Stainless steel tactile bars with carborundum insert, also known as tactile walking surface indicators (TWSI), are raised linear indicators designed to guide visually impaired individuals along safe walking paths and provide hazard awareness in public and commercial environments. These tactile bars deliver clear and continuous tactile feedback, helping users maintain orientation and navigate safely.
Widely installed across railway platforms, metro stations, airports, ramps, escalators, staircases, pedestrian pathways, and public infrastructure, these tactile guidance bars play a critical role in improving accessibility and wayfinding. The integrated carborundum insert enhances surface grip and slip resistance, ensuring reliable performance even in high-traffic and wet conditions.
Manufactured from high-grade stainless steel, these tactile indicators offer excellent durability, corrosion resistance, and long service life. The combination of stainless steel construction and carborundum anti-slip insert ensures long-term performance under heavy foot traffic and harsh environmental exposure.
These tactile bars are suitable for both indoor and outdoor applications and can be installed in new construction as well as retrofit projects. Their robust design ensures minimal maintenance while maintaining consistent tactile performance over time.
Designed in accordance with PWD guidelines and international accessibility standards such as AS/NZS 1428.4.1:2009 and ISO 23599:2019, these TWSI tactile bars support compliance with accessibility and inclusive design requirements across infrastructure and commercial developments.
Available in customizable sizes, finishes, and configurations, these stainless steel tactile bars are widely specified in transport, municipal, and commercial projects to create safer, more accessible, and user-friendly environments.
