GRP SURFACE MOUNTED TACTILES
EXCELLENT SURFACE MOUNTED, ADHESIVE TACTILE PAVING
Our surface mounted tactiles are adhesive, easy to install, and require very little maintenance. The fast-curing, colour-match adhesive sets within 2 hours and can even be applied in damp environments.
Suitable for most standard surfaces including asphalt, concrete, ceramics, steel, and wood, with no surface excavation required.
Adhesive tactile pavers are required to meet certain regulations, and designed to support the visually impaired. That’s why their Surface Skid Resistance Value is 61, meaning they’re low for the potential of slips. We are able to help to ensure that you have the correct tactile paving for your needs.
Forget shopping around. Enjoy the most competitive costs around with our Price Promise.

Types of Polyurethane Adhesive Tactile Pavers
Blister Pedestrian Crossing (Highway)
The blister surface of the tiles provides a warning to visually impaired people. The surface is therefore an essential safety feature for this group of road users at pedestrian crossing points, where the footway is flush with the carriageway to enable wheelchair users to cross unimpeded.
Corduroy Tactiles
The purpose of the corduroy surface is to warn visually impaired people of the presence of specific hazards; steps, level crossings or the approach to on-street, light rapid transport (LTR) platforms. Corduroy Tactiles are also used where a footway joins a shared route. It conveys the message: hazard, proceed with caution.
Blister Platform Edge - Off Street
These tactile are used to advise visually impaired people of the edge of all off-street railway platforms. The blister surface can be read by foot or cane, warning of the approach to a rail platform edge.
Tactile pavers must adhere to strict regulations for size, angle and position. Find out more about tactile paving regulations.
We can also supply - Tactile Guidance Path 400 x 400mm, Cycleway 400mm x 400mm
