What is Tactile Paving?
Tactile Paving is a system of special paving blocks or tiles with surface indicators that are used within walkways to assist pedestrians who are visually impaired. Tactile paving has surface protrusions detectable with a "long cane" or underfoot. The type of protrusion tells the pedestrian something specific about his or her location and direction within the walkway.
Vanstone produces broadly two Tactile Paving Blocks: 1. Warning Blocks or Ramp Blocks that issues an underfoot warning like for a sudden up or down slope. Here the knobs also act as a very effective precaution against slipping. 2. Directional Blocks or Guide Blocks that indicate direction to a visually impaired pedestrian. Vanstone's Tactile Paving Blocks can be used on sidewalks, footpaths, stairs and train station platforms.

| Pigmented colours are cast into the concrete. The colouring is throughout the thickness of the concrete and its appearance is earthy. Bright colours can be obtained by painting with road marking paint. This can be done in the factory on request. The colours shown below are as represented by your computer screen or printer through the eyes of the camera that first took the pictures. It is approximate only and not meant to be true to the real products. |
