Our surface mounted tactile paving has been designed to meet strict government guidance on the use of hazard warning paving. Not only are we trusted suppliers of cost effective adhesive stick on tactiles, we also provide a full tactile paving installation service across the UK.
The Department for Environment, Transport and The Regions Regulations place requirements on local authorities and duty holders to provide effective tactile paving. The guidance and warning that this provides for visually impaired pedestrians is vital for their safety. Tactile paving tiles must be installed in public areas where visually impaired persons could meet a hazard, such as:
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.
Our cost effective GRP and resin/stone composite tactile tile systems provide a fast, easy and economical solution. They are also compliant with the Equality Act 2010.
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.
In terms of colour, we offer the univeral standard of buff tactile paving while many product types offer a choice of red, yellow, charcoal and grey. The colour we recommend will depend on the application.
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.
Both types of tactile paving offer extreme durability and low potential for slips under both dry and wet conditions.
