Product Overview

The i-glo FLEXI-TACT BLISTER Photoluminescent Surface Tactiles from IPL group are specially designed safety features that create a clear demarcation between pedestrian footpaths and roadways. These tactile warning surfaces assist visually impaired individuals by providing both physical and visual cues at crossing points. The distinct raised blister pattern can be detected underfoot or with a cane, while the colour-coding system (red for controlled crossings, buff for uncontrolled crossings) offers additional guidance for those with partial vision. Essential for public safety and accessibility compliance, these tactiles create more navigable and inclusive urban environments.

Key Benefits

• Enhanced Safety & Accessibility: Provides tactile and visual warnings to visually impaired pedestrians at footpath/road boundaries, assisting navigation and ensuring public safety.
• Clear Guidance: Features a colour-coded system (Red surfaces indicate controlled crossings, while buff surfaces mark uncontrolled crossings) and high contrast design to enhance visibility for partially sighted individuals in various lighting conditions.
• Highly Durable: Withstands heavy pedestrian traffic and weather exposure for long-term effectiveness.
• Compliance: Meets regulatory requirements for public space safety and accessibility standards.
• Low Slip Risk: Achieves a Pendulum Test Value of 55 PTV, significantly exceeding the HSE recommended minimum of 36 PTV, indicating a low slip probability (less than 1 in 1 million).
