Tactile Walking Surface Indicators
Tactile Warning Tiles, or Attention Tiles, indicate special hazards for the blind or visually impaired. They are used to indicate
changes in level in areas such as steps, ramps and escalators. These tiles deliver a texture that can be detected with canes or
through shoe soles. People with limited sight might also detect the visual contrast. All Tactile Warning Tiles meet the
specific size and dimension standards as required by ISO/FDIS 23599.
Tactile Guide Tiles, or Guide Tiles, are designed to aid the blind and visually impaired to traverse
open spaces by indicating primary routes of travel. They too are designed to be used by the
blind while using a long white cane or by those with residual vision alerted by the visual
contrast of the Tactile Guide Tile to the surrounding floor. All Tactile Guide Tiles meet the
specific size and dimension standards as required by ISO/FDIS 23599.
