling.Â
Our surface mounted tactile paving is constructed from the optimum materials for the job. The full range of self-adhesive tactile tiles we offer is manufactured from a polyurethane resin and stone composite (incorporating recycled material). Blister Platform Edge Off-Street and Corduroy tactiles are also available in corrosion resistant GRP, incorporating a coating of refined aluminium oxide granules.Â
Both types of tactile paving offer extreme durability and low potential for slips under both dry and wet conditions.Â
Tactile paving tiles must be installed in public areas where visually impaired persons could meet a hazard, such as:Â
We offer a full range of tactile paving tiles in the colours specified as appropriate by the Department for Transport document ‘Guidance on the Use of Tactile Paving Surfaces’. Some product types offer a choice of red, yellow, charcoal and grey. The only colour that should be selected is that which suits the installation application.
