Blister Tactile Paving For Pedestrian Crossings

Our blister tactile paving provides a warning to those who are visually impaired at pedestrian crossings. Blister tactiles are vital to help these people differentiate between where the footpath ends and the carriageway begins.

Specification

  • Stone resin composite tile
  • Choice of colour – Red (controlled crossings) or Buff (uncontrolled crossings)
  • High wear resistance that far outperforms concrete
  • Colour matched adhesive system available

Benefits

  • Rapid installation
  • No excavation required
  • Harder wearing than concrete

Tiles:

The blister tactile tiles are made from a hard wearing stone and resin composite moulded to create paving which will outperform equivalent concrete product. Tests conducted at the Transport Research Laboratory on product conditioned at 40ºC found no measurable loss in height at the end of a scuffing test.

Surface skid resistance measured: 61

Preferred range set by the Joint Mobility Unit of SRV = 50-70

Building Investigation and Testing Services (Redhill) conducted a comparative wear test against a concrete blister slab and found the tactile paving had a wear resistance 7 times greater than the equivalent concrete product.

Installation of the blister tactile surface system is both rapid and straightforward and is achieved using a colour matched, two part adhesive.  No excavation is ever required. Small surface irregularities can be covered with the adhesive to ensure no cavities are left beneath the tiles. The tiles can be easily cut to follow kerb lines or to accommodate ramps and drain covers. They naturally deform over cambered, curved areas.

For example, a typical installation to both sides of a controlled pedestrian crossing can be completed in less than 2 hours – reducing disruption to the public.  Large areas e.g. railway platforms, can be achieved in overnight/possession times.  Blister tiles can be laid on concrete, tarmac and steel surfaces using either standard urethane adhesive or the moisture tolerant epoxy system.

Description Icon Description

Our blister tactile paving provides a warning to visually impaired people. Without tactile paving at road crossings, this  group of pedestrians would find it difficult to differentiate between where the footway ends and the carriageway begins.

Blister tiles are an essential safety feature at pedestrian crossing points, where the footway is flush with the carriageway to enable wheelchair users to cross unimpeded.

Our pedestrian crossing tactile paving tiles are made from a hard wearing stone and resin composite, moulded to create paving which will outperform equivalent concrete product. Tests conducted at the Transport Research Laboratory on product conditioned at 40oC found no measurable loss in height at the end of a scuffing test.

Surface skid resistance measured: 61

Preferred range set by the Joint Mobility Unit of SRV = 50-70
