How do you feel? Confused, frustrated, scared, vulnerable? How do you know where to go; the right direction to take; when to stop; when to start; how safe it is to stand where you are standing? Sight is a sense we overwhelmingly take for granted until we lose it. For many in our society, life or death judgment calls without the advantage of sight are a day to day, minute by minute reality. How do people with a vision impairment survive in a society that is predominantly geared towards those of us who can see? This question motivated the federal government to pass the Disability...

THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF TACTILE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS TACT I L E G R O U N D S U R FAC E I N D I CATORS SureSteel® For tactile indicators to meet their primary purpose – assistance for the vision impaired – durability is critical. If they become displaced or broken over time, they can become a hazard in themselves. The challenge when designing durable tactile indicators is to make them easy to install onto a wide variety of surfaces. SureSteel® stainless steel tactile indicators provide high visibility, the highest slip resistance and long term durability in a single product. They can...

SAFETY AND COMPLIANCE SureSteel® tactile indicators meet or exceed all relevant Building Code of Australia and Australian/New Zealand Standards for slip resistance (AS/NZS 4582:2004) and luminance contrast (AS/NZ 1428 Part 4). Because of their high durability, they will continue to meet those requirements over the long term. The R13 slip resistance rating of both the concentric ring and grit in-fi lled options is the highest available rating for tactile indicators. It exceeds the requirements for external ramps, walkways and pedestrian crossings. INSTALLATION Understanding the importance of...

THE MOST COMPREHENSIVE RANGE OF TACTILE GUIDANCE SYSTEMS For too long, architects and specifi ers have had to compromise their carefully designed interior and exterior colour schemes by choosing from a restrictive range of colour options in tactile ground surface indicators. SureSteel® Select turns the tables on this situation, combining stainless steel with colour. Finally, a wide range of colour options is available without trading off the high levels of compliance, safety and durability of stainless steel. The aesthetic potential of SureSteel® Select is almost limitless. When choosing...

When appearance and durability are paramount, it’s hard to go past stainless steel as the choice of material for tactile ground surface indicators. SureSteel® Plates offer the benefi ts of stainless steel with the convenience and ease of installation of a prefabricated plate. For design fl exibility, SureSteel® Plates are available in full stainless steel (with concentric ring or grit in-fi lled top surfaces) and also in the SureSteel® Select colour range. Stud insert colour options include ivory, yellow, grey, black, terracotta, green and blue – all over a high-shine steel base. Of course,...

PolyBlade® offers an alternative installation option for plastic tactile indicators, ideal for large areas where the aesthetic disruption of a pad- or plate-type indicator is not wanted. The product is available in both stud and directional indicator formats, making it highly versatile and suited to a wide range of situations. PolyBlade® is easily installed onto most substrates using a saw-cut process. As with all CTA products, this can be organised by the builder or project manager, or CTA can arrange installation by our professional installers with guaranteed short turnaround times....

The need for an instant installation of tactile indicators shouldn’t mean a compromise in safety. PolyTile® self-adhesive tactile indicator tiles can be laid in minutes but still provide very high adherence to building safety requirements. And like all CTA products, they are built to last. PolyTile® tactile ground surface indicators were designed for a unique purpose: to give an older building an almost instant improvement in safety in line with the requirements of the Disability Discrimination Act and Australian building codes. PolyTile® tiles are simple peel-andstick tiles which can be...
