Cross Grip Chamfered Edge Tactile Paving
Viztek Ltd always strive to be at the forefront of any tactile paving innovation that can improve passenger safety, as we did with the “Chamfered Edge Tactile Paving” system way back in 2014.
innovative safety system
Since then we have been looking at ways of improving passenger safety further, being aware that when tactile paving is trafficked, even more so when trafficked with hard soled shoes, as it is only the blisters that come into contact with the footfall.
Therefore, despite the gridded or any base area being of a high level of anti-slip, it is indeed the blister domes that need to offer the most slip resistance. Especially as it is such a small area that makes contact with any footwear. Which why we set about researching an improved pattern to the blister dome top and one that would last throughout the duration of the life span of the tactile paving.
The “Cross Grip®” pattern provided the best results as opposed to any other design, for example, a set of pyramid protrusions etc. as they would wear down over time, whereas the cross grip grooves would far outlast such a design as they are grooves cut into the blister dome itself. Providing a much improved, long lasting anti-slip tactile paving system that is second to none.
