Stainless Steel Tactile Studs – Blister Indicators for Accessible Paving

Ensure safety and accessibility with our high-quality stainless steel tactile studs, also known as blister indicators. Designed for visually impaired pedestrians, these durable studs provide clear tactile warning and wayfinding guidance on public pavements, transport hubs, and commercial buildings. Fully compliant with the Equality Act 2010, Part M of the Building Regulations, and BS 8300 accessibility standards, they are the ideal choice for accessible paving projects.

Durable, Slip-Resistant Tactile Studs

Our tactile studs are made from 304 or 316 grade stainless steel, offering exceptional durability in both indoor and outdoor environments. The raised blister dome design provides clear tactile feedback while avoiding trip hazards. Slip-resistant surfaces make them suitable for wet or high-footfall areas, ensuring pedestrian safety at every step.

Flexible Fixing Options for Accessible Paving

We provide multiple fixing solutions to meet different project needs. For DfT-compliant installations, choose from epoxy adhesive-fixed studs or mechanically fixed drilled studs. For general tactile guidance, 3M self-adhesive studs offer a quick and convenient solution.
