Tactile ground surface indicators from Guardian for schools, hospitals and more

Guardian Tactile ground surface indicators are used to warn people who are blind or vision impaired that they are approaching a hazardous situation. It may be a fence, a ramp, set of stairs, a street crossing, or an overhead obstruction that they can injure themselves on.

The Guardian system is a new generation solution for instant, durable and aesthetically pleasing tactile ground surface indicators. This unique product blends style and versatility within a system that is modular, flexible and extremely cost effective.

Guardian's ground breaking 'peel and bond' technology is state of the art in its design, yet simple and easy to install, giving it an immediate practical appeal and extensive usage possibilities.

Guardian Tactiles are fully safety-compliant and can be incorporated into new or existing areas to aid the vision impaired. They have passed the CSIRO Slip Resistance Tests and meet the AS/NZS 4586:1999 (Appendix D) Standards in Test Report No. 3411s dated 15 March 2007 with an R12 Rating. Guardian Tactiles are CSIRO tested (ASTM C1343) and approved to the Taber abrasive index level of 84.4. This equates to a wear resistance factor of about 3 times that of concrete.
