Tactile Indicators

DDA-compliant tactile ground surface indicators for safe and accessible public and commercial spaces.

Tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs) are required under the Disability Discrimination Act and AS/NZS 1428.4.1 at hazard points, stairways, and pedestrian crossings. Non-compliance creates both safety risks and legal liability.

We install both discrete and integrated tactile indicators in stainless steel, polyurethane, and ceramic, with warning and directional patterns suited to your specific application. Installation methods include surface-applied and recessed options, ensuring full compliance with Australian accessibility standards while maintaining the aesthetic of your floor finish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where are tactile indicators required?
Tactile indicators are required at hazard points including the top and bottom of stairs, escalators and ramps, railway platform edges, pedestrian crossings, and at the approach to any change in level or potential hazard in public areas. Requirements are defined in AS/NZS 1428.4.1.
What is the difference between warning and directional tactile indicators?
Warning (hazard) tactile indicators have a truncated dome pattern and are installed to alert users to a hazard ahead, such as stairs or a road crossing. Directional tactile indicators have an elongated bar pattern and guide users along a path of travel.
Can tactile indicators be installed on existing floors?
Yes. Surface-applied tactile indicators are bonded directly onto existing floor surfaces including concrete, stone, tiles, and resin coatings. Recessed installation involves cutting into the floor surface for a flush finish and is typically used on new builds or during major refurbishment.
