About Tactile Indicators products
Across tiled and stone surfaces, tactile indicators provide directional guidance or warn of hazards. The range includes the GMPTD4002 GuideMaster Plain Tile Directional and GMPTH4002 GuideMaster Plain Tile Hazard, intended for locations where the indicator sits within the tile finish instead of forming a raised plate.
Tactile indicators
Projects requiring a hard-wearing metal finish can use stainless steel tactile indicators. Examples include the GMSSS10 Solid Stainless Steel Hazard Tactile and GMSSS14 Stainless Steel Hazard Tactile / Black Carb. Check the tile thickness, substrate and fixing method before setting out the indicator pattern.
For directional information or hazard warnings to be read underfoot, tactile ground surface indicators need clear contrast and a consistent layout. Tile applications include the GMRTD4002 GuideMaster Rapid Tile Directional and GMRTH4002 GuideMaster Rapid Tile Hazard, alongside solid brass options such as the GMBD10 Solid Brass Directional Tactile.
Where are tactile indicators used?
Directional indicators guide movement along a circulation route, while hazard indicators mark a change or obstruction. Confirm the layout against the project access requirements before installing the tiles.
How should stainless steel tactile indicators be specified?
Confirm the indicator diameter or profile, tile build-up and substrate with the manufacturer or installer. Set out the pattern from the finished surface to prevent grout joints and adjacent tiles affecting the intended alignment.
What should be checked for tactile ground surface indicators?
Check the colour contrast, spacing, fixing detail and finished height against the project specification. A sample panel can confirm the relationship between the tactile, grout and surrounding tile before laying the full area.
