Product Overview

The i-glo FLEXI-TACT CORDUROY Photoluminescent Corduroy Tactiles from IPL group are specialised safety surfaces designed to warn pedestrians of specific hazards in their path. The Flexi-tact corduroy design features a series of rounded bars arranged transversely across the direction of travel, creating a distinctive tactile signal that can be detected underfoot or with a cane. These tactiles are specifically installed to highlight potential dangers such as steps, level crossings, or approaches to on-street light rail transit platforms. Their unique pattern differs from other tactile surfaces, ensuring clear differentiation between various types of warnings for visually impaired individuals navigating public spaces.
