Uses for Tactile Ground Surface Indicators

Australian Standards AS/N25 1428.4:2002 require the extensive use of tactile ground surface indicators in a wide range of areas, such as:

  • Bus stops
  • Car park crossings
  • Kerbs, step and intersection pram ramps
  • Railway platforms
  • Passenger wharves
  • Alfresco dining areas
  • Stairways, escalators and ramps
  • Changes of direction
  • Hazards within a circulation space
  • Hazards adjacent to a path of travel
  • Overhead hazards below 2000mm

Anywhere, anytime - in no time

The revolutionary peel and bond design ensures that Guardian Tactiles can be installed and walked on immediately. This presents instant cost benefits in terms of the great savings on time, labour and material.

The innovative self adhesive cross linking polymer coating achieves a complete and permanent "bond" as they are laid.

Going in all directions

Because the tiles are relatively light, they can be packed and despatched for use nationally and internationally using overnight or parcel couriers.

This makes them ideal for use in remote areas where bulky and costly machinery and labour would need to be brought in for alternative solutions, such as concrete tactile indicators.

Public and private buildings in smaller towns and remote areas can purchase a small order and self-install with the minimum of effort without needing labour or machinery.

Their peel and bond nature means there is no mess with installation and no cleaning up required.
