Fórsa Braille - Tactile Rubber Tile 600x300mm

Improving Accessibility for the Visually Impaired

Accessibility should be considered in the planning and design stage of streets to ensure that people who are blind and vision impaired can move around safely and independently. The Tactile Rubber Tile Range "Braille" from Fórsa is a heavy duty vulcanised rubber tile that can be adhered to any surface, vastly improving safety for the visually impaired.

These tiles can be used in a variety of locations to improve safety and accessibility for people with visual impairments, including:

• Crosswalks: Tactile rubber tiles can be installed in crosswalks to help pedestrians with visual impairments locate the pedestrian crossing and safely navigate across the street.
• Stairs and escalators: Tactile rubber tiles can be placed on the edge of stairs and escalators to help people with visual impairments locate the edge and navigate up or down safely.
• Bus stops and train stations: Tactile rubber tiles can be used to mark the location of bus stops and train stations, helping people with visual impairments locate these important transportation hubs.
• Building entrances: Tactile rubber tiles can be used to mark the entrance of a building, helping people with visual impairments locate the entrance and navigate inside safely.
• Public parks and recreation areas: Tactile rubber tiles can be used to mark paths and trails in public parks and recreation areas, helping people with visual impairments navigate these outdoor spaces safely.
