CAUTIONAL FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER TACTILE DIMENSIONS

Cautional (Warning) tactiles (TGSIs) indicate to those with a visual impairments of an approaching hazard. Cautional TGSIs provide a ‘message’ to pause and consider a change in direction. Chelmstone's Fibreglass Cautional (Warning) Tactiles come in a 600 x 300 x 2mm dimensional pad. Some common areas which require the installation of cautional (warning) tactiles include:

​

  • Stairways

  • Escalators

  • Edge of carriageways

  • Ramps

  • Railways Platforms

  • Bust and Tram stops

  • Driveways

  • Overhead hazards

DIRECTIONAL FIBRE REINFORCED POLYMER TACTILE DIMENSIONS

Directional tactiles (TGSIs) give people with visual impairments directional orientation in open spaces where there are insufficient cues such as handrails or walls. Directional tactiles designate the route to be taken to avoid a hazard. Chelmstone's Fibreglass and Resin Directional Tactiles come in a 600 x 300 x 2mm dimensional pad. Some common areas which require the installation of directional tactiles include:

​

  • A mid-block kerb ramp or street crossing

  • Public transport access point 

  • Point of entry to a significant public facility

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. ​
