Polyurethane Tactile Pads – Self‑Adhesive or Non‑Adhesive (Studs & Lines)
Polyurethane tactile pads are a durable, flexible, and high‑visibility solution for guiding visually impaired pedestrians in both indoor and outdoor environments. Manufactured using Bayer Desmopan high‑tech polyurethane, these pads deliver exceptional UV resistance, long‑term color stability, and high slip‑resistance performance suitable for UAE climate conditions.
Available in 300×300 mm and 400×400 mm modular tiles, these tactile pads come in two formats:
- Warning Studs (Type B) – raised domes for hazard identification
- Directional Lines (Type C) – raised bars for pathway guidance
Each tile is available in self‑adhesive form for fast installation or non‑adhesive for epoxy‑bonded applications. The modular square format allows endless layout configurations and easy cutting for curved or irregular surfaces.
These tactile pads comply with international safety standards and are widely used in malls, government buildings, metro stations, hospitals, and public walkways across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
