RE-INFORCED FIBREGLASS & RESIN TACTILE PAVING

Chelmstone stocks premium grade re-inforced polymer tactiles with UV stabilisers.  

INTEGRATED FIBREGLASS & RESIN TGSIs

​Premium grade fibre re-inforced polymer tactiles with UV Stabilizers. Complies with industry standards and is designed with a high slip rating suitable for any application.

​Chelmstone's Fibreglass and Resin Tactile Mats are made to conform with industry standards set out in AS/NZS 1428.4, and also have a high slip rating which makes it suitable for most Australian pedestrian walkways. It is formed from ultra UV stabilised resin and is reinforced with embedded fibreglass. The final product is an ultra strong material that not only exceeds the properties of easily-decomposable rubber/plastic stick-on TGSI, but also resolves the bubbling and dog-ear issues that are major tripping hazards linked with stick-on products.

Below are Chelmstone's architectural specification codes for our range of size and colour tactiles.

LUMINANCE CALCULATOR

This Calculator uses the open-source Bowman-Sapolinski Equation as stipulated in AS/NZS 1428.4.1:2009

Enter your lowest wet or dry luminance reflective value (LRV) first into the luminance calculator, followed by your corresponding higher wet or dry luminance reflective value (LRV) next. 

If the luminance contrast achieved is great than 30%, the colours are suitably integrated and contrast minimums have been achieved. ​
