The Functions of Directional Tactile Indicator Bar & Strips
Directional tactile indicators are guided the way for the blind or vision-impaired.
(A). To give directional orientation in open spaces where there are insufficient
tactile directional cues, e.g., handrails or walls;
NOTE: A person who is blind or vision impaired may need to negotiate a large internal/external public space, plaza or courtyard to have access to reception, a toilet, a public telephone or other facility for which there are no existing tactile directional cues.
(B). To designate the route to be taken to avoid a hazard in the absence of existing tactile cues.
(C). To give directional orientation where a person must deviate. Our main material for tactile bars is Stainless steel ( Marine Grade stainless steel 316 & 304), Brass , Red copper , Aluminum , Polyurethane (PU ) .
