- Tactile Indicators
- 8, 05, 2019
Whether you’re planning a public walkway, a busy transport hub, or a commercial building, Aluminium Tactile Indicators are a smart choice. They combine safety, durability, and modern design—all in one simple solution.
Today, creating inclusive spaces isn’t just a trend—it’s a must. That’s where Tactile Ground Surface Indicators (TGSIs) come in. These raised bumps and bars help people with vision impairments navigate safely across crossings, ramps, stairs, and public entryways. And when it comes to choosing the right material, aluminium stands out for being tough, lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and easy to install.
What Makes Aluminium Tactile Indicators a Smart Investment?
Aluminium tactile indicators are increasingly used in modern architecture and public infrastructure due to their durability, lightweight structure, and stylish finish. These indicators are corrosion-resistant, long-lasting, and can be anodized for added strength and aesthetic appeal.
Whether you’re working on an indoor fit-out or an outdoor streetscape, aluminium TGSIs provide reliable performance in all environments. Their clean lines and customisable finishes make them a favourite among urban planners and architects who want safety solutions without compromising visual design.
ADA-Compliant Truncated Domes for Public Safety
In line with international standards, our truncated dome tactile indicators serve as a reliable navigation aid for the visually impaired. Commonly found at curb ramps, shopping centres, parks, and bus stations, these indicators provide an underfoot warning of upcoming hazards such as vehicular crossings or stairways.
The raised domes can be easily felt with a cane or foot, allowing users to detect changes in their environment quickly and safely.

We are proud to offer 100% made-in-India tactile indicators, built to meet global quality benchmarks. Our aluminium tactile products are manufactured using precision techniques and materials that stand the test of time.
From detectable warning surfaces to decorative tactile strips, we supply versatile options that cater to a wide range of accessibility projects across commercial, public, and industrial spaces.
Why Choose Anodized Aluminium TGSIs?
When it comes to tactile ground surface indicators (TGSIs), choosing the right finish is just as important as choosing the right material. That’s where anodized aluminium truly shines.
Anodizing is an advanced surface treatment process that strengthens aluminium by creating a protective oxide layer on its surface. This isn’t just a top coat—it’s a part of the metal itself. As a result, anodized aluminium offers several major advantages over traditional painted or coated options.
Superior Resistance to Wear and Corrosion:
One of the biggest benefits of anodized aluminium is its exceptional durability. The anodizing process makes the surface much harder and more resistant to scratches, corrosion, and everyday wear and tear. This is especially important in high-traffic public areas like train stations, bus stops, and commercial buildings where tactile indicators are constantly in use.
Long-Lasting Colour That Doesn’t Fade:
Unlike surface coatings that sit on top of the metal, anodizing creates deep pores in the aluminium. These pores are filled with colour pigments that become part of the material itself. The result? Vibrant colours that last for years, even when exposed to sunlight, moisture, or foot traffic. You won’t have to worry about the colours peeling, chipping, or flaking over time.
Enhanced Safety Through High Contrast:
Safety is always a priority when it comes to tactile indicators, and visual contrast plays a key role. Anodized aluminium offers a sleek metallic finish that can be customised in a variety of high-contrast colours, improving visibility for people with low vision. This makes it easier for users to detect where steps begin, where to stop, or how to navigate a change in direction.
A Perfect Blend of Style and Function:
In addition to all the practical benefits, anodized aluminium also brings a modern, high-end look. Its clean lines and metallic sheen make it ideal for architects and designers who want safety solutions that don’t compromise the aesthetics of the space. Whether you’re working on a government project or a high-end commercial build, anodized tactile indicators add both form and function to your design.
