Our experience has proven that there is no substitute for mechanical fixing. Fixing a Tactile Indicator onto an existing pedestrian floor with adhesive has proven to date to be less reliable than we considered acceptable. We will however continue to research this option.

 

All Indicators currently have a profiled plug incorporated into the design of each tactile indicator which suits a pre drilled 8mm hole. The depth of hole is dependant on the substrate material. Typically a 25mm depth hole is sufficient when fixing the tactile indicator to concrete.

 

Austact can provide a drill template to assist with drilling to the required matrix standard. These templates are available in 300mm x 600mm or 600mm x 600mm for D.I.Y. kits. Location pins are supplied to allow for easy longer matrix applications. Alternatively, Austact can supply and install in most areas.
