Warning (Hazard) Tactile Indicators

Committed to enhancing accessibility and ensuring pedestrian safety, Classic Architectural Group provides industry leading tactile guidance solutions. Our expertise lies in tactile warning indicators, also referred to as tactile warning surfaces and hazard tactiles. These tactiles are meticulously designed to assist individuals of all abilities, including those with visual impairments and older Australians, in navigating public spaces with confidence and ease.

Integrated tactiles

With a raised profile enhancing their visibility, integrated warning tactile indicators come in a tile format and are typically integrated into the surface itself, such as the pavement or steps. Depending on the material type, they can be retrofitted or embedded directly into the floor surface. Integrated warning tactiles can be more resistant to wear and tear or damage caused by foot traffic or other environmental factors. Commonly used material types are polyurethane and ceramic, with ‘peel and stick’ type products making installation more cost-effective.

Discreet Tactiles

Installed as individual raised studs, discreet warning tactile indicators come in a vast array of material types, including solid brass, stainless steel and polyurethane. These indicators come with different tops, for example, grit inserts for anti-slip benefits, as well as different rear stud types, including options without a rear stud that are self-adhesive. The design aesthetic, functional goals and budget all have a role to play in product selection.
